Q: Hi 5i,
I know that speculating on takeovers is not something you advocate but do you think Covalon may be heading for a buyout? The recently announced licensing agreement with “a large global medical company” reminds me of the deal that Pure signed with Xylem, leading to the takeout of Pure less than a year (I think) later. It looks like a ‘test drive’ of marketing COV’s product and services suite. If the larger company becomes convinced it can sell the product, preserve the margins, and scale that across a larger market, a buyout is a likely next step, isn’t it? Plus, the described global medical company is presumably not Canada-based. For a non-Canadian acquirer, the perceived Saudi-Canada relations risk would likely be a non-issue. Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Team. My understanding is that there are 2 significant issues here. US tariffs, and recent miss on performance. I've just recently started managing my own rsp, I'm finding mg to be the toughest decision I've had to make so far. I read that the stock could drop by as much as 30% if the tariffs go through. I've read mostly positive feedback from 5i on MG. Can you help quantify the risk over the next 2 months to a year?
Thanks

Q: I had just recently bought this company in my TFSA prior to the 2nd quarter earnings report, and the stock has dropped over 25% since my initial purchase. It would seem that 5i still likes the company do you consider the market reaction overblown, would you consider averaging down with this company or would you hold the position for the longer term.
Thanks Tom

Q: With regards to Covalon and their contract with Saudi Arabia. They have stated that the current diplomatic squabble does not effect their business. Are you aware of any terms of the contract and/or delivery of product or payment schedule that has or is scheduled to happen? I'm just trying to determine if despite the rhetoric it's not effecting or delaying the terms of the contract.
