Q: I believe insiders have been buying TOI around $70 in late December. Based on this, do you think the current $75 price is worth buying ahead of the Feb 7 Q4 earnings announcement?
Organic revenue growth seems to be down in the past year. Would there be a reason for this, and is it a cause for concern?
TOI is said to be the same size as CSU was in 2013/14. Are there some metrics that compare the valuation of TOI today to CSU then?....perhaps Price to Cashflow, or some better comparison? Or is this an apples to oranges comparison because of geographic operational differences?
Q: Hi 5i Team - With Shopify's recent upward momentum, is it now trading at a high multiple. Also do you think that its growth is slowing. In addition I have read that it is trying to be more like Amazon and therefore has to spend a lot more money. Do you feel this statement has any merit. Thanks.
Q: Hi, TFI seems to have made a sharp move up recently and is now at all time highs after being range bound for the last year with a few buying dips sprinkled in. I don’t see any catalyst for this sudden move. No news recently and earnings are not out until Feb 6. I was comfortable buying in the 130’s but not so now. Is there a price range you would be comfortable with? Looking for your opinion. Many thanks.
Q: TFII continues to move in the right direction. What are the big factors that keep the company performing so well? Is there anything that might negatively impact its movement? I have half position and thinking of buying but I am cautious it might fall back. Buy or wait for pull back?
Q: Could you explain the $748.7 million goodwill impairment charge for LSPDs latest results? What is the impact? Where did it come from? And is this the sole reason for the stock being down 7 + percent today (as of 2 and a half hrs after market open) or are there other explanations?
Q: Should one be concerned that Alain Bedard holds all 3 positions of Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer. While one cannot deny that he has been very successful over the years, my concern is about governance. I also wonder about succession plans as this looks like a one man show. Please tell me why this should ( or should not) concern me enough not buy the stock. Thanks. Derek.
Q: Hi
I know that there has been lots of discussion on 5i about the cost base for Topicus when it was spun out from CSU. However, I've reviewed the questions and forums and I'm still confused. TOI has been sold in a non-registered account and now I need to determine the cost base for tax purposes. The brokerage shows $0. Is there a consensus on what the TOI cost base at spin out should be? Thanks for providing some clarity!
Q: A recent article stated that there has been significant insider selling over the past three months and that shareholders have been diluted over the past year. On the other hand earnings are forecast to grow by 68% per year. Could you comment on these statements as well as the status of its balance sheet and strength of management. Thanks.
A question regarding Leons. I have purchased this from as low as $17 to as high as $23. I hold it for income, and growth, with a two year timeline before changing over to a higher yield for income, as my wife and I retire. Would you consider this a hold for income only or would you consider something with a higher yield?
Q: Ytd tsx composite index up 6.79% and tsx industrials up 2.43%
Can you explain why Byd is down .73%?
Would you be a buyer today of Byd for a 5 year hold?
