Investment Q&A

Q: I noticed insiders are buying. As you have noted people don't buy because they think the stock will go down. My cost is 8.25 and I think I should either sell or buy more. I know averaging up is best but if one does not want to buy more of their stock when it is down then I feel that is a lack of confidence in the company owned and then obviously it should be sold and absorp the lost and move on. Your thoughts please.

Q: Greetings 5i Team:

If you had to choose one of these companies to add new money to without regard to anything but expected growth over a 3-5 year time frame which would you choose and if you could please provide a brief rationale?

Thank you

Q: This morning DHX.B price dropped 3.8% at market opening. I don't see any news. What happened? Is there any hope for a recovery in the stock price in 2017?

Q: I am somewhat perplexed as to what to do with my DHX shares. While guidance for the company is muted for next year, I am wondering if profitably is the best way to measure this company. Personally, I had thought that its content was what was going to ultimately be the value in this company. Does the company (or analysts) provide current valuations of its assets or are they measured only on book value? Or is profitably still a key indicator of value, suggesting that the programming assets by definition mustn't be all that valuable or the company would be doing better. I am wondering if this may be a comparable situation to companies that have monetized their real estate assets to gain added value.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Do you think yesterday's trading might have been capitulation? A bullish hammer formed after bottoming at 5.35. Volume over the last seven trading days has been very high, so perhaps the sell-off has run its course.

Q: i bought some DHX.B bought about two years back and am losing $2000 on 550 stocks,do you think now to sell and what to replace it with.

Q: Hi team - These two stocks have lagged lately. I am a long term investor, and am more focused on where the price is 5, 10 years from now, not the near or even mid-term noise.

I believe that you see both companies having strong management, but would you have confidence in their balance sheets over the long haul? I would like to add to both positions, but would hold back if you advised against it, or believe we could see the stocks drifting lower to even more attractive prices.

Thanks.

Jim

Q: Good morning Peter and Staff
I have Dhx.b in my RRSP. It's about a 2% weighting.
Please provide some stocks that you would replace it with?
Thank you

Q: The guidance is weaker, but two facts are keeping me from moving on: the dividend was raised 6%, but more important, the investment firm GMO LLC recently took a 6% stake in DHX Media. One would think that this firm did careful research before taking such a high stake. Do you recommending holding until the end of the year?

Q: Comments on financials just released please. Not very good at all. Do you still expect good things for the second half of 2017?

Q: Time to dump? Market seems disappointed in the earnings.

Q: Hi Peter, I am 18% down on this name? Do you see any risk holding DHX for another 3 years? What is their average EPS growth projections? Can it be a takeover target by Disney? If market goes down, can we expect DHX to hold value as this is being non-cyclical stock?

Q: You recently noted a forward p/e of 19x. I am wondering what 2017 earnings you show. RBC has 2017 est.at $0.49 which would be 14x at todays price. Also I am wondering what you show as the high low p/e for the company.
Thanks
Mike

Q: I currently hold DHX.B in my grandson's RESP. I am a long term investor but this company has been a disappointment over the past two years. What are your thoughts on the future of DHX Media?

Q: Is this company worth holding for the next year

Q: I’m looking to add the equivalent of about 1 full position to consumer cyclicals.

I currently hold DHX.B (2.9%), AW.UN(3.4%), QSR(2%), CGX(2.4%). Right now I care about total returns and I lean towards profitable companies which pay, and regularly increase, dividends. I am not opposed to swapping out companies or adding in new ones though I do tend towards the buy & hold philosophy.

Your thoughts on this list, other options in the sector and where to introduce the new cash would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gord

Q: The general annual meeting for DHX is coming up in Toronto soon. I have never been to a general meeting and since I am particularly interested in this company I was wondering your opinion of these events. Does one learn much or are they rather dry affairs?

Thanks for your insight.

Paul F.

Q: Hello team -

What are your thoughts on DHX Media's aggressive company purchasing plans for the upcoming year?

Is there a concern on how much debt they plan on taking on?

Is this a good opportunity to buy more shares at this level, or should one wait?

Thanks.

Jim

Q: The U.S small caps index had a 10 day string of gains, which hasn't happened for 5 years. It looks like animal spirits are finally back, and I'd like to buy before the "take-off". It seems it's easy to miss the boat these days, which happened to me with with U.S banks! Do you think this IWM move will carry over to the TSX small caps? I'm considering buying 1/3 positions in BAD, DHX, and ACQ. Thank you.

Q: Hi everyone,

Is it time to buy DHX or would I get a better deal if I wait for another couple of weeks?

What is the downside for DHX from here? The risks?

I am a long-term investor although it really hasn't worked well as a strategy. I have Disney only in movie industry and currently sitting on a loss.

Thanks for all your good work and independent advice.
