Q: Hello 5i Team,
In the past month alone NFI has received contracts for almost 600 buses (hybrid/electric) according to the headlines on seeking alpha. Do these contracts actually translate into bus sales?

What is keeping this company down over years? Is it that the dept is to high for the market or that the acquisitions simply have not panned out?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: hello 5i:
We're looking for a decent income stock and are considering EIF. We already own about a 1.5% position in AC. Are the companies businesses too similar in that they are both tied to the airline business or is there sufficient difference to own both? And what are your thoughts on the present valuation of EIF?
thanks

Q: This company has been on a fairly continual slide for a year now. I am just about break-even in a TFSA, I have had a bad habit in the past of being impatient and because room in the TFSA is limited I have sometimes sold things for the next shiny object and regretted the decision years later as the original holding finally takes off.

Analysts following the stock seem to still expect significant upside, what do you see in terms of potential and also risks?

Q: I hold SPOT and have been adding to my position on current weakness. Their earnings took a hit recently but they also acquired DigiGeoData which looks like a good move to me. They are profitable at this size and can scale quickly. I'm surprised that it continues to fall past the 70 cent mark and hit 64 cents today to make the p/e of 9x, p/book of 2 and price to sales under 8x. The fundamentals look great to me - am I missing something?

Q: Dear 5i team.

Looking to add to my SYZ position, but have a couple of questions.

1) Why do you show NR in your recent portfolio update as at Feb 10 but your March 21 co. report you gave it a B+?

2) Who are it's competitors and please give a brief comparison in terms of where SYZ fits on the list if stack ranked?

3) Would it make sense for them to acquire any of them in terms of synergies?

I am considering adding to my position given the market weakness and the stock current negative momentum, but wanted your input first.

Many thanks.

Q: This company is projected to make 1.32 US/share for 2021 or $1.68 CDN.. The numbers come out next week. It seems awfully cheap and indications are the seafood industry is very strong. Are you able to tell me the highest p/e it has ever traded at? If the 4th q numbers are strong, I think they may raise the dividend closer to the pre-covid levels.
