Q: Would you consider Capital Power on a list of halo stocks and powering AI? Or was it excluded purposely? I mainly mention this because I thought previously they had been tied to natural gas powered AI data centre's in Alberta? Disclosure: I own it but am very open to upgrading to something materially better in that sector.

Q: I am assuming CPX was down Friday on heavy volume in response to Trump’s initiative to impose a cap on residential price increases, and require tech companies to pay for their own power centers . There was a concurrent selloff in independent US listed power companies as well.
How much exposure to the US market does CPX have?

Q: Hello 5i,

I am looking to add one name to my income portfolio and the names mentioned above come to mind.
I own TD, ENB and FTS, so have a representation in the sectors. I would like a high dividend (who doesn't) and a dividend grower too.
Would you have a favorite amongst these or would prefer another name?
Regards

Q: I am looking for a position in my income portfolio and would like to choose from CPX, CM and TD.
It would seem that Canada is heading into a recession and that would affect the bank earnings, more significantly CIBC than the others.
CPX on the other hand has missed earnings, maintained guidance and has dropped and likely to recover?
Which one would you choose to add?
Regards
Rajiv
