Q: I know 5i is disappointed with the performance of TCL.A and it is likely under consideration for removal from the Income Portfolio. However I would like to know if you have a different take on this analysis by TD research:
... despite the soft Q1/19, our overall investment thesis remains
largely unchanged, as we believe that TC shares remain attractive at current
levels on a sum-of-the-parts basis. While TC is certainly facing some challenges in its legacy printing business, we believe that it has additional levers to pull to mitigate the impact of the ongoing secular declines in many of its verticals.
Additionally, roughly half of TC's revenue is now generated from Packaging, which is an attractive platform for future growth, in our view.
(They still have a Buy rating for shares but lowered their Target Price by $4)
