Investment Q&A

Q: We have a balanced portfolio with a growth tilt. Current Industrial sector stocks held and their percentage in total portfolio are:
CAE-1.7%, WSP-4.9%, AC-1.9%, XBC-1.3%, XYL-1.9%, MRS-0.3% and etf CWW-2.5%.
Have some cash to add and have been looking at ATA or TFII or topping up one or more existing holdings. Dividend not necessary. Would appreciate your thoughts and/or alternative suggestions.
Many thanks as always.

Q: Why after a solid earnings report (from what I interpret) was there a significant drop in share price this morning ? Many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i, pls provide your comments on Q3 earnings, and future outlook.

Thx.

Q: I was hoping to add TFII to my industrial holdings (currently hold CP & CNR) and was waiting for a pullback which doesn't seem to ever arrive.

Do you think at these prices that entering into a full position now (5% of my equity portfolio) of TFII would be silly.

Thanks.

Q: What is your opinion on the activist investor situation at CNR? I remember when this happened with CP a few years ago. Even though I never bought in, the stock did very well in the years following Hunter Harrison being appointed CEO.

I'm asking because I am currently light in industrials, I have postions in TT, WSP, TFI, XYL. I was considering a position in CNR for my RRSP.

Q: People seem to have varied views concerning the causes of the supply chain disruptions including covid, lack of longshoremen, lack of truck drivers, etc. Do you see any companies benefiting from this; perhaps on the transportation side such as CNR, TFII, or CJT ? Or any other industries?
Thanks for your insights.

Q: Top 10 CAD Dividend Growth picks for RESP? 15 year time horizon.

If you have a link to such a portfolio would be happy to see.

Q: 1. I hold some TFII and would like to have your outlook and the future growth of the company

2. Can I get your order of preference between IIP.UN, CAR.UN and TCN and how do you see them going forward. Both IIP.UN and CAR.UN have been trending sideways for some time now .

Thank you

Q: Would you foresee any specific potential drivers for upside (looking for total return/compounding growth rather than specific dividend income) in one of these transportation companies over the other? I am trying to decide between them for a position in a long term hold RRSP portfolio. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5iresearch team
Can you please recommend 3 Canadian stocks for each of the industrial and healthcare sectors that you think will perform well in 2022?
Dividends is a bonus but not a must.
Thanks a lot for the great service.

Q: Hey I have enough money to start a new position. Was wondering what between these two companies which you prefer?

Thanks!

Q: Morning Peter & Team,

I know your long term outlook for CAE is positive. Have held it for some time and although technically it has shown higher lows and high highs over the past year, gains in the last 10 months have been moderate. Especially when compared to some of it's industrial sector piers such as ATA & TFII the later of which has a dividend as well.

I am thinking of switching up to one of your other (previous) recommendations. Would you consider this a good idea? Or would you suggest I continue with my patient hold of CAE?

Thanks for all you do.

Q: In my previous question answered today I was asking for suggestions for techs AND Industrials to add to for proper divesification. Unfortunately the Industrials was not answered. Thank you.

Q: What stocks in Canada do you believe will do well with the passing of the Infrastructure Bill and Reconciliation Bill in the USA? Please list in order of preference. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Nice report on AND. Just wondering if TFII operates in the same space. We've done very well with TFII (thanks, 5i) but are a bit low in Healthcare. AND looks promising, but want to make sure that it's complementary to TFII.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: I have enough money to top up one of my positions and bring it closer to 5%. These are the candidates. I am diversified, but maybe a little tech heavy. I have Topicus at 5% All are in my TFSA, so a growth tilt is appropriate. But I'm stuck in analysis paralysis. Does any one of these jump out at this time as a particularly good candidate to top up. I know you like them all, so I guess it is a bit like picking your favourite child. But go ahead and pick. Your insight will be appreciated, and much better than me flipping a coin.

Q: Earlier this year we created an equal weighted 'balanced' portfolio of 30 Canadian companies in a non-registered account. Most were chosen from companies either covered by a 5i research report or included in a 5i model portfolio. The remainder were chosen, based on the 5i Q&A section, from what appear to be 5i sector favourites. All purchases in the portfolio are made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

Our intent is to increase our investments in the 30 companies over time. We have recently increased our positions in BIPC and MG. At this time we would like to increase our investments in 10 of the remaining 28 companies. The intent is to increase the remaining 18 in approximately 6 months. Which 10 would you add to today? Please rank them, include a small blurb explaining each choice and indicate an approximate buy price. Thanks!

Q: Based on the companies contained in the two portfolios above, which of them are you most impressed with, having gone thru the pandemic, which would lead you to expect even better results as the economy moves past the stimulus provided by the feds?
