Q: Hello, Stantec stock has seen good momentum and jumped from $79 to over $83, since, Friday, last week. Are you aware of any specific developments, or it's part of the relief rally in the infrastructure sector, after passing of Debt Ceiling bill in US. I am aware that Stifel bumped STN price target to $93 from $86, on Monday. Is it worth increasing our present 1.5% weighting in STN ( we are underweight in Industrials ) and if so, what will be a reasonable price level to add ? Or, it's prudent to wait for the stock to settle back to $78-79 level ? Thank You

Q: Hello, With reference to your Model Portfolio changes to trim Stantec's present 2.5% weight to 2%, in Growth portfolio ( start price $68 - current price $77.50), could you elaborate on the rationale, a little more, for a better understanding. If the valuation is stretched, is the current price is expensive, in your opinion ? Also. generally, if you like a company and the sector, the model portfolio will hold a position 2.5-3.5% or higher.
We have noted your recent comments on this company and, decided to initiate a 1.5% position at $78, after the recent pullback, following company's results. We had no infrastructure/consultancy exposure before in our portfolios and have been low on industrial sector Just wondering, if our move makes sense.
Thank You

Q: An analyst on BNN said today that he feels Stantec's share price could double in the next 5 years, as they do a lot of business in the USA, which is spending a lot on infrastructure improvements, which should benefit Stantec. He felt their headcount in 5 years could be roughly where WSP Global's headcount is now, with some of the growth coming from acquisitions. Wondering what you think of Stantec's growth potential over the next 5 years, and also about their debt levels. Looking at the balance sheet, the debt to cash flow looks a little high.
Q: Hello, Both these companies reported solid results, after market yesterday, but their stock is dropping today. What would be a decent price to start a new position ? Thank You
Q: does the STN decent report this quarter give you some comfort on WSP result to be released tonight? Or are they very different "animals"?
Q: can you suggest some good CAD and US listed stocks that have good exposure to the water theme that I can do some further research on. It seems water is a very precious commodity with our changing climate issues.

Q: These 4 securities represent my industrials holdings. I wish to add to this sector and would appreciate if you can suggest another company that would be a great complement to this group. Alternatively, would you suggest simply adding to the existing holdings and if yes, in what order would you add? Thank you.
Q: Haven't seen a question on this since 01/23. Why the nice rise this week?

Q: What do you think of STN these days?
Q: I have been holding STN for a number of years. It underperformed WSP in last 5 years by large margin, but started catching up in last 3 years. In recent stock market correction, STN dropped much less than WSP. STN is still above 200 day average while WSP is currently below 200 day average. Year to today WSP also underperformed STN. What is your view of STN and WSP going forward from here in terms of future growth? If just to own one name between them, which one would you pick? Alternatively, should I catch this opportunity to switch to WSP?
Thanks,

Q: With all the infrastructure work coming up the first two look like a coin toss to me. I know you like WSP and J but STN has had a good 2021 run and looks strong. Do you have any issues with STN vrs WSP?
