Investment Q&A

Q: Hello, your thoughts on their latest results and is the stock a buy? Thanks.

Q: your opinion about CVX please.It looks like it has a lot of potential going forward

Q: I own Orla. What do you think of it currently? Would it still be included in your top 3 junior gold miners (see question from Nov 2023)? If you held it--would you switch for another junior miner at this time?

Q: Although at a loss as to what LIDAR sensors might be, the growth of OUST is very interesting. What is your opinion of the firm?

Q: I'm looking at metrics for TVK and cannot understand the market's lack of concern over what appears to be a very high amount of debt. I use the Lynch guidance that Long Debt / Total Equity should ideally be < 0.25. In TVK's case I calculate 1.03, which appears to be in line with the 5i Report on TVK showing Total Debt / Equity at 1.49. In the same report WELL is cited as a Comp but WELL has a Total Debt / Equity metric of "only" 0.5 - fully 3x better than TVK, and yet WELL has been punished for having too much debt. Confused...

Q: Hi 5i,
Just mulling over how to punch up a part of my TFSA that's not done much for me lately and is looking like it might do even less in the next year or so:
Specifically, I'm considering the wisdom of selling all the CTS I hold (at a fairly sizable loss) and replacing it with either NFI (which seems to be trending in the right direction, share price wise) or DCBO (which might be at a good entry point right now) in the expectation that by making this move in a year's time I'll be ahead of where holding CTS would leave me.
So, boiled down, is selling CTS now sensible, and is either NFI or DCBO a good replacement and, if so, which one is likely the better replacement?
And if neither, could you suggest another?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Peter

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Pls comment on Nextracker Inc. quarterly earning result.

Q: OUSM: Kevin O’Leary mentioned this ETF that he helped design on BNN on Friday. It covers 380 companies of the Russell 2000 Index that are profitable. It also pays a monthly distribution. What are your thoughts ?

Q: Good afternoon,

What is your opinion of AMQ?
Thanks,
George

Q: If I may add a follow up to your answer to Michael regarding concentration of business. While DRX supplies steel structuring for many different buildings throughout the US, their contracts are with the general contractor/project manager who has been hired been hired by say Eli Lilly to build 12 buildings in Boone County, Indiana. The large contractors (eg Fluor Corp) like to work with companies that have a proven track record of quality and on-time reliability. ADF Group has a terrific reputation and has the most automated steel structure plant in North America. The huge large scale building taking place in the US ( semiconductor plants, battery plants etc) require a company like ADF to meet their demand. If you are good, there is lots of repeat business from the same large contractors.

Q: Good afternoon,

What is you opinion of AE?

Thanks,
George

Q: I know that your most recent assessment of FORA was downbeat, however, they just released results that blew everyone out of the water and a number of analysts (RBC,TD, CIBC, RJ etc.) were falling over themselves to provide upgrades and significantly increase their targets. Would appreciate your view.

Q: Can i have your analysis on the report - seems to be quite profitable and growing nicely? How is balance sheet and insider ownership?

Q: Hi, What would be the Forward PE/valuation of TVK at current price $81-82 ? Is this multiple reasonable, for Co's historical average and the industry in general, considering the growth ( annual rate ? ) trajectory and with the risk of high interest costs and labour shortages. Do they have competition ?

Thank You

Q: Can you kindly comment on Alaris recent quarterly report? It seems that the company is doing well.
Thank you

Q: Thoughts please on their latest quarter, I think I can guess :-)
Do you see any signs pointing to a turn around?
Thanks!

Q: Could you comment on results and going forward ?

Q: Could you please comment on the recent Q1 report for Vitalhub? Has your confidence in this company's future increased or diminished as a result? Thanks so much - your service to the DIY investing community is remarkable. You are my #1 go-to source for stock research.

Q: My total small cap stands at about 12% of total portfolio. As a reminder volatility is part of the game when investing in small caps regardless of the time frame you invest in. I bought these 3 in the last few months with the hope that I had properly evaluated the risk-reward. Having said all that I intend to keep these companies as I still believe that most of the short term risk has now been taken into account. As the Rolling Stones sing... Time is on my side.

Question to 5I, are the 3 all keepers with 3-5 years time frame or are there better options. Those are invested in registered accounts so there is no fiscal benefit to sell. Please identify a sell if one is.

Thanks

Q: Just read the earnings report for ECN . Looks like they had earning of zero per share which the market appears to like .... Could 5i give an analysis and opinion on the two businesses and thoughts for a catalyst going forward ? Also comment on the management changes. I believe management was a large part of the company's original attraction . I also received the " Management Information Circular " in the mail which has comments on the strategic review. It mentions someone called " Skyline " . Could 5i explain who they are,what they do, and translate the explanation of the strategic review from " Business gobbleygook " to " Business for dumbies " so I understand it and what you think of the results of the review ? ..... Thanks for your always sound analysis ..... Garth
