Q: ESSA Pharma is just one example of an exciting pharma in a topically interesting (prostate cancer, aging population…) area but with impenetrable valuation characteristics. Can you say whether this stock’s prospects are worth its price? Are there other early-stage pharmas you like?
Q: I am looking for new healthcare stocks after selling Lantheus and InMode in the last 6 months. I currently own WELL. Quite a few have had a good run up lately so not sure if they are good buys at current valuations. What are recommendations? US or CAD, doesn’t matter. Should I buy an ETF instead?
Thank you in advance
Q: Hi 5i
Currently a share holder of WBA....
Regarding previous 5i comments about WBA, its debt and large dividend.......
Now that WBA has cut dividend by nearly 50%, where do you see it going from here?
Is it a good time to consider or still require wait and see? Attractive entry point at what price?
What has to happen next in this story?
Thx
jim
Q: What are your thoughts on the Biotech ETC here? I have heard the argument that biotech is very beaten down, and that lowering of interest rates tends to booster the sector quite a bit, especially once IPOs begin to happen again.
Q: This company seems to be doing a lot of things right. The ceo Dan Matlow knows this space well, based on my conversations with him a few years ago. It's business is primarily in the UK but it is making some inroads in Ontario. How does one go about evaluating this business: what comparable companies and what ratios etc do you use? Thank you as I am not very good at determining values in the software industry.
I'm low on healthcare according to the analytics tool. I have held XHC for a few years now and it's showing just a small gain. Is there anything a bit more "growthy" or should I just add to XHC?
Q: I would like your opinion on Apellis Pharmaceuticals. I read Citron's research piece (was published in November) on this company new product -Syfovre- issues and make a little bit of research myself. Obviously Citron is mostly promotting its own short positions but this one seems a reasonnable bet considering the content of the report (see attached link). No warning letter yet by the FDA but it is surely a real possibility.
Q: after the recent reverse split and additional financing, how many total shares are now outstanding and what % owned by insiders if available. Thanks
Q: I have owned Theratechnologies since 2018 and watched this stock fall since I purchased it. The stock has been rising the last few weeks and was up 23% on Friday. I couldn't find any exciting press releases that would explain the increase. Do you know of any reason for the recent increase?
The 5 analysts listed on Qtrade have a price target of anywhere from $5.50-$12.04. How much faith can we put in the price targets of analysts?
I was quite excited that it was up to $3.03 but just noticed there was a 4 for 1 stock split in August 2023 so my 700 shares are now only 175 shares. So rather than being down 60% I am actually down 90%. Yikes, I better not tell my wife about this trade!
My holdings in TH are only worth $530 now. Should I sell this loser now or is it worth waiting until the annual report (November year end) comes out?
