Q: Hi 5i Team, I already have a full position with Ray/A.TO holding it for a year now, recently it had a breakout at SP $7.27 (increased holding from 5% to 10%) my technical indicator shows a price objective around sub 9.00 which gives a 25% move. Needed your fundamental input to its upcoming earning expectation, debt and business prospects post covid...Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team
Canadian Utilities (CU) has announced a $0.0044 (1.010565 %) increase in the quarterly dividend, continuing CU 49 year dividend increase streak.

1 – Why do companies increase dividends by “oddball” amounts, in this particular case why would CU not increased the quarterly dividend from $0.4354 to $0.4400 (instead of $0.4398) which would increase the total annual dividends by approximately $218,000 on total annual dividends of $475M.

2 – Is this a sign the board increased the dividend a “token” amount to maintain their 49 year history of increased dividend and that CU is facing stagnant growth in their business (which is not surprising given the majority of their business is Alberta based)?

3 – CU increased their dividend by 1 % and ATCO (which holds 52.2 % of CU) increased their dividend by 3.1 %. Does this make ATCO a better investment, given ATCO’s other divisions (Structures & Logistics and Neltume Ports) are providing better growth, leading to a higher increasing dividend rate, although a lower overall yield?

Thank you

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! I am thinking of adding more dividend players to my tech heavy TFSA, just to start balancing things out a bit. I was thinking of adding Manulife and Atco...they seem cheaper, have some growth prospects and raise their dividends yearly ( though albeit, manulife ran into some problems a while back. ) Are my proposed additions decent selections? Cheers, Tamara

Q: Hi 5i,

Currently I have owned the above stocks SU and ENB for around half years.
I have heard the news regarding for the cancellation the Keystone XL pipeline from Biden's campaign. Actually, do you think there will be a negative impact for the above stocks in coming future? Any possible negative impact in coming future for the oil sector if the new US government, would you please kindly advise. Many thanks.

Thanks & Regards.

Q: Hello, I am currently rebalancing my portfolio and would like to exit a position in Financials to increase in other underallocated sectors. To help with my research, how would you rank MFC and GWO for a longer term hold (e.g. RRSP) and any other attributes/parameters that are important to look at?

Thanks for all you do?

Q: You answer by pervious question on BEP.UN that the div is .28933 per mo. My numbers show that a $10000.00 investment @ 57.35 equals 174 shares times .28933 =$50.34 per qt. American Four payments a year = $201.37 per year times 1.30=2.62%yield. Where am I wrong??? Thanks Ken

Q: With Biden to sign XL ppl stoppage, which companies should I stay away from or does someone like ENB benefit?What do you see as the fallout from this?
