Investment Q&A

Q: Emerging Markets, Developed Markets, Europe or Bonds. Which represents a buying opportunity now? Which does one need to wait for a pullpack before buying ETF in these areas?

Q: can you kindly comment of InPlay's recent earnings report. This company is quite small and has a rather attractive dividend yield at 10.8%; is it sustainable. Also can you comment of the company's debt position and how it stands relative to other oil and gas companies. Thank you

Q: what accounts for the relatively large move in the stock price today? Is this a good time to buy some?

Q: I picked up a # of CVE in usd and a # of CVE in cad because of cash available in different denominated portfolios. I can do a securities transfer to marry up the two in one accout with no fee and consolidate the position to tidy things up. My question is for 5i, which way would you go with this transfer? Move the USD CVE to the CDN account or the other way? Im thinking move the CVD usd to the cad as the dividend is probably paid in cad and would save on currency exchange fees. What are your thoughts?

Cheers!

Q: Nuclear/ Uranium

There is a trend where more energy is going to be needed for AI and nuclear appears to be a good energy source. In the past you have suggested ETF,s NLR and URA as well as stocks CCO and NXE. Do you still have the same opinion and what stocks/ETF would you recommend as an entry point.

Q: What explains the big increase (around 7-8%) of the value of these stocks today? What do you expect for the future and what is best to do (buy, sell or hold)?

Q: Trump seems to be interested in reviving the Keystone pipeline project. If this happens, would it be significant for TRP?

Q: Would appreciate your opinion on the following
Given the trade tensions between Canada and the USA what is the chance that Ottawa might not allow the takeover. And should Ottawa deny the takeover, what happens? I assume PKI shares could fall substantially.
Secondly, the current value of shares and cash, which most likely all PKI shareholders will get, is currently not $44 , but closer to $41.50 a share. Do you concur? And if so would you anticipate any top up to bring the offer closer to the $44 level.?
Based on your analysis, what is the best strategy: should Parkland shareholders continue to hold the shares or sell the shares and move on?
Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi, PKI is trading well below the Sunoco offer. Who would vote Yes to such an offer?

Major shareholders: Simpson Oil 20%, surely not, FMR LLC (Fidelity) 11% ? , Engine Capital 2.5% said NO on Friday.

When will a new offer come? Probably at the last minute, it happens a lot.
Great weekend to you.

Q: Your thoughts and analysis on this please, thanks.

Q: Hi there,

Please comment on recent outlook comments from the company.

Do you think it could be an ADD at this point for those of us who are underwater and holding over the past few years in a diversified account?

Ok thank you

Q: BEP Brookfield renewal property is yielding over 6 per cent at the current unit price and it is trading in a tight range (about $30 to $33) the past few months. I add to my position when it gets near $30 and trim it when it gets near to $34. I think it is a good company to hold for income but what about capital appreciation? This stock used to trade up around $50!! Was that due to the 'green energy hype" of the past? I know that cost of capital is very important to high capital, low margin industries like power production, but BEP should have pretty low cost of capital since it belongs to the Brookefield group of companies, right?? Also I have scoured the company website to try and find out how aggressive BEP depreciates their assets, particularly the wind and solar since solar panels do need to be replaced as do those big blades on the wind turbines. I would like to know if BEP is depreciating these assets quickly enough, but I am not sure where to get that kind of info.

Q: How would you rank nat gas stocks for total return, upside potential and safety?

Q: Hi Team,
What's your current thoughts on the current Meg takeover offer? Do you still feel a higher offer will come to play? What's the usual timeline on takeover offers such as this as to when another company might swoop in for a higher bid? The offer from Strathcona is open until Sept I believe, but I would have to think if a competing offer is coming it would probably be much sooner than that would it not?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi Team,
Looking at Pembina's recent weakness, is it fair to say that currently it would be a better "buy" today compared to Enb which is riding near highs in terms of potential long term growth? When I look at valuation I am seeing a P/E of 16.85 for PPL and 23.25 for ENB. Also, I am wondering if PPl valuation stays low, if it will be a takeout candidate for ENB some day? Market cap of PPl is only 30 billion compared to 137B for ENB. PPL has some valuable assets, including LNG plant currently under construction. Dividends are fairly similar with enb slightly higher at the moment. Thoughts?

Shane.

Q: Good morning ... I would like to initiate a position in the oil field services industry.
Currently, I'm looking at Pason Systems and Trican Well Services. Which of the two would be your choice, and why?

Thanks, Rick

Q: Hello Folks:
Unfortunately we have lost approx. close to 30% of our EMAX investment in the last few months. The current dividend is 16%; up from 13% upon purchase.
Should we accept this loss, move on or wait? Are there superior choices for this stock (we did primarily consider it an income investment, although a little growth potential would be okay). A goodly proportion of our investments are in energy; how do you view this sector and it's outlook?

Thank you for your most terrific service!!!!

Q: Hi 5i Team; Please reply with two or three companies that produce natural gas, and will benefit the most from supplying the LNG Canada in Kitimat, after it begins shipping LNG?

Q: Peter; Having read your last comment I was intrigued by the 2025 EPS estimate of $3.30. What am I missing - I realize their last earnings was dismal at best - but is the $3.30 realistic. BTW when I was looking at the price quote and then went to the NEWS segment TRICAN came up - no SHLE News. Any idea why? Would you add here ? Thanks.

Q: Baytex BTE is my worst performer in my oil & gas sector portfolio. What is your assessment of the management? Is it a quality company? Will it be able to survive this down cycle? Assuming $70 WTI by the end of the year, will it outperform most other well known oil & gas stocks in Canada? I.e. Does it have good leverage to the price of oil? Or is this a value trap and should now be sold?
