Investment Q&A

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

Q: Enghouse has been mercilessly and relentlessly whacked all the way back down to near its March 2020 covid-panic-selling lows, a feat unmatched by most of the hardest-hit tech stocks. At what point (price) do you think it could be considered attractive on valuation? I can withstand the volatility, but given its global exposure (especially Europe) do you think it is prudent to crystallize a 20% tax-loss on it at this point in time?

Q: This company is at March 2020 lows. Do you have conviction in this name or would you suggest putting sale proceeds into DSG, PBH or CAE for instance? I have plenty of IT exposure already. Thank you.

Q: Hi!

I understand why Magna is down given their exposure to Russia and Belarus even though it is small, investors are selling everything associated with Russia. It seems over done since I'm sure Magna could pivot quite easily given the size of their overall operations and the proportion in the undesirable countries. I have starting building a position at these levels since it is approaching a 3% yield. Agree?

On the other hand, not sure what is going on with Aritzia. Down from $58 to below $45. Is the market anticipating a recession? Doesn't seem like their manufacturing is affected by the War. Having a hard time making sense of this given Aritzia's momentum prior to the War and strong earnings reports.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Dear 5i team.

I see AT is set to report 3/10. In view of this, can you let us know what is expected and what your educated guess would be if they miss/beat? In other words, your opinion on risk reward from these levels would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Q: I find myself on the fence with Savaria. I have held it a long time and consequently have had it grow from a partial position initially to full position without adding to it. With interest rates due to rise I assume it will cost SIS more to service their debt (eventually at least), and if inflation continues to run I would prefer owning a company that has demonstrated an ability to increase their dividend. In your last report, under “Valuation” you state “… we expect SIS to maintain its record of annual dividend increases”, but I note in the Report Card of that same report it gives 5 Yr Dividend Growth a C rating and what looks like a -25%? Can you please comment?
Thanks,

Q: Hello

I have about $25K in cash to invest with a 15 year time horizon. I own many of your balanced and income portfolio CO’s already, I probably own too many with 25-30 in my portfolio that’s high 6 figures. I don’t own these 2 - GSY or SHOP.

Would you recommended added these two new positions to my portfolio, or just increase positions with my current names - WSP, TFII, BAM.a, the banks, etc.


Thanks,

Q: Magna is currently dropping significantly and I understand they have 6 manufacturing/assembly factories in Russia along with 2500 employees. What do you foresee the impact this year and longer term.

I'm sure inflation and the semi-conductor shortage are also having an impact on stock price, yet I expect to a lesser extent.

Do you see this as a buy and what would be a good target price?

Thanks!
