Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In a recent reader's Q. about 13 companies ranked for long term growth ATS (a 5i "B" name) was ranked first and TIXT ("B+")last.

I am trying to understand if it was only the growth factor that compelled the ranking, or is there some other?

In a recent report you state TIXT " has a
12.6X forward P/E, which is significantly lower than its peers, at 24.9X on average." The report also states the stock trades at a significant discount to its many measures.

Kindly reconcile my confusion in your apparent rationale and also tell me which are the TIXT peers.

Q: Hi

Sold both BCE and T prior to them dropping.

I am now under weight in communications by 3.79%.

Do I buy them back or would I be better off with VOX as my US holdings are doing better than my Canadian holdings over all.

Thank you

Mike

Q: Hi 5i.

Could you give five recommendations for 'hold forever' US stocks? I'm thinking the sort of companies you would never sell, and even pass the shares on through your estate, ideally.

Q: The share price has been drifting down since early 2022 and is now just above a 2.5 year low. Sales growth has been ok but EPS has been drifting down. I bought it around $50 and am becoming impatient with it. Is there another stock in the same industry you would recommend as a substitute?

Q: Hi Team,

Can you please provide your thoughts on NTLA? I've held it for a few years through the ups and downs, and am thinking of now replacing it with something with more potential upside. I was thinking about TOI, but would like to hear if you have any other suggestions as well. My timeframe is 2-3 years.

Thanks
