Q: Just curious as to why Stantec's March 31st, 2015 dividend is ineligible? Is it normal for companies to periodically make a dividend ineligible?
Q: What is you opinion of Stantec at the present time and for the next year or two? Also, do you still favour WSP Global over STN?
Q: Do you know why the 4% increase in price of Stantec today?
Q: STN is a company highly rated by 5i. What do you make of its recent acquisitions? The company's SP has been dormant for sometime and there is no sign of life in sight. I like to take a position but is concerned that it may be dead money for quite awhile yet.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i. Would this stock be a good time to buy, also in the Stock Charts its a 3 box reversal, what does it mean. Thanks Gene.
Q: Is Stantec STN a screaming buy, or what? It has not traded this deeply below the 200 day moving average since 2008. The last time it fell below the 200 dma was July 2012. It is at the bottom of its trading range. The markets are heating up. The last few trading days STN has been up on the technical indicators. And it is one of the rare A-rated companies. How badly can we do buying STN at this time?
Q: I have 1/2 a position in Stantec at $31 - now that its nearing its 52 week low, would you add to this or buy WSP? Thanks!
Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Question 1: I've been holding STN for about a year to watch it hibernate (long winter of discontent) while WSP seems to be the flavour of 2015 (investors seem to like its recent acquisitions sending the RSI way up in the overbought stratosphere); your thoughts please.
Question 2: I have lumped BIN, BIP.UN, CCL, CNR and STN in the Industrial, Transports, Infrastructure sector and CHE.UN, IFP and SJ in the Materials sector; is it reasonable?
Thanks for your A+ service

THANK YOU!

Q: I know that you like Stantec as a good, solid performer. I own both Stantec and WSP Global, 4% each. My other holding in industrials is CNR, at 8%. (it's grown nicely and am loathe to part with it yet.) My question is: how do you think Industrials will perform in this environment. Seems like Stantec has been taking a rest for a while. I was thinking of switching Stantec for CGI group, which would increase my holdings in Technology to about 19%. I'm looking for a good company with a bit more "ooomph" in it right now, regardless of sector, but CGI's growth appeals to me. Your comments are always valued.
Q: Hi Peter and the team,
I acquired stn in middle of 2013 which did well in that year, then it stayed flat in 2014. Recently, it goes in opposite way from TSX like today for example. Anything wrong with this name? Should I sell it and move on to other name? Do their projects involve with energy related business? Their debt level is about 22.5% to their capital (based on data posted by TD water house), which is low comparing with their peers such as SNC. What is your view of this company this year?

Q: STN has averaged 17% for last 10 yrs (source: G&M). Total 10 yr. is ~410% - nearly all of this was made in a parabolic move of ~1 ½ yrs starting in mid-2012. Since Sept it has dropped like a rock. Do you suspect it will continue falling this year? (I am interested in growth stocks). Thanks.
Q: Stantec is almost at it's annual low. Do you think this is warranted, or rather an opportunity to purchase at these levels? or wait for it to plunge further?
PS I assume you still see it as a long term hold.

Q: Of all the A-B companies you cover, could you indicate one or two in each rating category (A, A-, B+, B) that you consider to be the best "bargains" at this point. By best bargain, I mean considering risk/reward profile, you look at the share price and say, "Wow, I can't believe that this stock is trading at that low price." (I'm guessing: (A: Stantec), (A-: BNS), (B+: GIL or BAD?), and (B: NAL or ACQ?) What say you? Others?
Also, if possible, of all companies at any rating level (A to B-) on your "watch list," could you indicate one or two similar bargain companies? Energy sector included.
Thank you,
Cheers

Q: Hello Peter and team, I have some money available to invest for a longish term (5 years+). Can you suggest around four names to add to a diversified portfolio, in particular companies that you think may currently be at unduly low prices due to tax loss selling and other year-end positionings. Stantec and Surge come to my mind. Would you agree, and if so can you please also suggest two or three others (though no more in the Oils; I'm already quite full there). Also, I've separately wondered about acquiring a foreign stock like Nestle. Do you know if/how I can acquire that in my self-directed RRSP? Thanks in advance!
Q: Considering adding to Stantec after recent 15% pull-back from Sept. highs. Your most recent comments suggested recent performance could be result of sector rotation. Wondering if STN does significant amount of work in energy area and if this could be contributing factor in recent decline?
