Investment Q&A

Q: I’m only interested in Canadian compounders. Compounding companies that are mid to large cap that I am invested in are CSU, TOI, LMN, TFII, and ATD. Can you recommend 5-10 possibilities for 5-10 year compounders in the Canadian small cap space?

Q: A number of Small/Mid caps seem to be finding a bottom and rebounding nicely over the last week.. I have small positions in these names, what order would you be adding to these names at current pricing? Is there any you wouldn’t add to?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Do you this tax loss selling for VitalHub would be mainly over?

Q: I’m considering selling WELL for a tax loss. And buying VHI as replacement for at least few months. Thoughts please?

Q: Hi, these are my growth stock and would like to know in which order you would sell . Will sell one and maybe lighten up on on two other.
Thanks

Q: Could you list a few Canadian company's to buy now that may come roaring back from this downturn?

Thank you.

Q: All 3 down from their lofty valuations and probably more to come during tax loss selling. Please give your evaluation/opinion for 2026 and recommendation regarding investment strategies and would you add to position to take advantage of the opportunity. Also,please rank your preferences. Thanx.

Q: Good day everyone
I would like to know in which order would you buy today from (CLS, PNG, CSU, LMN, GLXY, GSY, PRL, MDA, GRID, VHI, HPS.A, BN, X, TRI, SHOP, DSG).
Also please included a buyable rating for each from 10 down to 1 with 10 being a great buy and 1 not at this time.
Thank you very much

Q: A number of your past favourites have been beaten up over the last few weeks. Is there any that you would sell and move on from? Are there any of these companies that you would be buying or adding to at these levels?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Seems like a decent recent report. Any reason for it's drop today? Thanks

Q: Hi there,

Can you give me a 1 (low)-10 (high) ranking on these as to which you BUY/ADD right now for a 3-5 year horizon?

I know you’re not big fans of averaging down but are there any of these that you’d look at if you bought at higher prices?


Thanks.

Q: how do you rank them to buy now 1 to 10 after the q3 reported. thanks

Q: Thoughts on VHI earnings?

Q: Hello 5i Team

If we get a correct in the market would you have concerns with the above stocks. Would they still be a long term hold?
Thanks

Q: Hello Team,

As part of my Small Cap Portfolio I own KSI, VHI, WELL which have traded sideways for a while. I also own PNG, ZDC and ZOMD which have done very well over the last few months (thanks!).

Would you continue to hold all 6, do you see any other small cap companies I should/could move into? (Was looking at GRID, FTG or any other small caps you like)

In total, this 6 stocks are 13% of my total portfolio.

Thanks again.

Q: hello 5i:
Recently, I asked the following question and you answered:

Q: hello 5i:
knowing you've been a fan of this company, from reading questions, can you comment on the fact that analyst earnings expectations have dropped from .23 (to year end 2025), 6 months ago, to currently .12. Has this changed your view of VHI?
thanks

Asked by Paul on October 30, 2025
5i Research Answer:

According to Bloomberg, adjusted EPS goes from 12c estimated this year to 31c estimated in 2026. With $94M in cash and cash flow growing, we remain comfortable with the stock.

Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific. I could see their projected earnings via Fastgraphs, but...................VHI has, shall we say, a not stellar (dismal?) record of meeting or beating earnings. So what are projections really worth?As earnings have been revised downward so much in the last 6 months, what suggests they won't be revised downward at the same rate? If you have confidence that earnings will not be revised downward, you must know something. Could you share that something?
thanks

Q: Hi,
Have 1.3% in VHI and 0.9% in WELL. If you had to consolidate into one position, which would you choose? WELL has been frustrating as it goes on these big runs and then pulls back and can't seem to get any traction, whereas VHI seems more of a steady long term compounder that is in a nice uptrend which has pulled back and looks like a good opportunity to add now. Would you continue to diversify and hold both or consolidate now and just hold VHI?

Also have small positions <1% in TVE and WCP and would like to consoidate. Is the difference in whether an investor wants more growth (TVE) or income (WCP)? Which one do you see having more growth going forward? Already own TOU. Thank you!

Q: I hold all three in an RESP that has to be wrapped up in 2026 so will be making larger than usual withdrawals. In what order would you sell and would you buyback in other accounts.

Q: Based on todays price, which would you favor? By a lot or a little bit?
