Investment Q&A

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

Q: You have mentioned in the past that MX "has some degree over methanol prices" yet the main reason for the current decline in profits was low pricing. Just how much ability to price products do they really have? Will the new facility, once it is on stream, increase this ability? I still like the company but I am wondering if pricing truly provides any kind of advantage.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Concerning the report, unadjusted EPS this Q3 was $3.85 compare to $3.45 for
Q2. Therefore higher for Q3 than Q2. On the other hand, they stated for Q2 adjusted EPS was $6.49.
For some reason, they didn't state the adjusted EPS for Q3 in yesterdays release.
You calculated it at $4.29.
Why didn't they state that!

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have a question in terms of buying the dips for Gildan Activewear Inc. I initially bought roughly a half position around the time you issued the buy recommendation for GIL at $49.33. Since the poor recent quarter and guidance downwards for the next year, the stock has dropped to $34.26 as I write this.

It seems this is purely market driven as appose to company fault. If I plan to hold this long term (~5 years), would it be a good idea to add to my current position? I know you are not a fan of averaging down, but isn't buying the dip the same thing?

Q: If you didn’t have a position in MX right now would you start one now after their quarterly results, ...please explain why or why not?
FYI I am looking for growth and I need a holding in this sector and have at least a 5 year time horizon. If you have other suggestions that would be great also.

Q: Hi, What's your take on BCE qurater ? Looks like the results were in line with estimates and subscribers addition were much higher than expected. Don't understand why stock is lower. Based on results/outlook, is it safe to top up the present 4% position to 5% at these levels, for income and some growth ? Thanks
