Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have MDT whose shares have been in a muted trading range for more than a year. Understandable reasons— e.g. postponement of elective surgeries &c.). However I then checked the 10-year performance of the medical equipment ETF , IHI.us, with that of MDT. To my surprise, MDT has not outperformed IHI in ANY part of an entire decade (I used charts at Scotia’s FlightDesk for this).

Several analyst shops seems to favor MDT, as do you. Has something changed in recent months to boost the prospects of MDT?

If this is a good time to add to one’s holding in MDT, please comment on whether the following metrics from GuruFocus are correct:
TTM P/E : 42.98 and ROE less than 7%. Further, I see y-y EBITDA Growth Rate % of [gasp] minus -30.10 and PEG of 11.45.
Can this be correct for a well-regarded company ? Kindly give your data for forward P/E , PEG , and please confirm whether cash flow from operations is adequate for operations and to meet debt obligations.

Q: Would you start to buy CELH / TIXT now or do you foresee the opportunity to buy either of them at lower price from here? Other than market fluctuations, anything specific in the near future that might be a headwind for either of them. Thanks.

Q: I am interested in starting a position in 1 or 2 of the companies addressed. PINS was at the top of my list but I’m uncertain if I’ve missed my opportunity after their impressive earnings report. Can you please rank these companies in order of growth potential for the rest of the year / best value at today’s prices.
Thank you.

Q: How do the above two 3D print companies compare? Do you feel the 3D print sector is becoming a better area for investment after past hype? Is the industry experiencing higher, more stable growth than in the past? Any other companies you like in this sector. Dm for example.
Regards Greg

Q: HI 5i Team. I really appreciate your comments that speak to opportunities/areas or perhaps "themes" where you currently see good growth opportunities now and in the coming years. Some commentators have pointed to themes such as EV and materials that support EV, clean tech generally, changes in healthcare, etc. What would you consider to be some of the better investing themes right now (say 3 or 4?) and what would some of your suggestions right now for some good Canadian and good US stock selections within each, with growth in mind over a roughly 5 year horizon in a TFSA. I already have positions in LSPD, WELL, XBC and QST, and I plan to acquire AZT next. So I would be interested in hearing about your ideas and suggestions that might provide some additional diversification into other areas. Thanks very much - take as many question credits as necessary.
