Q: Hi 5i!
What can you tell me about a company called Avangrid (AGR:US).
Any company info would be great along with their fundamentals.
How would it compare to BEP, AQN, BLX, INE etc.?
Would it be something to invest in for 3 to 5 years at this time?
Or would you prefer the other companies named above?

Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team
Comparing the top four companies in the the waste disposal business.
Ranking in terms of market capitalization (US$) is WM ($45.0B) , RSG ($27.1B), WCN ($26.9B) and GFL ($6.2B).
Ranking in terms of dividend yield is WM (2.04%) , RSG (1.90%), WCN (0.72 %) and GFL (0.20 %). All companies declare their dividends in US$ and WCN / GFL are eligible Canadian dividends.
The after tax yield on the US domiciled companies (WM and RSG) is higher than the Canadian domiciled companies (GFL and WCN).
1 - Overall, regardless of country domicile, please rank the companies in order of preference and why?
2 - Which is the better Canadian company WCN or GFL from a growth perspective as the yield is minimal?
3 - Any other companies that I should review?
Thank you

Q: 11:08 AM 7/21/2020

Would you please comment on the future viability of Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises RCL.

Given the ongoing worldwide Covid crisis it seems to me unlikely that this company or any other Cruise line can continue to operate.

They hold a vast amount of cash as prepaid cruises by customers, most of which they will have to eventually return or write off in bankruptcy or reorganization. They say that the cruises are just "deferred" till 2021 but Covid will roll on and most customers will never go back. Will this tip the company over the edge?

May 20, 2020 you said " We would go to RCL in a 'gamble' scenario." That the share price up $12 since then surprises me.

How huge is their debt now, and do they have any meaningful ability to service it. Would you invest in this company now? Their present income must be about nil. Looks to me like a binary outcome...... brilliant investment or bankruptcy.

Thank you......... Paul K.
