Q: With regards to EFN.TO. It was extremely volatile on Monday, Feb. 3, 2025 when the US tariffs were due to be implemented against Canada. It looks like EFN price dropped as much as 12% compared to it's previous Friday close but it seem to recover and ended up with a drop of 1%. Can you please give your take on this behaviour and what entry price might be reasonable considering the tariff climate (or wait). Many thanks.
5i Research Answer:
Its action was a bit more than most, but it was an extreme day with tariff flip flops throughout the day. Many stocks saw wild swings. We would not really consider it a deciding factor at all. The stock is up 27% in the past year though down a bit since the US election. It reports earnings Feb 26, before the next tariff 'deadline'. So earnings may be the more important factor if buying in the next month. We think $26 would be attractive, barring any other news.
