Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter and Team:

I am currently down about 30% on both of these in a diversified portfolio. I was thinking of selling one and using funds to top up the remainder. (Spring Cleaning). Could you please suggest which has more upside potential vs downside risk. Or should I just wait on both as I have a very long timeframe.

Thank you always for a great service and improved site.

Phil

Q: Hi, Could you please let me know what the earnings and revenue estimates are for Shopify? I believe it announces quarterly results tomorrow. Thank you. Michael

5i Research Answer:
Consensus is a loss of $0.09 per share on $66.9 million revenue.

My question today, please, relates to the $0.09 per share forecast loss. Was that an adjusted or unadjusted forecast loss? The results were a loss of $0.11 unadjusted and $0.06 adjusted. So is that a beat or a miss please? Thank you, Michael

Q: Good morning,

Regarding Concordia Healthcare, it seems to be a darling among analysts on BNN as one of three top pics with increasing frequency. Assuming that these fund managers are adding to positions and assuming that there is a consensus both that the stock is cheap and that a takeover is likely, what do we take away from the continually falling price?
It would seem that the company is a buy based on valuation and if not for that reason, then the potential for a premium to be paid during acquisition. Three parts to this question:
1. Do you see it drifting lower until concrete news about a buyout (or not) emerges?
2. What do you see it as being worth if acquired?
3. If the revenue is growing and the debt levels are high but cash flows allow it to be paid down, is there something else causing the price to remain compressed?

Thanks

Q: my ACB is $56. CXR is not a big part of my portfolio and in my TFSA. I was going to buy more on the low 30's then the Blackrock news came out. the price has now come back to $36/$37. My planned purchase would bring my ACB down to $46 at the current price. Am I throwing good money after bad? If CXR is sold now does it get more than $65/share? Or less because of the debt load? If you were a potential buyer what would you pay? What is your advice? Thanks

Q: I've read your last two "short term " trade thoughts on CUS, indicating that the easy money has been made.
I too thank you for this trade and have done well with it. I still hold both stocks, having put in 2/3 in CUS and the other1/3 in SPB. My question is the market seems to be still discounting the takeover for if it was to happen at today's closing price CUS could be worth $1.65. If you still like SPB why should I sell CUS? It would seem to me that they tend to follow each other.
Many Thanks for your excellent research.

Q: Hi team, I know you've mentioned that you don't like dual-class shares. But don't you think that in ATD's case it has actually worked very well? The stock has gone up 500+% in 5 years. Maybe this wouldn't have been achieved had the founders not have had the 10 vs. 1 votes. They obviously have done an excellent job. Your comments pls.
Thank you,
Silvia
