Investment Q&A

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

Q: BRP has retracted somewhat and I think could fall further to $59 or $60 range. Considering that "BRP competes with some formidable brand names, such as Polaris and Honda in the snowmobile and ATV sectors, which have higher sales and deeper pockets for advertising and promotional spending." Also as a consumer cyclical and with the present uncertainties around NAFTA, do you think this is a possible volatile stock along the lines of TSGI, The Stars Group ( personally now down 36% and have learned some painful lessons)? Or does it's position as part of a conglomerate give it some protection?

Thanks Always. Stephen

Q: The following is an info from a commentary:
Beaudier Group and Bain Capital, which own a combined 58 million multiple-voting shares in BRP, will convert some of their holdings through a secondary offering of 8.7 million subordinate voting shares.Tuesday’s retreat suggests that investors could be nervous about key stakeholders selling out at the top of the market, and at a time when some observers are concerned about the aging business cycle and the impact of rising interest rates on consumer spending
If you look at the average daily trading volume, it’s like 220,000 shares. You’re putting 8.7 million shares into the market. There’s going to be a complete oversupply relative to demand on the shares that are out there,” Ms. Katz said.
After the secondary offering, Bain and Beaudier will still own nearly 50 million BRP multiple voting shares, combined. However, additional sales are likely, particularly by Bain.

In light of the above, can I please have your candid comments on this company going forward. Is Doo considered a "sell"
