Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you comment on Brookfield Asset Management's earnings and information released this morning? Do you see any areas of growing concern or information that would have you reassess BAM's status as a blue chip?

Thanks again.

John

Q: Good morning 5i team,
I am a little late reading Q&A. Not a question but a complement of information. Regarding Kevin’s question on August 4th about DOL’s negative shareholder equity: your points are all valid, but my understanding is that this situation on the balance sheet results mainly from their massive annual share buybacks over the last few years. Per share, the cost of the buyback is higher the book value. Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Follow your balanced equity portfolio. I am wondering if I should move money from BNS and CAE to something with more upside in the balanced portfolio As well, have a few of your growth names. In the recent questions and answers the outlook for pho does not seem good. Should I hold or do you have better suggestions for growth in the next few years? Thank you Steve

5I RESEARCH ANSWER:
Revenue of $19.6M was $1M ahead of estimates; EPS loss was slightly below. Revenue rose 53% but EBITDA shifted to negative $0.1M from +$1.8M and was below estimates. Backlog rose $22M to $85.5M. Cash is $60M. Revenue guidance was maintained but costs have increased and profit guidance has been retracted, which will disappoint some. Some of the additional costs are Covid-related. The conference call is later today and we will get more info.
