Q: Last question on these two companies as late December, and I am interested if your take has changed. I just sold CAT, and am looking at repositioning into one of the maintainers of its equipment; largely to get out of the $US and potential risks to CAT of Trump policies.

What is your take on these 2 companies and which would come out ahead for an investment now?

Q: Could you please provide your analysis of Caterplillar. Do you like it and believe that this stock can continue to outperform the broader market after a huge run in 2025, being the Best stock in DOW ?

We already own Finning International, having taken a 4% position, just before recent quarterly results.

Could you contrast the two companies from stability/growth/valuation perspective ?

Does it make sense to own both and if so, what would be a reasonable combined weighting for a Balanced like portfolio ?

Thank You

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
Like the momentum of both companies. Like the strong net cash position of TIH.
Which one would you pick of the 2 for the potential highest return over the next 5 years?
Is it FTT based on 5i starting a new position in your Balanced Portfolio? Or is it a coin toss?

Q: Not much has been asked about this Co, lately. What do you think of Finning International, being the largest global distributor of Caterpillar products ? There seems to be a tailwind developing with expanding need for heavy equipment/machinery, based on copper/precious metal mining and infrastructure/data centres spending.

Do you like the Co, its growth prospects and valuation ? Any negatives ?

Would you be comfortable buying a full/partial position, before earnings which are due Nov 11 ?

What are the street estimates ?

Thank You

Q: Would you please compare these 3 stocks using your usual metrics and determine which one you would recommend for a tfsa for a 3 to 4 year hold and perhaps an entry price? Thank you.

Q: As they are both Caterpillar dealers serving different geographical areas, do you ever see these companies merging into one? Would a merger not create cost savings via synergies, increased capital pool etc for expansion and growth etc ultimately benefiting the shareholders of the combined company. . Thanks for the great service you provide.
