Q: Hello 5i!

I have some cash to deploy and am light on industrials. I’m looking for US companies that are growth oriented and I was thinking about ROAD as an option. Could you give me a summary of why you like this company? (Or don’t like it?)

And are there any other industrials that you would prefer over ROAD for growth over the next 2-3 years?

Thanks for your incredible service!

Q: What is your view of the infrastructure sector going forward? What is your view of IFRA? Would Jacobs be a better way to get exposure to the sector, or is there another investment you would suggest? About IFRA, there is a reference to it trading on CBOE, I am not familiar with this, can you explain what that is about? Many thanks

Q: I'm looking to close a gap in my non-registered portfolio in the Industrial Sector. I'm not too concerned about industry. I'm looking for some reasonably priced options that you guys like that have good growth potential, but also pay a (growing) dividend. My intention is a long-term buy and hold. Would you please recommend your top 3 Cdn and top 3 US "likes" and rank order purchase preference from 1 to 6 (with 1 being your top pick) and any rationale for your choices that you think might be helpful to my decision making process. Thank you and thanks (yet) again for your excellent service.

Q: Please provide me with 3 each US Industrials and Materials.

Also would appreciated 3 more us stocks you would recommend that are not expensive. So many have gone up and are now near the top. Please provide me with best of breed US companies that still have room to run.

Q: With the repatative hurricanes in USA and the flooding and devastation occuring, there will have to be a large rebuilding of homes and businesses, Which Sectors will benefit from this? Which Canadian and US companies will benefit? Does the lumber duties have an effect on the Canadian lumber industries response?

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

Q: I hold shares of Jacobs Solutions Inc. (J). My online broker informed me that for each share of Jacobs Solutions Inc. I own, I will receive one share of Amentum (AMTM). What should we do with these new Amentum shares? What is the outlook for Amentum compared to Jacobs Solutions? Thank you for your help

Q: As you noted in a previous question, Amentum Holdings was spun off from Jacobs Solutions. From your response it appears you are positive on Jacob Solutions.

My question is what to do with Amentum Holdings. Is the stock worth holding?

Thanks

Q: Hi, looking for a quick review of the outlook for Jacobs please, and thoughts on the huge drop this morning. Thanks!

Q: Magna MG I am slowly getting tired of its performance. What do you suggest to replace it with? US and CA. Thanks and Greetings, Peter.

Q: Hi 5i,

Had to trim some of my US holdings today due to portfolio balancing/management.

Hoping you could recommend some potential US stocks to redeploy this capitol over the next few months when the opportunity comes up. Looking to hold for at least 5+ years and I am interested in growth and ok with risk.

I have already enough exposure to AI stocks (AMD/VRT/GOOG/MSFT). I am open to any other sector you suggest but was leaning towards something in the real estate or industrial sector.

Thank you in advance and love the service,

Greg C.

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 Team,
Under current market conditions, could I have your top 3 sectors to invest in today along with 4 (2 cnd and 2 US) of your favorite names from each sector.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Wondering if you are still positive towards this company and do you see it as a buy, sell, or hold. Thanks!

Q: I have two stocks in a registered account that seem to have stalled: J and HD. Both are up over time (J up 50%, HD 75%) but there hasn't been much movement lately. Given the absence of tax consequences, is it time to move on? And if yes, please provide two US industrials and two US consumer cyclicals to replace them. (AMZN already held.) Thank you.

Q: Thanks to your sage advice, I am up significantly (again) on NVDA. Last year, I let it run up to 10% of my holdings, sold half and purchased VRT (now up 30%). NVDA has now increased to 8% of my portfolio. I understand there are multiple drivers currently at work turbo-charging the price of this stock (earnings, stock split, upcoming DOW listing, forced acquisition by ETFs, etc.). All this prompts three questions. How large would YOU let your NVDA grow as a percentage of your portfolio before trimming? Assuming you wanted to trim, when do you think the stock price will start leveling off (assuming the absence of black swan events)? If you wanted to take some profit and invest it outside tech, what would be your three highest conviction US stocks today? AMZN, MSFT, VRT, GOOG, V, and J already held. Thank you.
