Investment Q&A

Q: I just sold DXCM and am looking for a replacement in the healthcare sector. I've either owned (ISRG, MASI) or watched (DHR) for years, but currently do not own any of these. From my end, they all look like good choices, which would be your preference and why?

If you've got another recommendation, I'm all ears!

Q: What do you think of this company for the next few years
Thank You
Peter

Q: Can you give your comments around INMD's earnings release. Seems they expecting more conservative quarters, rev dropped, but not all bad and close to expected. They now have close to 1/3 of their market cap in cash, yet still no buybacks or plan. I'm wondering if things are starting to look bad here or just a bump in the road and you'd still hold? Thx

Q: Your comment on earnings please, I have a small position in it, is it a sell, hold or buy more?
Thank you

Selina

Q: I Have exposure to all the sectors in TSX index in my non-registered account. All my investments are in Canadian companies except technology and health sector. I chose American equities for health sector because I did not think Canadian sector was true health sector. Instead I bought IBB-Q and VHT-A. What do think of my strategy? What do you think of the ETFs that I have in this health sector? What would be some alternatives?

Q: Hello 5i
Do you have any recent information or feelings about Novavax. I don't know if they have other exciting things in their vaccine pipeline or if they just missed the boat? Fortunately I'm "asking for a friend" looking at the chart NVAX has made money disappear for 3 years at an extraordinary pace.
Thanks as always! You have been a great resource !

Q: From the media: “ Amgen stock slouched Wednesday after a Lilly exec called the company's early-stage test results for a weight-loss drug "a bit underwhelming."

Huh? What did they expect a competitor to say? I thought the quarterly results were good and the new drug seems quite promising.

What is 5i's take on the AMGN recent quarter (which beat) and future prospects? Wouldn’t it be better to buy AMGN after the sell-off than pay the overhyped price commanded by LLY?

Q: Hi team,

Grateful if you could update your views on Altimmune (ALT-Q).

Is it a buy now for aggressive growth ? Which other companies would would you consider more suitable now in healthcare for strong grow on short term and which risk would be associated ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Was considering adding to a small $lnth position to bump it up. Also have lly, abbv, well. Would you please provide an update opinion - potential in 2024/25 or value trap? Technically it is just perking up a bit.

Q: Hi, Could you give us your opinion on Vertex, specially after release of its earnings, yesterday. How is the growth trajectory and pipeline ? Does the recent pull back, notably after the earnings, today, presents a good opportunity to initiate a new position ? Thank You

Q: Any news for the big price surge today ( Tuesday) ? Thanks a million.

Q: Looking for your latest view on this stock looking at replacing it with WELL but GUD did very good on its last earning report but market doesn't appear to be to impressed,wondering if you would hold until their next earning report or just move on.

Q: Could you please comment on last week's NR from DHT.UN (see below). The market responded favourably and so did the analysts with a multitude of raised targets. Thanks as always.

Q: Your thoughts on DRI Healthcare Trust please. I am reading outperform ratings in the Globe and Mail. It is a comfort to have 5i to ask questions - thank you. Barbara

Q: Can you explain what the Well Health news this morning means for the company.

Q: RMD seems to the “king” of the sleep apnea/sleep disorder space. Are there others such as, NYXH:US, perhaps, that you find interesting currently?

Q: Why is Well Health under so much bearish pressure?

Q: Looks like an interesting turnaround play.

Q: Why can't the stock price get any traction. It just had three very good releases and it continues to drift down. Seems like it is in the penalty box for no reason.

Q: These stocks are my US non registered portfolio, and are all at a loss, to varying degrees. Which stocks would you hold, which ones to sell, and what would you replace them with? Any sector, moderate risk
