Q: Hi Peter

I was wondering what you think of the valuation of WSP vs peers. Can you provide your metric to rate and the current valuation. Also would you buy at this level or what price level would you begin to buy. To me it looks expensive. I would appreciate your expert opinion.

Thank you

Q: Engineering stocks, specially WSP, have lagged the market this year, despite lot of positive news around data centres build and Canadian government spend plans on infrastructure projects. WSP actually is trading near its 52 weeks low.

Unless there is a solid catalyst to lift the stock over next 6-12 months, would it make sense to step aside and assign these funds elsewhere like financials ( Canadian banks ) or other industrials ( US aerospace) or even Tech ( CLS ), where there is better momentum and more visibility ?

Thank You

Q: How would you define a "core holding" in a portfolio? The above listed companies I consider to be core holdings. Does this list broadly match your definition of what type of companies should make up core holdings in a portfolio? Are there names in that list that you would NOT consider to be "core holdings"?
Thank you for your work and please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Q: Similarly to the question asked by David regarding your Income portfolio, for B-E portfolio, what would be your top 10 stocks in the order you would buy. Based on anticipated total return (dividends + stock price increase) for the next five years expectations. I would also appreciate if you could add to these stocks your return expectations and risk ratios on the scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest. Thanks.

Q: Looking at the question by Michael on Jacobs today I see a company having 2026 net revenue growth of 6-10 % but a PE of 54 ! Sure it’s a fine company in a good sector but does it really deserve a PE of 54 ? Other solid companies in Canada with historically high PE ‘s such as TRI , WSP , and FSV etc., seem to be going through a valuation revision downward. The question is will the revised valuation remain or will the premium valuation return ? Your thoughts. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Dear 5i team,
I have been a WSP shareholder for over five years. During this time, the share price has sometimes fallen, but my patience has always been rewarded. I am struggling to understand the recent drop in the share price. I believe the Q3 results were solid. I note that competitors in the sector, such as Stantec and Atkins, are also experiencing declines…
Could you explain recent WSP's decline? What is your view on the future of the stock, and if you are confortable to continue holding?

Thank you.

Q: WSP, WCN and X have been trending down in the last few months. What do you see the future growth for these companies in the next 5 years? Are these good entry points or should it be a hold?

Q: The above stocks make up 80.4% of my holdings. Goog and BN @7% each. The next 5 @ 4% each and the rest at or close to 3% each. For a 10 year horizon, with risk/reward in mind, where would you invest if you had 10% of the portfolio in dry powder- new cash. Any you would sell? Note, I have been trimming CLS, VRT and NBIS to control AI exposure.

Thanks again for all the insights - love the service you provide.

Q: WSP Global stock has grossly underperformed its Canadian peers STN and ATRL over 5 Yrs, 1 yr and YTD. ( 1 Yr: 7% v/s 34% ). And the pattern does not appear to change, even after recent earnings. We know that WSP has been held in 5i portfolios for many years and consistently recommended.

Could you please help us understand the reasons for the disparity and rationale to continue to own the stock vis a vis switching to any of the other two ?

BTW: From a technical perspective, stock seems to have lost its momentum and now trading below its 200 Day MA.

Thank You
