Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: If you were bargain hunting today, irespective of the sector, which would be your preference Savaria or Davis and Henderson? These are looking good to me, but you might even favour another? I see these two as less risky than some others, of course. and that is an important criterion.
thanks for the good work

Q: I have losses between 55% and 33% on the following list of stocks. DH 55%, PIH 48%, TPK 46%, CAM 33%. My regret is not so much in the losses but rather not having the good sense of using stop loss orders. Would you appreciate your opinion regarding stop loss orders and if you would continue to hold these stocks. With thanks, Bill

Q: I don't own this stock, & know you are not a big fan of this stock, but I read a blog a week ago or so, where the person was highlighting the positive of this company. From what I recall it was stated that there div. was in the range of 40 -45% of cash flow. In there last q report there cash flow increased. Also, the miss was due to a change in progressing charges from a one time up front charge to a unit charge & he claimed this is what caused the miss on earnings. Would you agree with this statement. I question why they wouldn't cancel the div. & thus be able to pay down more than 20 million dollars as reported. Would greatly appreciate your insight.

Q: You recently answered a question on DH's current debt (short and long), outstanding debentures and cash on hand (see below). Where can I find this information on DH and other companies myself? Thank you.

5i Research Answer:
DH has $80 million in current loans, $1.4 billion on long term loans and $428 million in convertible debentures. There is $48 million in cash as well. DH did address the debt, and it is a priory in terms of trying to pay it down as much and as fast as possible.

Q: Thanks for clarifying the debt repayments. I should have also asked what the total debt is now for the company. I know that the company said reducing debt would be a focus for them going forward. Did they speak specifics in their conference and do you consider the repayment schedule to be reasonably aggressive?

Thanks for the insight.

Q: Could you comment on DH's debt position? You reported that they paid down $200m of debt in the last quarter whereas I read elsewhere they paid down $20 million so I am wondering where the typo lies. Given their recurring income streams, I would think paying off $800m of debt annually would leave them in pretty good stead.

Thanks for your help.

Q: As we move into the tax loss selling period, is it not possible (probable?) that DH Corp could take another big hit before year's end? After holding for several years with good initial gains I'm now in the red. Wondering about selling & possibly buying back in January if price action improves... your thoughts? Also not sure what you meant by still an "official" hold for now... sounds like a thinly veiled 'sell'. Many thx for your insights.

Q: There is an article on Bloomberg " Aussie banks 7000 mile Blockchain experiment could change trade " It's worth a read to get a better understanding of the viabiity of blockchain transactions in international trade. I believe DH Corp's relationship with Rabobank and Malauzai is designed to move DH corp into the fintech world, specifically regarding the use of blockchain transactions in international business dealings. What does the 5I team think of this and does DH have the ability to become a significant player in this area?

Q: In the conference call the CEO specifically stated that share buy backs are not being considered. Their three goals for now are 1) investing in the businesses, 2) reducing debt, 3) and supporting the dividend. However they are suspending the DRIP program. What would be the logic for this?
Also, do you know, and would you consider this a management that can be taken at their word? The experience with Wi-Lan and Concordia was not encouraging.
