Q: I am retired and living on dividend income. I going to initiate a position in PKI based on your outlook and now consider PKI a Strong Buy after another 4% drop since your Aug 1 comment:
Aug1- "The $3 decline in July seems a bit much to us, and its prospects remain good with its recent acquisitions. We would view it as a BUY up to a reasonable portfolio position."
Aug 3-"Analysts expect lower earnings for 2017 and very strong growth in 2018. We continue to like its long term prospects."

I'm really attracted to investing in companies like this. Companies that are financially strong and fair/under-valued. But impatient investors aren't willing to hold for the long term prospects and are selling off because the strong growth won't be realised for 6-12 months.
Can you identify other dividend paying companies in a similar situation, that are undervalued but should realise strong growth and therefore share price in the next 6-12 months.

Q: Hi,

I think the payor mix and reimbursement changes are the largest risk to this company. Assuming much more margin pressure, using very conservative estimates, my DCF model points to a higher value then current share price. Their products and services are essential and I can’t foresee a substitute. Am I missing something? Do you guys see any major long-term trends that could threaten their business model?
I have a long-term outlook (5 years out) and can handle volatility. Would you say the probabilities of a double from today's share price in 5 years is high?

Thanks,
R

Q: Hi 5i team,
Can I get your assessment of FCR's most recent quarter? Appeared to be a bit lackluster to me. Apart from interest rate sentiment that seems to keeping most REIT share prices down, are there any heightened business risks to this company given the type and location of the properties they own? And is the current payout ratio reasonable in your opinion?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: To paraphrase David Driscoll - don't trust adjusted earnings. Anything other than GAAP earnings is hocus pocus.

SHOP posted an adjusted loss of $1.1 million or 1 cent per share. "The...net loss widened to $14 million or 15 cents a share up from $8.4 million in the same period a year ago, but investors focus on the company's adjusted numbers." GAM Aug.2

Comments? Also what is the source of the adjustments?
