Q: Hi, Sylogist share price has retreated to $12.50 level, from the high of $14.50, a few weeks ago. Company increased the quarterly dividend by 18.75% recently and had positive notes on its outlook. It also continues buy back its shares, gradually ( in addition to small insider buying). Cormark bumped its price target to $18 and upgraded stock to Top Pick in September, 2018. What's your current view on the company ? Should the recent softness be attributed simply to markets and low liquidity of the stock ? Is it a good candidate to add for dividend and growth ? Thanks

Q: Not a lot of questions/comments on this one and the last report is June 2017 (unless I have missed something).
It continues to fall. I have been able to sell half of my position so far (liquity). I still have a significant gain on the second half. Should I hang on to this other half or will the likelihood "that earnings will likely taper in 2019" as referenced consensus states, contribute to or cause a stall in the stock's momentum and therefore best set aside this stock for a quarter or two?

As always, Thank You

Q: Hi,

I am observing SYZ break out nicely this week. (and btw- thanks to 5i for its coverage of this company). I am curious if you would want to comment on the company at this time. I assume you would maintain at least a B- rating. The trading volume remains low, but perhaps it is becoming a bit more visible and may attract analyst coverage. Thanks for your opinion. Jim,

Q: Hi, In addition to reason cited for recent spike in stock price, per your response to John's question, Sylogist was also upgraded by Cormark (the only brokerage covering this co.) on Sep 18 to Top Pick from Buy and price target raised to $18 from $16. The analyst also raised the full year EPS forecast to $0.50 for FY2019 and $0.62 for FY2020. Thanks

Q: I would like to purchase some dividend paying stocks for a non-registered account. What would be your top five recommendations for dividend paying stocks (minimum 3.5 % payout) that are also likely to have some capital appreciation over the next 3 years. Please do not include pipeline or financial stocks as I all ready have these two areas well covered. Also, are your recommendations good buys at this time.

Thanks

Q: Hi, Sylogist stock is trading near its all time high, after Cormark's coverage. I am aware that a few months ago 5i sold the stock in Balanced Portfolio. However, we kept our core holding and are quite happy with it. We started a family memeber's portfolio (LIRA) recently with some cash and have invetsed in PBH, TSGI, KXS,SIS,SJ and TCL.a. Still waiting for an opportunity for CSU and BYD.un. What do you think of SYZ at current prices to be added ? Thanks
