Investment Q&A

Q: I am interested in adding to my position here. Reasoning is - last two quarters show improvements, interest rates are lower and possibly will drop more, insiders purchasing shares. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Q: Hi there!

Yesterday I saw an analyst had raised his 2025 target price to “outperform” from 3.25 to 5.00 based on strong improvements mostly from the Triad business and recovery of the RV Lending business…what do you think?

Thank you!

Q: What is your outlook for ECN and AND and why ? I'm thinking of selling one or both to finance a purchase of ISRG ........

Q: Could you comment on the earnings report, also the guidance given by the company? Would you be a buyer at this price?

Q: ECN seems to be slowly rising from the ashes. Given that 🇨🇦 is now on a downward interest rate cycle, do you see good potential for them going forward? I know you used to think their management team was top notch.

Q: Portfolio Cleanup Part 11:
I'm embarrassed to admit that I am down 50% or more (!) on the above.......
Are there any with good rebound potential that are worth holding on to? Can you provide a short reason why for each. Thanks

Q: ECN capital got back to positive EPS in the last quarter (3 cents). The share price is breaking out today. Management is still guiding for 10 to 16 cents of EPS for the year. In the background is the chance to their partner in the manufactured home financing (triad) could do a take over of ecN (not a sufficient reason the buy on its own but another positive possibliity). And combining a good chance for lower interest rates which I believe would help ecN makes me want to add to my small position in ecN. What is you read on the earnings and do you concur that it is time to add to a ecN position?

Q: Hi there,

Can you please comment on ECN earnings report yesterday and your thoughts on future progress?

Thank you

Q: Hello; Could you please provide some insight on ECN, I own the
stock, is it a buy, sell or old.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: Just read the earnings report for ECN . Looks like they had earning of zero per share which the market appears to like .... Could 5i give an analysis and opinion on the two businesses and thoughts for a catalyst going forward ? Also comment on the management changes. I believe management was a large part of the company's original attraction . I also received the " Management Information Circular " in the mail which has comments on the strategic review. It mentions someone called " Skyline " . Could 5i explain who they are,what they do, and translate the explanation of the strategic review from " Business gobbleygook " to " Business for dumbies " so I understand it and what you think of the results of the review ? ..... Thanks for your always sound analysis ..... Garth

Q: looks like an interesting company with possible earnings growth please enlighten me with your thoughts..... patient long term for me

Q: Hi there,

Following reporting things are looking sketchy…do you have enough confidence in management to continue to HOLD….or?

Thanks!

Q: What’s your view after earnings?

Q: Hi There,

When is ECN’s next quarterly earnings report and what is expected? How long would you continue to HOLD hoping for improvements?

Ok thanks!

Q: In my last question I asked ECR and You replied among others to sell ECR BUT I made a mistake my question should have been ECN AS I don't find ECR in TSE, Please let me know about ECN looser in my portfolio.

Q: comment please on ecn news today re blackstone 1.14 bln investment

Q: In a question from Chris on Jan 30, there was a listing of "buy and forget" stocks. One of them that caught me by surprise was ECN given its pretty dismal performance. Although it has bounced off its lows from late 2023, it has been a fairly poor performer down about 65% from its peak in 2022.
Do you think this one has recovery potential in the long term?

Q: Hi - what is the upside potential for this laggard and what are the catalysts if any

Q: Have the following in a basket. Closely weighted. Looking to add a new similar weighting equity, want to buy and leave for 10 years. Can you provide top 3 suggestions please. As always, thank you.

Q: I want to add one or all to my TFSA from my registered account- In what order ( if any ) would YOU transfer them ? - Thanx Robbie
