Investment Q&A

Q: GSY has been dropping the last 2 days. Is there any negative report that has been released on it? Thanks

Q: Hi, Would you have any thoughts on how HPS.a stock traded today, touching an all time high of $96.75 at the open and then reverse course to close 5% down from previous day's close, with momentum on the downside, for most part of the day ? This, of course, followed stock price going up almost everyday in a straight line for past couple of months.

Does it indicate a near term term Top in the stock ( at least between now and the results in early March ) ? Also, do you think, it could simply be profit taking after an incredible 300% run over past 12 months, and there has been no adverse or material change, specific to the company and the industry ( demand related to transformers/electrification/grids , competition etc). Noted that company weight was bumped up to 3%, in your model Portfolio, last week, so 5i, likely has strong conviction in Hammond Power and comfort at current levels. Thank You

Q: Last year, Nuvei acquired Paya for $1.3 B. After a year, could you tell if it was a good transaction. Was it the right decision by the management at that time?

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team

My understanding is all (12 issues) of the Brookfield Office Property Preferred shares (BPO) were removed from the S&P TSX Preferred Share Index (TXPR) effective Friday January 18 (the quarterly rebalancing date). My understanding is the BPO shares were removed because S&P downgraded them to P-4 on December 21, 2023.

However I can find no mention of this re-balancing event on the S&P website or other news sources. I have previously seen new releases from S&P when companies are added/removed from the S&P TSX 60 and S&P TSX Composite index.

After reviewing the holdings listing for the CPD etf (which tracks TXPR), the BPO shares are now removed.

Is there any other news sources I should be monitoring? This seems to be a material event that S&P did not disclose?

Thanks

Q: We own the above in our non registered portfolio. Please advise the average 5 year return on each of them.

Q: Hello, Looks like Hammond Power will be added to S&P Canadian Dividend Aristocrats Index, soon. Sounds like good news for investors !! Do you see any material impact on trading and share price, due to demand from ETF;s and MF's ? Thanks

Q: What is your opinion on the issues at Parkland?

I am grateful for the service you have provided over the years.

Q: I was going to ask if now would be a good time to take a small position in PKI anticipating price appreciation once the Boardroom issues are settled but given PKI is hitting new highs today it seems investors are not worried. Would you consider starting a small position in PKI now?

Thanks for your advice.

Q: With the launch of bitcoin ETFs what "crystal ball prognostications" can you have for such companies as Galaxy, Riot?

Bail? Hold? Buy?

The last week has given them a proper lathering, and I'm wondering if there is more (pain) to come or if it's a good time to add to the position?

Q: Any idea why CIBC lowered their rating to neutral with a target of $4.75?

Q: The news on well health has been good lately; how is it that analysts all of a sudden lower their ratings.. It makes me wonder if there is some manipulation going on unless they are seeing Well not as attractive all of a sudden. Your responses of late have been positive and i know opinions can differ. Can you shed some light please?

Q: How would you rank these today for a growth oriented investor looking to hold?
