Q: Hi Guys
Comparing the 2 Companies, Telus is about 5 x bigger in MCAP. I was surprised to see QBR.B had about 618 million in FCF LTM, which was about the same as Telus at 622 million if my numbers are correct. Telus is about 2x as expensive on Forward P/E.
Yahoo shows Telus having next 5year growth at 17.8% per annum, verses QBR.B at only 5.15%.
Total Debt/EBITDA is actually higher at Telus from what i see at 5.2x Verses QBR.B at 4.0x
How do you view these to companies when comparing them. Is it strictly the poor future growth of QBR.B and the smaller size that makes it unattractive ?
Thanks Gord

Q: My portfolio analytics is showing that I'm a bit low in my communication services sector.
Beyond the obvious telecom companies, what are some of the less obvious companies or perhaps ETFs that would fit into this sector?
Also, including the telecoms, could you rank your top few Canadian and US buys for this sector.
Thanks as always.

Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment as to which company is likely to buy Freedom Mobile from Shaw so that Rogers can takeover Shaw. I think Quebecor and Globalive want to purchase Freedom Mobile.
- BCE Inc. (BCE)
- TELUS Corporation (T)
- Quebecor Inc. Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (QBR.B)
- Rogers Communications Inc. Class A Shares (RCI.A)
Q: I would like to increase my holdings in telecom stocks. I currently have BCE and would like to know if you would recommend buying more BCE. Or buy one or two other telecom stocks, such as T, RCI.a, QBR.b, or etc? Again, primary aim is income and secondary is balance equity. I plan hold them for more than 5 years. Thanks, Roger
Q: Rogers' ambition to purchase Shaw may have the side-effect of more-than-doubling Quebecor's wireless footprint. Assuming this occurs, does QBR.B become more attractive as an investment, or does the prospect of even more debt outweigh this windfall growth? In this connection, it's interesting that the company has already paid for substantial 5G spectrum.

Q: Is quebecor a good stock to be looking at right now. if so which one would you suggest A shares or B shares. Steve
Q: Would appreciate your thoughts on QBR.B. Has an ok dividend, reasonable PE and seems to be growing outside of Quebec. Can you compare it to Telus and BCE.
Q: Can I get your thoughts on Quebecor's earnings?
Lastly, any insights on Restaurant Brand's secondary offering?
Thanks.
John

Q: Is there any reason you see why Quebecor is down over 2% today? I already have a good size position in BCE and Telus and I am thinking, for me, QBR.b, given its eps growth estimates, valuation and dividend, looks pretty attractive.
Thanks
John

Q: The market has reacted negatively to the departure of the president of QBR's Videotron division. Wondering what your thoughts are and - aside from this issue - how does QBR stack up against the other Canadian telecoms - would a switch make sense?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Hi 5i team,
Within the telecommunication industry, I want to seek for companies that have good growth forecast, reasonable pricing, and mild volatility compared to peers. Dividends Not important. Among T, BCE, and QBR.b, which would be your preference and why, or is there another name you like better? Thanks.

Q: Could you give me your thoughts on making an investment in this company after their latest quarterly results. I am looking for safety of income with some capital appreciation. It does not seem that expensive on earnings basis. How would you rank it among telecom companies in Canada from an investment perspective.Possible takeout candidate given recent action in this sector?
Thanks for all you do!
Thanks for all you do!

Q: During recent research, I discovered a theory that even in our times of extreme volatility I should seek out companies that exhibit the following characteristics:
1. They have a history of growing dividends for investors.
2. They have a history of growing their earnings.
3. They trade at valuations that make sense.
So, based on these variables, and your years of experience, please provide me with the names of several Canadian companies that have these characteristics.
