Q: Hi. Pursuant to my prior question about Orca, based on the "bare bones" math it appears that Orca has a Market Cap of $70.4 MM CAD (19.8 MM shares x $3.56CAD), cash on hand of $136.8 MM CAD ($98.5 MM USD), no debt, and cash flow from (6 month) operations of $72.5 MM CAD ($52.2 MM USD), or $3.66 CAD/share. Note that all the financial data is taken from the 6 month statements up to June 30 2025. I guess my first question is whether not I am missing anything material in the "math", as these numbers indicate a negative Enterprise value. The follow up is that if this numbers are indeed correct, then this valuation must be a function of perceived political risk, given that Orca operates in Tanzania. Can you shed any insight on this, or is this outside your wheelhouse ?

Q: Hello friends,

I've recently read about these two companies in a report regarding insider activity. Both have impressive 52-week runs. My first opinion after a quick research is that APM looks pretty good, not so much CNL.

I would like a quick expert analysis on both, an opinion if their performance can continue and perhaps better alternatives, if your analysis does not result in a buy recommendation.

Many thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Valeura including your take on its Q2 report. Please include insider ownership and any recent activity, its potential for growth, and anything else you think is significant. I am not sure whether to continue holding (small position) or take profits.
Thanks.

Q: Is there anything I am missing here? Seems like an incredibly cheap stock with a good yield and little to no debt. Of course there is some risk of operating a mine in Nigeria, but that alone doesn't really explain why the stock is this cheap.

Are there any other gold producers you know of with such a low valuation given their production?

How does the company's market cap given their production compare with other companies of the same size production in the industry (even if from other geopolitical arenas)?

Q: I bought a large amount of PSI because it’s listed in a 5i model. I don’t follow Canadian markets, so I buy 5i-recommended Canadian businesses without much checking. PSI shares have only sunk in value. Why is PSI in your model (other than for dividend) ? Is it worth holding ? Is it an attractive takeover target ?

My question (admittedly a leading question from one who is weary of these losses in tax-deferred accounts): is it not better to shoot this thing and be done with it? You are still holding PSI which makes me think I must be wrong. Am I ?

Is PSI's *business model* viable, really sustainable ?

Sometimes a business I hold does nothing for long periods and just sits idle, or still. Then, suddenly it jumps like a rabbit, and the share price jumps and away we go. A forced metaphor perhaps but intended to to illustrate the sell-indecision. BNS is an example of such ‘rabbit’ — but it’s only after years that I am finally now breaking even, showing a small loss. The long wait is often not worth the opportunity costs.
I am baffled why PSI is favored at 5i.
:ao:
