Q: Can you provide your 5 top Canadian growth companies (in order) along with where (price) you think they might be a year from now and 2 years from now. For each one, please provide a quick note on what makes each company so compelling and rate each with a confidence indicator (10 highest). I understand these are your best assessments of things at this time.

Q: On Jan 19, in a question by David, you stated that both DSG and OTEX did not have a dividend. Globe & Mail has that OTEX does have a dividend. Please advise if you need to correct your response. G&M advised "OpenText Corp. OTEX-T has named former IBM executive Ayman Antoun as chief executive, effective April 20. 2026" Is this a good move by OTEX? Does it change your impression of potential of OTEX?

Q: Based on your recent comments, after a near 50 % drawdown from its peak, CSU stock should find a bottom soon. Could you please take a look at the price action, volume and technicals, during this week's trading, specially, last 3 days, if it confirms your assessment and would you recommend adding at current levels.

Thank You

Q: Mark Carney made quite the splash with his recent speech. He seemed to be saying the old economic system is broken and will not return. (we can no longer depend on the world's super powers to play by the old rules.) If he is right (I think he is) what 3 Canadian companies could benefit the most from this new reality? Also, this new paradigm being global, what three global ETFs could benefit the most? Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: Hello 5i team,
In several recent reports you recommended selling the full position in CPD, noting “better opportunities.” I also noticed that CVD and MFT were removed from your model portfolios earlier.
Given this shift away from preferred-share ETFs, do you think a combination of ZWU, ENCC, ZWB, and HTA would serve as a reasonably balanced substitute for a moderate‑risk, slightly income‑oriented allocation? Or would you suggest broader diversification?
Thank you for your insights!

Q: Analysts’ FY2026 Estimate for CSU earnings is approx. $160, according to your own research page, as well as some other sources I looked at. Is this USD or CDN?
Also, I note that in Q3 2025 CSU reported less than $10USD/sh,
according to their own press release.
How does one make sense of these numbers?
Is the $160 estimate for 2026 actually free cash flow available to shareholders, rather than earnings?

Q: Hi,
I am interested in starting positions in CLS, ZDC and GRID. Do you think their current prices are a good entry point? And for CLS, I see they are expected to report earnings at the end of the month. Would it be wise to wait for that?
Thanks
