Investment Q&A

Q: Any suggestion for US income stocks that still represent good value ? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I am surprised by the recent strength and wondering if there is any solid fundamental news driving it. I think recent earnings were good, but this is showing a lot of strength all of a sudden. As always your thoughts are appreciated!
Thanks,
Dawn

Q: I have been "trolling" for financially stable dividend payers in the insurance business to find quite a disparity in the perception of value for various firms. While Sun life seems to be the pre-emptive "favourite", can you recommend other insurers of similar quality whether from this list or elsewhere? Stable income is the main attraction but some inflation resistant growth would be a valuable plus.

Q: Morning 5iTeam,
GT stock had dropped by about 1/3 year to day while its competitor CTB's stock is up10% ytd and that was before Trump's call to Americans to stop buying GT products. Your thoughts please on reasons for GT's pullback and your comments going forward for this stock. Would GT would be a buy, hold or sell.
Again thanks for your great work.
Cheers,

Q: I would like to invest in one of these companies,
for a 5 years hold. Which one is has more upside momentum going forward, and why?
Thanks

Q: B&G is setting quite a pace. Do you think it can keep it up?
thanks

Q: What do you think about IBUY? Does the equal-weighted approach provide a meaningful layer of safety for this currently high-flying sector?

Q: Hello 5I Team
Newmont Corporation is a US domiciled company and trades primarily on the US market (NEM:US) and it also trades on the Canadian Market (NGT:CA).
I am assuming the Canadian listing is a result of the Goldcorp acquisition in 2019.
1 - Which is the better market (Canada or US) to purchase Newmont on?
2 - Assuming the dividends from Newmont are not eligible for the dividend tax credit, would it be better to buy the Canadian domiciled companies (ABX, AEM, FNV, KL etc.) and receive eligible dividends? The yield on all the major gold miners is approximately 1 %, so I understand yield is not the primary reason for holding gold stocks.
Thanks

Q: Could I get your opinion on Ceridian?
Current valuation, prospects, debt, etc.

Thanks!

Q: I have noticed more of ROP’s applications in use by in the medical world. It continues to remains on RBC’s top global ideas for 2020. Is it over-valued right now? Does it have the balance sheet and cash flow from existing operations to continue its acquisition strategy?

The share price worries me. Should it? Or does ROP deserve its rich price due to its growth potential? If you would buy, what would be reasonable entry price (or would you be patient and wait for the next market dip?)

Q: Kim Boulton on BNN made a strong case that Intel is undervalued and made it one of his top picks .
the other two were TWLO and Fastly.
Do you rate any of these three as a compelling buy

Q: please your thoughts on REM

Q: I am considering purchasing either Home Depot or Sherwin Williams. Do you consider these stocks a buy at this time and if so which one would you recommend or is there another security in this industry that you prefer. Thank You.

Q: Hi team,
I was looking at adding to my position in Veev. However, to do that I would be looking at trimming either twlo or Now. Would this be advisable? How would you compare Veev to the other 2 as far as long term growth prospects? Note my positions in both twlo and now are approx 50% larger than my position in Veev . Thank You

Q: Safehold realty (SAFE) was a top pick of real estate expert Michelle Wearing recently. Can I get your opinion on this relatively new stock and your opinion on their business model. She likened it to a hundred year bond, yet if they can achieve their goal of increasing the distribution at twice the rate of inflation that is obviously better than a bond, safety comparisons aside.

As a US REIT the majority of the distribution is return of capital. Am I correct that this would be the same tax treatment as a Canadian Reit, lowering my adjusted cost base. And how would the remainder of the distribution be taxed?
Finally what do you think of their major shareholder getting management fees, while many don’t like those sort of arrangements I have owned some similar companies where it has worked out well for me..

Q: Do you have any thoughts on the potential of Colony Capital (NYSE)?

Q: I have done well with CSCO in my portfolio. Recently a guest on BNN suggested that the company is lagging behind its peers and would not consider it a buy. What are your thoughts for a 5 year hold?

Q: News from the US today on UNC going to strictly online learning has to be the first of many such stories. I know CHEGG is a prominent US name that could benefit from schools scrambling to move online but I would like to ask if you can provide some names of companies that will benefit if either elementary, secondary or post secondary schools are hastily shut down? I listed a few that might do well on the headlines and would like your thoughts on each but also would like to know who will be fuelling the transition if it happens (cloud, security etc). To put it another way, who else stands to benefit if "back to school" is quickly reversed. Deduct as you see to be fair please.

Q: (not on your list? - trades on nasdaq) reported Q2 earnings 11 Aug. I am trying to get a handle on its prospects. Aside from the first five years the past ten have been volatile or depressed, but improving in response to the current pandemic demands. Can you comment please on the current valuation and if possible indicate whether the recovery might be sustainable. Thank you.

Q: Do you think that Peloton has potential for further growth. Would you invest at this time? Please comment on the company's fundamentals. My thinking is that people will be hesitant to return to gyms after this pandemic. Thank you.
