Investment Q&A

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

Q: Two part question, deduct as necessary. Canadian Portfolio slightly tilted towards growth and not needing funds for long time. Looking to add one Industrial name to compliment WSP and PEO (if considered an industrial). Was thinking maybe NFI but would be interested in any other suggestions.

Also looking to add a tech name to compliment KXS, and OTEX. Having a hard time finding something different that could be a core holding for long term, only criteria would be that i am not interested in PHO.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on CAE's earnings ,their debt and growth prospects?

There seems to be a theme regarding the stocks I follow this earning season. Higher valuation stocks (p/e around 20+) when they meet expectations or miss by a little, seem to sell off quite dramatically at first, only the to claw back most of the day's losses. Horrible for anxiety levels. Great for day trading or establishing long term positions though, in my opinion.

Thanks.

Q: Aug 1, 2018 - CAE acquires Alpha-Omega Change Engineering (AOCE)
CAE today announced that CAE USA Mission Solutions Inc., a subsidiary of CAE USA, has acquired Alpha-Omega Change Engineering (AOCE) for approximately US$29 million, excluding post-closing adjustments. The acquisition will enhance CAE USA’s core capabilities as a training systems integrator (TSI), grow CAE’s position on enduring platforms such as fighter aircraft, and expand the ability for CAE USA to pursue higher-level security programs in the United States.

AOCE, based in Williamsburg, Virginia, provides a range of aircrew training services, operational test and evaluation, and engineering support services to the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. intelligence services.

Would you please provide your opinion of this acquisition by CAE and what is their competition in the Defense Sector?
Thanks
