Q: Hello 5i researchers,

I have been holding ATS for a while and bought it around $55 in a registered account. Yesterday reading your answer to one of our member's questions, you mentioned about "we like ATS' business but it has had some fundamental issues over the last year..." could you please elaborate it a bit more for me to understand what kind of fundamental issues? any other better name or names in the sector to replace ATS that has some fundamental issues? Thanks

Asked by Esther on May 27, 2024
5i Research Answer:
Here are some of the high-quality US names with moderate risks and reasonable valuations that we think investors could do well by owning a basket of these names over the long term. Although these may not the the best winners, we think these could be considered as compounders such as BKNG, ULTA, AXON, ABNB, UBER, ADBE, FI, ODFL, HEI, AZO, ORLY, ARES.

Would your answer be the same today. If not, what would be your list today? Thanks

Q: Can I please have your thoughts and analysis on Heico's recently announced earnings. It is trading lower today. I have owned a small position for a few years and have done well. Is this a buying opporunity or a time to get out. Any thoughts that you might have would be appreciated. Thank You.

Q: Hi,
I own TT, PWR, HEI and TT. Looking to add to this industrial theme, if you think that's a good idea? I need a stock that's in a reliable sector without gut wrenching volatility. What do you advise? Are there CDN stocks you'd recommend?

Q: Nice earnings from Howmet Aerospace Inc and looks to be a great stock since COVID decline.

Can I get your updated views on this company and compare/contrast to Heico, TransDigm, GE Aerospace and 1 other NA listed competitor I am missing (BOEING)

Please rank from best to worse for a 5 year hold risk not an issue looking for largest gains based on best guess of course.

What 2 main financial metrics would you look at for these specific companies ?

It seems the standard symbol for Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) is not showing and only 2 questions under the symbol with Ex-Distribution - FYI

Q: I am down about 23% on a small position in ATS. If I decide to sell it for a tax loss, what are 2 or 3 US growth oriented industrial stocks to investigate as a replacement?

Q: Hi 5i,
Both are supposed to be economically equivalent, with the A shares having 1/10 the voting power. I would think that the A shares would be more liquid, but that is not the case. The premium for the regular common (non-A) is much larger. I currently have the non-A class; would it make sense to sell and by the A class to capture the premium? Or am I just overthinking it?

TIA

Q: Greetings 5i,

Can you list your 5 best managed US and 5 best managed Canadian publicly traded companies. Also please briefly explain why they make your list.

Cheers!

Q: Portfolio analyzer says I need more industrials. I already have a 3-4% position in CNR. What other names in industrial would you suggest and their price points for entry please? can be both US and CA.

Q: My industrial portfolio currently has a light exposure to the industrial sector. I’d like to diversify by adding some industrial stocks in the US and Canada. Additionally, in the consumer sector, I already hold ATD, TOY, PBH, ULTA, and COST. To further enhance my consumer holdings, could you recommend several consumer stocks in the US and one or two in Canada? Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Q: I have held Heico for 4 years. I am up 168% over that time. HEI hit another high today. CFRA has a SELL on the stock. Do you think this is based on valuation or due to its long run-up? I have been trimming on the way up.

Thanks very much.

Mike

Q: looking through your past answers (suggestions) i selected these two.
which one would you favor at this point? why?

Q: Suppose our extraterrestrial friend, Blaarg, seeks to diversify their portfolio by investing in the U.S. market. Which 12-15 top U.S. stocks would you recommend for them over the next decade? Thanks

Q: In your answer to Judith today, you identified four outstanding Canadian stocks that may develop, over time, to be as good as LMN. Could you identify 4-5 US stocks that have similar characteristics?

Q: In watching BNN the other night, in talking about Constellation Software, Brian Madden mentioned that his fund has recently bought into what they view as a US based equivalent company. Unfortunately, much to my disappointment, he didn't mention who the company was. This did get me to wondering what (if any), US based companies you would recommend that are Constellation Software like and would he have perhaps have been referring to LMN?
Thank you again for the fabulous service!
Mike

Q: Aerospace service, repairs, parts and maintenance for existing airline fleets is a likely growth area for many years as the ability of airplane manufacturers to satisfy market needs is hampered. Can you offer 3 or 4 of the larger companies in this area likely to benefit from this growth, provide some direction as to current valuation, level of debt, insider ownership, share buyback activity and provide a single recommendation that is your pick for best of breed in this area. Finally would you buy that pick at the current share price for a 3 year hold. Love the question and looking forward to your answer!!! Thank you.
