Q: Hi 5i team,

I'm confused about PRL's dividend sustainability due to negative free cash flow (−$57M in 2024 and −$3.7M in Q2 2025) and high leverage (112% D/E). Your March 2024 report assigned a B+ rating and positive outlook might be because of strong revenue growth (38.68%) and high ROI (30.33%), but didn’t address these cash flow issues. What am I missing? Is there something in their business model or cash flow timing that supports dividend sustainability?

Best,
Matt

Q: Some of my favourite smaller cap stocks. Would appreciate a ranking on 2 fronts. First, please rank from 1 to 12 for the upside potential for the stock price over the next 5 years. Second, please rank from 1 to 12 the downside risk for the stock price over the same time frame. Understood that all are higher than average risk.

Q: Hi Team,
I hold a heavy position in Gsy and Prl both. I do not own any Hood yet. I was debating trimming some Prl to take a position in Hood. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you see the Hood share price outperforming Prl in the next while and long term? Or…is Hood and the whole crypto sector a little over heated right now and might I be better waiting for a pullback before buying Hood?

Thanks,
Shane

Q: Hi, all of these stocks look quite over-valued. Please rank them in order of which ones you might start nibbling on, along with general entry prices. I know you don't like to time the market, but there may very well be dips coming up! Thank you.

Q: With Go Easy showing a lower PE and better momentum than Propel after earnings, which of these two do you think looks better going forward? If an investor owned only PRL, would it make sense to switch to GSY?

Q: Since 2021, I've owned Boyd Group Services shares, but I'm now exploring selling them to pursue investments with greater upside over the next five years. My current thinking is to allocate funds to two high-growth companies. I've been looking at Kraken Robotics, Zedcor, and Propel Holdings. I'd appreciate your insights on these, and I'm very open to alternative suggestions, including opportunities in the US market across small, mid, and large cap companies. Thank you.

Q: GSY went from a darling to relatively flat, while PRL continues on a tear. Do you still recommend GSY with the same enthusiasm/do you expect it to resume its upward path, and would you advise PRL instead at this point?

Thank you,

Peter

Q: " I am increasingly interested in shifting from US to Canadian growth stocks and have been looking a little closer at the 5i growth portfolio as a result. I recently acquired a position in PNG.V and am actively looking for another great Canadian growth story. Could you comment on the company (or companies) you would recommend from your growth portfolio that would be the best bets to put new money to work in the current environment?"

Q: hello 5i:
IF you were running a balanced portfolio, and IF you could only buy one of the two names listed, which would it be, and why? I suppose another way of asking this, is which of the two would fit best in a risk/reward situation.
thanks
