Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you explain the recent drop in IES holdings. I have read something about an acquisition but I don't quite understand IESC's involvement in it. Is there any negative fundamental change recently. Thanks.

Q: I have the above stocks on my watchlist. They are all coming into the range that you have suggested in the past. Do you think they are buyable at current prices, APP for medium term, the others medium to long term (SOBO long term) which order would you add, and what percentage of the portfolio would you be comfortable with as a starting position? Thanks!

Q: Hello Team,

My TFSA is currently not getting the returns I'm hoping for, can you please rank the above companies to purchase today in a TFSA account.

Also if you feel strongly about any other high growth stocks I'm missing pls include 2 or 3 additional ideas.

Thanks!

Q: Good evening 5i Team,

Can you please review last week's earnings for IESC, along with your ranking of it for a new investment (three-year hold) comparing it to CBLT, TMDX, ASPEN and AXON. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, Can you provide your expert opinion on IESC. What do you think of the financial results. What is your opinion on valuation. It has had a good year in terms of stock appreciation. Can you comment on the backlog reported also. Is it still a buy, sell or hold.

Q: I'm not sure what the differences between these companies are? In this theme of electrification, what areas and which specific US and CDN companies would you suggest for a long term hold?

Q: I am down 1/3 in ATS in a TFSA and want to move into something with some momentum.
Please provide a handful of suggestions for a growth name I can buy and forget in the short term.
Any sector. Canadian and US, but US preferred. I may also consider a growth-oriented ETF that might prove low-maintenance for the next 10 years.
Thank you in advance, your input is always appreciated and certainly helpful.

Q: How would you rank the above listed companies today for a long term hold?

Q: Good Mornings,

With much thanks to 5i, my winning stocks far outweigh my losers. However, I'm thinking of doing a little post election portfolio cleanup of two stocks.

Just trying to decide if I should consider cutting my losses on Aspen Aerogels and Transmedics, or if you think the analysts might have it correct and they are worth holding for another quarter or two?

I think I may have missed the boat on Axon, which I have deliberated about buying for two years. It has gone up so rapidly with the Trump win, that it may do some consolidating for a while.

If you have some small-mid cap suggestions that you think are showing good momentum and might be a replacement for ASPN and TMDX, please give me a few ideas. This could include Axon or any other sector stock, US or Canadian.

Thanks very much,

Brad

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide a summary of the fundamentals for IES Holdings including cash on hand, free cash flow and a measure of its profitability. Could you also provide its growth potential over the next 3 to 5 years and if possible indicate the ratio of organic growth to growth by acquisition. Also what are the insider holdings and has there been any significant buying or selling over the past few months. Is this a company that could benefit substantially from the dramatic increase of data centres needed for AI purposes.
Thanks.

Q: : OF THESE THREE TICKERS IN THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR WOULD ANY OF THEM LOOK MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN THE OTHER IF THERE IS A FED PAUSE NEXT WEEK? Thanks, Lesley

Q: I’m invested for the long term. Do you view any of these names as no longer holding any long term potential?
Thanks

Q: Can you provide your perspective on this company. Valuation and future growth etc. The fundamentals look great, yet, it hits a 52 week low today. Insane. Would you buy at these prices.

Q: Could you please rank in order as what you see as having the best long term growth potential? Or any names in the same field that you believe are even better. I’m pondering the companies that will benefit as a result of the report released today by the Canada Energy Regulator.
Thanks

Q: Do you have suggestions of companies (hardware or software, small or large cap) that would stand to benefit from increased investments to upgrade the US electrical grid (regional or local) in view of the Texas event and the general increase in electrical demand due to EV use?
