Q: Hey 5i,
Has TFII found a bottom after their latest earnings report and subsequent reversal of their relocation of head office or will an announcement on tariffs cause a further drop? Are they still considered investable over the next 5 years? Would you buy this dip in share price?
Would you consider NBIS a buy at their current price? Where would you place them on the risk scale (10 being highest) over the next 5 years?
Always appreciate your advice.
Dan

Q: Q (Private): They just released their updated plan (until 2029); what are your thoughts on what they have proposed in terms of revenue / margin growth along with the strategy.

This stock has been painful to own over the last couple of years so not sure if this is a needle mover or more consistent w/ their past performance.

Didn't seem like a big catalyst.....

Q: In a recent comment on SAP the Debt was characterized as “pretty high” and a “concern”. Could you please quantify? The Net Debt / EBITDA looks to be around 2.0x which could be viewed as quite normal or even “good”. Perhaps the fact that the company has failed to grow despite carrying some Debt is the issue?

Q: Hey gang!

I have a question about Aritzia Inc.

How much share price decline can we expect in a Trump-tariff situation? What is the tariff risk?

Your report notes the seasonality of ATZ with most revs coming in during Aug-Feb (the third and fourth quarters).

If I were looking for share price "pop" or a surprise, when would the seasonally influenced numbers show up? Would it be in the upcoming earnings report (Q4)?

I ask because I see a lot of ATZ clothing being worn, and I expect the numbers to be extra good.

Having said that, 5i made a great call on ATZ months ago. Is there room for more growth?

Regards,
David

Q: In response to one of the previous questions you indicated that with 70% of of its business in the US tariffs will not affect its business much. The stock has had one of its largest price drawdowns and as we know much of this is due to the very poor Q which in its history is also rare. Do you think that this dramatic price reaction is over done as investors believe the tariffs will have a much greater impact then reality. If you didn't own the shares could a case be made to buy? If not what price or circumstances would move it to a buy?
