Q: DBO earnings came out yesterday and they were worse than I expected. Was a negative quarter expected with all the growth or did this catch you off guard as well? What are your thoughts going forward?Down 12% this morning.
My question is regarding the Balanced Equity and Income Portfolio. In light of the recent US election outcome, are you planning on making any significant changes to these portfolios in the near future? Would the election results cause any shift in company weightings to take advantage of sector strengths?
Q: Hi, Parkland Fuel stock continues to get pounded every day since its recent earnings release, losing over 10% of its value. It was mentioned as a baby Alimentation Couche Tard. Today, ATD.b stock price also showed considerable weakness. I have just started to wonder if there is a rotation out of these consumer names which have done well in past. And, if so, do you see this trend persisting, since money seems to be moving into banks, industrials and energy/material stocks. I have a small position in ATD.b but just doubled my PKI holding to overweight and feel a little concerned. Thanks for your valued advice.
Q: Hi, could you please comment on New Flyer earnings release. There has been a lot of skepticism in the market, as seen in the stagnating stock price lately, despite reinstatement of New Jersey transit order. After market sales are also lower. Do you see sentiment improving in near future ? Thanks
Q: Good Morning 5i Team, what is your opinion of zcl? I am thinking of buying just one stock, either zcl or sis. Thank you When are their earnings due?
Q: do you still maintain a buy on this company and also is the last few days down draft just a reflection that it had went up so much
how much lower do you think it might go
Q: I am looking to by Loblaw in my SDRSP and DBOX in my TFSA. I'm wondering whether I should purchase tomorrow or wait until after the election as I understand markets usually decline after a US election. Also, WRT DBOX should I invest in ZCL in the meantime and wait on DBO? It seems DBO has remained stagnant for a while. Does it need some positive news to move?
Q: In an Investment Brief from ARC they outline their concerns regarding BCE and its' payout ratio. Specifically they feel that if the Special Annual Pension Contribution and M+A expenses were deducted from Free Cash Flow then the payout ratio would be in the 84%-88% range (rather than the stated 69%-72% range). This may limit the ability to continue to grow dividends.
Should this be something to be concerned about? It is currently about a 2.5% weighting in my portfolio. If I were to exit BCE, either partially or completely, would Telus be the only real alternative in the space?
Q: Some information I learned from my broker last Friday while asking them about the status of the exchangeable shares: (A) the process has multiple steps and the shares had just been "released". If I understood correctly, this is the last step of the process (B) Broker says many shareholders called Wednesday/Thursday/Friday to cancel the tender, finding the process confusing.
Q: We depend on dividends for half of our income so I would like to get your take on SPB. BNN gives it 3 strong buys, 2 buys and 1 hold, while BMO gives it 4*, 3 buys, yet ranks it as overvalued and bearish. I'm thinking of 1500 shares for a half position. Opinion please. Thanks - ted
Q: I have been told that many small businesses actually sell through Amazon. T2 just opened a facility for Amazon in Ont. SHOP is opening one in Waterloo I believe. My question is; how is SHOP different from Amazon? Amazon is a heavyweight What edge or advantages does SHOP ? Am I missing some concepts ?
Q: Hi, Parkland Fuel stock tumbled at the open on Friday and closed 4.4% lower. I own it from before and was happy to add to my position on this drop. PKI has been in your portfolios for a while and was also a Top Pick recently. Is there something in the quarterly results which needs to be worried about ? After the CST brands acquisition, stock has just gone straight up and Friday was the first serious correction. Would appreciate your thoughts.
