Q: Hello 5i Team

With the buyout of LB at $40.50, which will occur Q3 2026 and current share price around $39.90, is it better to sell or to wait out the nine months to closing and collect 3 x $0.47 dividend plus sale price equal to $41.91.

Second, if I was to sell today, which would be the best purchase:

EQB
GSY
PRL

or allocate one third of the sales proceeds to each?

Thanks for great services 5i provides.

Q: I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?

Q: Thank you for the recent flash update on several companies that have experienced a large decline in the last few months. Your reports reaffirmed the solid foundation of these companies. Also nice to see a bit of a bounce upward of these companies,
Thanks Stephen

Q: Hi 5i Team - I am having some difficulty deciding whether to sell or hold onto my shares of Propel. Could you summarize the reasons for its decline as well as the potential for recovery over both the next year and longer term. Do you have confidence in the ability of management to do this. There are certainly many developing opportunities in other companies to use the money if I were to sell. Thanks.

Q: If you held GSY and PRL in a taxable account and were down about 35% on each. Would you sell to claim the tax loss and buy back a month later? Or if there a decent risk of either going up in the next month? Thx

Q: Good day everyone
I would like to know in which order would you buy today from (CLS, PNG, CSU, LMN, GLXY, GSY, PRL, MDA, GRID, VHI, HPS.A, BN, X, TRI, SHOP, DSG).
Also please included a buyable rating for each from 10 down to 1 with 10 being a great buy and 1 not at this time.
Thank you very much

Q: Would you endorse a swtich from PRL and WELL to PNG and GRID in a TFSA at this time?
Read Answer Asked by Andrew on November 17, 2025
Q: Hi Team,
Given the better momentum in PNG, would you advocate a switch, or partial switch from PRL to PNG? Currently I hold almost twice as much PRL compared to PNG. Also, when is PNG set to report? And given the reactions in this quarters earnings season is it too risky to buy more PNG ahead of quarterly results?

Shane.

Q: A number of your past favourites have been beaten up over the last few weeks. Is there any that you would sell and move on from? Are there any of these companies that you would be buying or adding to at these levels?

Thanks

Q: Hi there,

Can you give me a 1 (low)-10 (high) ranking on these as to which you BUY/ADD right now for a 3-5 year horizon?

I know you’re not big fans of averaging down but are there any of these that you’d look at if you bought at higher prices?


Thanks.
