Investment Q&A

Q: I have some funds available to add to one or two of the stated holdings. What looks best at this time?
Much appreciated. RAM

Q: hi guys,

wondering if i could get your comments on the earnings reported by the noted companies. deduct necessary credits for question on multiple companies if needed. thanks.

Q: I joined 5i a year ago.

One of my first transitions was to purchase AIF (Altus) it has been on a toboggan run since. You recommended selling last quarter. I wanted to give it one more quarter as past earnings appear stronger in third and fourth quarter. With yet another miss it is time to move on. My Canadian holdings look much like our flag - red and white with no green. Patience is waning here.

I hold the following 5i recommendations:
AIF, ATD.B, ATA, GC, SLF, VB, GUD, CSU, KXS, SIS, MX, PHO, TOY, RHT (yes still could not get out fast enough), TSGI, COV

Also own XIT, XEG, PXT, TD, BAM.A, KL

I am considering replacing AIF with CAE, WSP, TFII or another recommendation?

This is in a registered account 5 - 7 year time to use horizon.

Q: Can you please comment on their earnings, Would you buy at this price drop?

Q: What were the main factors that drove TSGI's stock price from April to its high in June? And what has now been the main reason for its decline? Has anything fundamentally changed? I see that Poker, its largest revenue source actually declined in comparison to Q3 2017. Is this a big concern, or is most of it's expected growth to come from gaming/betting? Is there hope that when/if most States legalize online gambling that TSGI will earn more much revenue from this?

Q: I have a question about 1021

Would you kindly comment on the earnings for Toromont on Monday? Any reason Toromont is not in your portfolios? It seems that in this case and others like even Apple the markets are punishing stocks for missing on any front even though the earnings per share is a beat. Would you also comment on this in relation to current market sentiment? Thanks for your great service, Bryan

Q: For the most part off the top of your head, can you provide a list of highly regarded Canadian companies with oversized eps growth expected from 2018 to 2019.

A few to get us started, in my opinion, include...
WSP - 2018 eps = $3.11; 2019 eps = $3.79; 22% eps growth
PBH - 2018 eps = $4.08; 2019 eps = $5.34; 31% eps growth
PKI - 2018 eps = $1.56; 2019 eps = $2.69; 72% eps growth
KXS - 2018 eps = $0.99; 2019 eps = $1.34; 34% eps growth

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i research team,
In your recent report update on BOS, you mentioned the need for a catalyst as their house is pretty much in order (balance sheet, operating systems, management). I am wondering what it could be? #1 Revenue growth: BOS only made few acquisitions in the past 20 years, so it would be a surprise; and in the current state of world growth (probably slightly decreasing at best), BOS would need to enter a new related line (from their current activities) of business: any ideas? #2 Dividend growth and share buybacks: what size of increase or program would be needed to represent a catalyst? When would the balance sheet be ready (size of debt?) for such moves? #3 Privatization of the company: insiders own 41%: looking at insiders could they be buyers or sellers? Do you see this possibility in the next 5 years? #4 Could BOS be on its way to become a value trap? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric
