Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: There was a report today on BNN about fraud in the automobile body shop business. It was admittedly a very limited 'sting' operation by Aviva but a disconcerting one nonetheless. I could not find any further detail on the Aviva website as to the body shops involved and I was wondering if you could find this information and, more specifically, whether any of them are part of the Boyd Group operation?

Q: I read the news release and liked their last Quarter also. However the outlook has me considering selling this stock on valuation versus go-forward growth potential.

From the outlook: "they expect gross product sales to be in the mid to high single digits in the next year ". So they now expect growth going forward to be less than 10%? This is a company that has been growing revenues of over 30% and I expected that they still had enough new regions to grow into to keep revenue growth high.

So if they now expect growth to be less than 10% per annum, can we assume they are transitioning from a growth company to a more stable income generating company? Nothing wrong with this of course, but it does then bring into question the current valuation: at about $1/share in earnings the current PE is about 60. If growth is 10% wouldn't a PEG of 6 be considered very high, even for a high quality company?

Q: Hi 5i,

I am so pleased with your service and of course, a rating system which directed me to invest in CSU.

The equity continues to rise to new all time highs. I am NOT complaining, but there must be some point at which it is overvalued and you would, I assume, reduce your rating. Or, could it move to 900, 1,300, 8,000, 1,000,000 on us. Not to be to far out with my question, but are there limits to growth with CSU ?
