Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,

What is the reason for sharp drop in Slf? Is this a buying opportunity? Thanks.

Q: I am overweight in FTS and wish to reduce it and diversify into H or another utility. Do you think that H would be impacted if Ontario decides to retaliate to US tariffs by cutting off US electricity? Is there another utility company that you prefer? I already own some EMA.

Q: Your thoughts please on the quarter?Thx

Q: TMX Group has been consistently producing great results, for several quarters, coupled with dividend increases. But, its share price does not seem to be able to rise past $57-$58 level, even with most analysts revising their estimates and price targets, higher.

Is this price action consistent with its historical pattern, or we are missing something ?

Do you continue to like to own the stock for Income and Growth, over next several years ?

Thank You

Q: P&C insurance sector has shown signs of weakness, over past several weeks, perhaps due to higher catastrophic losses and pressure on auto premiums. Intact Financial stock has also not been immune and has seen its stock decline over 10% from its recent high of $317. Latest earnings release disclosed weakness in commercial lines, in addition to premiums rates in US.

IFC has been a long time favorite of 5i and stock has performed well, barring the recent softness.

Question is that after 2-3 years of strong performance by P&C sector, do you believe the present weakness to be simply transitionary or it is indicative of a reversal/change of direction in the industry fortunes. And if it is even partly true or possible, how is IFC positioned to protect its business model and revenue/profitability for shareholders ?

The follow up question is that considering these factors, does IFC continue to still present itself as compelling opportunity for a long term investor, as a core position in the portfolio, ignoring everything else as noise ?

Thank You

Q: LYB has a pretty high divi but Results of late seem challenged.

In the hi 40s is this a good investment based on historical share price levels or would I just be gambling on a cyclical likely to continue to decline in price with the potential of a divi cut?

Q: Hello 5i,
I am curious as to whether or not both of these could be owned or if there is too much overlap. Do you have a strong preference for one over the other? Finally, do you consider one of these to be "safer" than the other?
Many thanks!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: please comment on the first q results. Thanks

Q: how do you expect BIP to perform, now that we have more clarity (maybe) on tariffs ?
Both div at this level and share price not drifting any lower

I want to build a position in it as a "retirement" stock.
I have BIP.UN and BEP.UN at 3% each.

What are your fav options in this category currently?

Regards,
JR

Q: What are your thoughts on BIPC earnings. Please advise if I should add on weakness today or what price do you consider as great buy.

Thanks for the great service

Q: May I have your comments on earnings please.

Q: The current dividend yield on Telus is close to 7.75% at the market close Aug 1. High dividend yield is a red flag. Is this dividend sustainable? Is it a red flag and if so why?
Is it following a similar path as BCE?

Q: What is the estimated quarter outlook for this stock and do you see gains over the next 2 years. Cheers

Q: Could you please explain the inter-relationship between these two stocks? I realize one is incorporated etc but I am interested in their holdings, especially because 1. BEPC is outperforming and 2. There are large US contracts that are shaping their business. It was my understanding that each had their own different contracts but they were essentially the same company at a high level. Are they impacted differently by their contracts with Google and Microsoft or will they both benefit equally? Are their operational strategies any different?
Thanks.

Q: I know you like this name but Im wondering if its overbought at these levels. Buy now or wait for a downturn later?

Q: What are your top 10 Canadian dividend paying stocks or etf greater than 5%.

Q: What are your top highest conviction stocks right now for compound growth over next five years?

Q: Hello,

Q: Any reason for the dramatic price drop today?
