Investment Q&A

Q: Did anything material come out of the conference call that could explain the drop today and its lacklustre performance over the past few months? It was one of 5i's go-to growth stock recommendations. Looks like the shine has come off a bit.

Q: Did you listen to the conference call held by Kinaxis and if so what are your thoughts. Thanks.

Q: In one answer recently you called KXS still "buyable". Sorry for the lack of context.
Do you think the shine has come off the stock and could it be time to possibly sell and move on in the context of building up some cash for another similar position? Thanks

Q: Please comment on Q & impact on price Txs for U usual great services & views

Q: What’s expected for earnings this evening? Thanks

Q: If you only had one choice between KXS and TOI which would you buy today and what would be the portfolio weighting?

Thanks

Peter

Q: Hi,
I hold the above companies in my TFSA and would like to make the portfolio more concentrated for better upside potential. If you were forced to cut three positions and add the proceeds to any of the existing holdings, which one’s would you choose? Long term growth is the only objective.
Thanks

Q: If you had to choose between TFII and KXS for a three year investment, which would it be?
Thanks for all the advice.

Q: Hi 5i team,

Was looking at the Kinaxis Company Profile page on your web site in anticipation of KXS upcoming earnings report on May 5.
There is a huge divergence in the Q1, Q2, FY1 and FY2 wrt the 90/60 vs the 30, 7 and Current consensus EPS estimates.
Can you please explain the reason for the divergence? Was this simply due to their lowered guidance after their last Q release?
It seems like this is setting up for some major disappointment ahead wrt EPS changes.
Is this already reflected in the current stock price?
What is Kinaxis track record for meeting/beating guidance?
I assume the stock is a hold until on or after May 5 and perhaps buy into any weakness in anticipation of some new meaningful contracts in 2021?

Cheers,
Steve

Q: I'm looking to reduce the overall amount of positions. Of my tech names which would you suggest selling?

From what I can gather you prefer NVDA to AMD and would suggest one of either SHOP or LSPD. Is this accurate? Other suggestions or ideas to pair down?

Thank you very much

Q: Do you see BYD as fully valued or would KXS have more room to grow?
Thank you. Excellent site!

Q: My question is regarding Shopify being down today almost 5% with 6 days to earnings call. The following stocks are in my TFSA, and wondering if you’d consider trimming parts of this portfolio to add to SHOP in a potential great buying opportunity if it keeps dropping post earnings call?

Would you add to another “power house” like NVDA instead ?

Thanks for your insight!

Q: Supply chains seems to be a growing area of business focus. Managing them well may become even more important in the future given circumstances with the pandemic. Would you be able to provide some insight into Kinaxis' main competitors and where it stands in the field? How would you rank it? (Take multiple credits.)

Q: KXS management has blamed the pandemic for delayed sales. Do you buy managements explanation or do you think there may be a more fundamental problem with their competitive positioning in their marketplace? Do you have a high degree of trust in management?

Q: Thanks to Moez for a nice article/stock screener today. I was surprised to see so many companies from the Metals sector.

IF he were to apply one more criterion to the 22 companies that made the list, i.e. debt load, which companies would come up on the top?
( the companies with the least debt load to the most)
Thanks.

Q: I own the following tech positions. I am at retirement age and don't anticipate a larger investment except by gains.
SHOP ~ 2.5%
LSPD ~3.5 %
KXS ~ 3 %
I have done very well with all of these and have sold down a good portion of shop for excellent gains. (Thank you.)
From my view of questions would switching SHOP to CRWD give a better balance or would you recommend a different mix.?
I thank you in advance.

Q: I picked up a full position in KXS at just the wrong time ($190) and am down 17%. I'm wondering about the wisdom of selling and and putting the money into SHOP or LSPD with an eye on a better rebound. I have a 5+ time frame. I know they are different industries I'm just looking within the bounds of the Technology sector.

Would you make the switch or hold on?

Q: I'm looking at the rebound in these tech and consumer discretionary stocks and wondering whether you have a preference for some of these companies over others. Could you please rank your favourites based on risk/reward to buy now, and would you recommend trading any to exchange for others? I have holdings in most.

Thanks for your thoughtful review.

Q: For a stock price to double in 5 years requires an average gain of about 15% compounded, annually. Would you please rank these 12 stocks in order for the likelihood, in your opinion, they will double in price in the next 5 years. Roughly how many of these 12 would you expect to achieve that target? Assuming no major long term market melt down which would preclude good stock performance over this period. CTS, DCBO, DND, DOO, ECN, GOOS, GSY, KXS, MG, NVEI, PHO, TIXT.

Q: I am trying to decide between these two companies for increased positions today. Which do you prefer today and please elaborated on why. Many thanks
