Q: Hello,
I am wanting to add another stock to my TFSA, which contains SGY, DSG & ADW.A. Each stock is close to 25% of TFSA but only about 2.5% of total portfolio.
I am considering adding ITP, Winpak WPK, or CCL Industries CCL.B.
Questions:
1. I like all of ITP metrics except for the Forward PE (19.5) which is higher than the Trailing PE (9.8). Should I be reading anything into this?
2. Which company would be your preference for continued earnings growth & growing dividend with 5 yr plus outlook.

Q: ITP - Intertape Polymer Group has just boosted its dividend by 50% based on a positive outlook and there has recently been some insider buying. Earnings are due out this August, and the last time that they boosted their dividend, their earnings surprised nicely on the upside. This company seems to be a real cash machine; Good, clean earnings with not a lot of accruals. The company has almost no analyst coverage, yet it is approaching a 1B market cap. This company is yearning for outstanding, conflict free analysis of the type that 5i can provide. Will 5i be covering this company in the near future? What did you think of the dividend boost, proposed share buyback, and stated positive outlook?

Thanks!

Q: ITP Intertape Polymer has recently had a 22% pullback. What caused this pullback in price? It's EPS is zooming upwards to + 1.50 and it's had a huge runup these past 3 years from $1 to a high of $15.62. With a yield of 2.88% and PE of 7.44. Would you recommend this stock and what price would be a good entry level? do you see it at support at it's present price of $12.19 or do you think it will go down to $9.00? thanks for your thoughts, Jan

Q: ITP/RPI.UN/WPK Packaging stocks. Read your report on WPK and B+ rating. Unfortunately I do not own WPK but do own RPI.UN and ITP. RPI has not disappointed and on a one year return matches WPK -- throw in the divvy for more! ITP has been disappointing. Considering a large profit/ healthy weighting in RPI, a loss/ smaller weighting in ITP. I imagine I see more upside to ITP over the other two. Setting aside the dividend consideration where do you see the most upside of these 3 stocks?

Q: My question is regarding ITP-Intertape Polymer. It has a gain 0f 43% over the past year. However,it is now down 26% from its high two months ago, and trading at values last recorded about five months ago. On Nov. 19/13 you thought the decline of 13% was likely due to profit taking.I have not been able to find any reason for the stocks decline. I spoke to the company and its next reporting date is around Mar.7/14.
My question is if I should accept my loss of 23% now and move on, or wait until after the next results and see what they are and then decide what to do. I am looking for growth over the next 12 to 18 months
Thank you for this excellent service and I am looking forward to your reply. Ian.

Q: Intertape Polymer,ITP, has fallen 13% in the past week. The. Quarterly results came out last week and they were OK. I could not find anything to account for this decline in the price. Is this merely profit taking in a stock which has gone up over 100%over the past year or is there some thing else going. Would you just sit tight and if so how long until the stock starts to turn up. Your help is much appreciated. Ian.

Q: Excellent article on selling too early. Intertape Polymer Group (ITP) may make a good case study regarding this. The stock has been on a parabolic ride up for some time. They surprise on the upside; they have made great strides in reducing their debt; their gross margins are improving; they just doubled their dividend; and they are fast approaching a 1 billion dollar market cap. Would this be an example of a company that shouldn't be sold too soon despite the rapid share price appreciation? Forward P/E < 15 and PEG < 1.
