Investment Q&A

Q: Please advise if this company is a long-term hold. Is its dividend sustainable? Thank you.

Q: I have received my cash payment for the shares in AW.UN. I would like to reinvest the funds and was thinking of investing in either the Keg or Boston Pizza fund. Can you please compare the two funds and advise which would be more stable and have some potential for growth.. Any other suggestion in the food services industry would be welcomed. Thank you for your great service.

Q: Can you comment on KEG's and weather is still a HOLD for income

Q: Can you comment on KEG's latest earnings? Is this still a HOLD for income? Bob

Q: Good morning 5i. Any recent news on The Keg.un?
It seems to be on somewhat of a slide lately.

Q: What is your opinion of these 2 stocks for Income and protection of capital.

thanks Valter

Q: Looking to add to my income portfolio and trying to decide between QYLD, RYLD, XYLD, HHL-U and Keg-un. Can you recommend which you would select for a patient 68 year old and your reasoning behind your choice please. Thanks again.

Q: Good afternoon.

Please advise your thoughts on SRV.UN and KEG.UN in terms of income stability.

Thanks very much.

Q: Greetings. In 2021, I took a small tax hit, to shift my "UN" stocks to my TFSA from my non registered... ostensibly to simplify my taxes. Just wondering if, going forward, you folks have heard whether HHL will lose their straight dividend status - or has it already? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team
I have held QSR in a RIF and am considering replacing it with KEG or AW. Both have more attractive dividends and seem to be performing better in the present environment. Could you rank in order of preference based on present valuation and future returns. Thanks for all you do.

Q: Please rank re: distribution increases and share appreciation. Any other suggestions for income/safety would be welcome.

Q: Can you please provide your latest thoughts on this company. The stock has been performing very well.
I am thinking of making an initial investment in a TFSA. Looking for some growth in both stock price and dividend. It appears that the stars may be aligning for this company with capacity increasing and sadly the loss of many smaller restaurants.
Thanks for all your insights and ideas over the years!!!

Q: Hello
Could you recommend service oriented (eg going to restaurants , on vacations etc) stocks and ETFs that still have room to grow with the reopening?
Thanks

Q: I would like to buy shares in a restaurant company that stands to profit from the removal or reduction in Covid restrictions. I intend to buy this in a TFSA and hold it for a year or longer. How would you rank these companies in terms of expected overall return? Or could you recommend another company that might do better than any of these?

Q: I’ve been looking at these four particular stocks, KEG.Un, AW.UN, QSR and PBH as opportunities to invest in an area this will benefit I. The eventual recovery from the virus. Do you agree, if so rate your picks in order of preference.
Congratulations on your excellent work.

Q: Hello it seems in-room dining will not be coming back for awhile.
I'm thinking The Keg would be one of the better Canadian restaurant investments. They should do better in restoring customer traffic as:
1. they already have more spacing between tables so they can maintain the same customer capacity/hour
2. Consistent quality of food and ambiance that is not as easy or convenient to recreate at home.
3. They already have great staff training when it comes to allergy awareness - this means it will be a better experience in training staff for Covid19 protocols
4. The people who go to The Keg tend to be more middle-upper income who are not affected as much by the shutdown.
5. If food ingredient prices increase, their margins may not be affected as much as ingredient expense is a smaller % of their overall expenses.
6. Landlords view them as a quality 'draw tenant' and so hopefully will work with them to maintain occupancy

What do you think? Is the distribution safe or if cut, would it be restored faster?

Q: Good day! If as and when this pandemic passes, most couples will want to go out and enjoy themselves at some restaurants (ex. steak houses,fast food, etc). Can you please give me two choices of some big names and pls provide their three top revenue producing divisions that will deliver good growth over next 3-5 yrs.. too.. thanks again..

Q: What is your opinion on the medium to long term outlook on the Keg?

Q: Hello Peter and Staff

I rode BPF.UN too far down but have sold it wondering if franchisees will make it to the other side

So far I have kept AW.UN and KEG.UN. Aside from the concern about disposable income needed on the other side to dine at the KEG , do you how the ownership is of the establishments/ franchisee or corporate owned?

Thanks and have a great day
Dennis

Q: What is your opinion on the Keg.un at these price levels. Do you know what the payout % on the dividend.

thanks Valter
