Investment Q&A

Q: I am investigating CLS as a potential long term investment. In a recent answer to a question, 5i stated that CLS seems to be putting things together much better now. What is CLS putting together much better now, and is it sustainable? How important is AI, to CLS future share price? Could you elaborate on the most major risk to CLS share price? Would you consider CLS a good hold for five plus years?? Thanks for the excellent analysis!

Q: In my previous question I asked for your STN latest Q report evaluation. You stated it is coming but i haven't seen it yet.

Q: KXS is down a lot Thursday morning. Is this an over reaction or is it time to think about reducing position. 5i has been generally quite positive about KXS but I detect the sentiment is shifting. How do you view the stock performing over the short term and long term? What catalysts will influence things?

Q: How do you feel about Kinaxis moving forward after going over their results?

Q: It seems you are optimistic about this company. could you resume the arguments supporting this appreciation? Yhank you very much in advance

Q: Your Feb 22nd answer to Chris was incorrect. That probably was a result of a wrong article in CBC or GLOBE about a dividend cut. It labelled the company as DIR.UN, but in reality the dividend cutter was D.UN.
DIR.UN has not cut - or raised ! - its dividend in the last 10 years.

Q: I have a question about HPS. This is a small company that seems to have recently come on your radar, noting staggering growth in a stable market. With this growth rate it is still small, just cresting the 1B market value recently.
What is making it so successful? It seems like a ‘boring’ low tech company. What is its future expected growth and what is its addressable market?
Any comments would be helpful to understand how electrical infrastructure widgets became such a big new thing.

Q: Good Morning
I have done well with Kinaxis but have become impatient with the returns over the last couple of years. Can you recommend an alternative? I am considering swapping out for TVK and HPS.A.
thank you

Q: Hello,

I own IAG and it recently missed earnings expectations by 5% and, as a consequence, the market reaction was brutally punitive. How can you compare IAG's overall financial strength to larger Canadian Insurers, say IFC and MFC, and are there overall reasons to worry apart from the market's bad quarter reaction ?

Q: I've been mulling over your answer to Ray's question yesterday about DIR.UN. You are always quite positive about it, but having owned it for a number of years, I have to ask myself why I should bother to continue holding on to it. Its share price is where it was 5 years ago. I've looked back 10 years at its distribution and there's been not one single hike. What advantage do you see in continuing to own DIR.UN?

Q: Comments please on the recent quarter from Leons.
Thanks
Rob

Q: Any news for the sell-off over the past couple of days? I could only find a news release re PartnerLink. Your overall view of KXS also appreciated.

Q: Have held KXS for several years.. I’m wanting to replace it with better growth…already hold CSU, TOI, LMN, SHOP, DSG, GSY, WSP…

Q: Buy or Hold or Sell? With a few comments. Thanks. ram

Q: What are your top buys (3) right now if you were investing in a mix of growth, quality, and somewhat reasonable valuation? With your answer/explanation can you include fwd p/e or whatever relevant metrics vs peers?

Also, what's a quality stock or two you'd like to buy but would want to see come down a bit/something you'd be looking to pick up in a broad market selloff?

Q: Wanting to sell one of these to deploy cash to deploy elsewhere. Which of these two has the best pathway forward for a 2 to 3 year hold and which might you recommend to sell and why? Thank you.

Q: I have a position in TOI and with the recent run, have some decent profit. You have mentioned a few times that TOI is expensive. Does it make sense to sell half my position and purchase LMN or do you think there is some positive momentum here and let TOI run a little more?

Q: Hi Team,
This is more of a general comment , discussion on Gsy valuation. Is it just me or the earnings growth this company is putting out in relation to its p/e seems incredibly cheap. Looking at their history , quarter after quarter continues to be record and shows the most stable growth out of any of my holdings on a long term basis. The ceo really seems to know what he’s doing here. I think this should be a $1000 stock within 8-10yrs of growth remains as is and they are given a fair multiple in the market. Am I crazy to think this ? This isn’t even accounting for their new growth initiatives such as the credit cards they are going to probably be rolling out, or expansion into the US. Just looking for your thoughts on this and what might prompt the market to start recognizing the stock fairly in regards to valuation ? Thanks

Q: I am a very patient investor and want to add to my WSP holdings.

What do you think would be a realistic but very favorable price to leave my bid at.

Thanks


Sheldon

Q: I am up about 40% on GSY (thanks 5i). Weighting overall in the portfolio is still okay. At what point would you suggest trimming. Or in other words, where do you think it might be a year from now? Thanks.
