  5. ARE: I bought Aecon at $10. [Aecon Group Inc.]

Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I bought Aecon at $10.78 last year when the price dropped, offering an attractive dividend yield of almost 7%. I purchased it solely for its dividend, as part of my dividend portfolio, and did not expect much in terms of growth. Unexpectedly, to my surprise, it has become the best-performing stock in my portfolio. With the recent dividend increase, the yield now surpasses 7%. Historically, this stock has been quite volatile, with performance fluctuating. My question is: should I hold onto this dividend stock and overlook the 163% capital gain, or consider selling it and reinvesting in other dividend stocks? What is the potential here? If it reverts to its historical performance, would it be better to sell and buy other dividend stocks? Thank you for your insight.
