Q: Based on the recent earnings report it looks like Nuvei's growth is challenged. The announcement of a modest dividend appears to be an effort to mollify negative sentiment. Given the recent negative momentum and the muted forward guidance, please give your opinion on continuing to hold at a considerable loss (TFSA) vs selling and redeploying the cash to add to either TRI or ATS. Thank you. Please use as many credits as you need.

Q: These 9 companies are the holdings in a growth oriented Canadian TFSA. The intent was for them to be long-term holds. However, NVEI, ILLM and LSPD are all down over 50% and some so rejigging is being considered.

Would you consider any of them to be a SELL?

Of the 9, which 2 would you be least inclined to keep in the portfolio and why? Please suggest potential replacements.

Please rate (1-10) the remaining 7 for additional money today.

Thank you,

Peter.

Q: How would you rank these current and 2-3year potential. All except TOI look to be massively discounted versus previous performance. Possible multi baggers?

Q: Dear amazing 5i employee,

I trust that you are well!

An analyst at 5i noted (in answer to one of questions) that there are dozens of trading opportunities available in the market right now. Would you be able to list some of those opportunities? By trading opportunities I mean simple trades (buy low, sell high).



Yours kindly,
David

Q: Hope you and the team (and readers) had a nice long weekend.

What looks “cheap” to you right now? I recognize that sometimes things are cheap for a reason. But in your view, what has been punished too much and likely to appreciate from here? 3m was one that I was considering as it is still down quite a bit and will recover in a better market (I assume—as everything seems to have its day). Thanks,

Jason

Q: Hello 5i team,

There is such a difference in Nuvei’s adjusted and unadjusted financial results. On an adjusted basis it looks like an incredible growth at a VERY price story. Unadjusted with stock compensation doesn’t look close to the same. What are your thoughts on the adjusted and unadjusted results for this story?

Also, do you have any concerns about the adjusted fcf yield that is used to buy back shares that are issued at part of comp and adjusted out, effectively making the story less profitable?

Thank you!

Q: I understand that you are keen on NVEI as a longterm growth story… could you please explain a bit more about where they fit into the fintech space - eg direct competitors, maybe comparative businesses? Thank you.

Q: Over the last 30 years my best investments by far have been with smallish to medium sized profitable businesses with good long term growth prospects that I have bought and held for 10+ years. Generally market caps of roughly $500 million Cdn. to around $5 billion Cdn. A few have generated 20, 30 times my initial cost. I am wondering about the prospects of each of these following companies producing those kind of multi-bagger returns over the next 10 or 20 years. Would you please rank these companies in order from 1 to 13 according to the likelihood that they will become another CSU, BYD, WSP, TFII, etc. that can be a big, big winner for a long term investor: ATS, ATZ, DOO, EQB, GSY, HPS.A, KXS, LMN, NVEI, TIXT, TOI, TSU, WELL. Admittedly, TOI is a little big at $8 billion market cap.

Secondly, are there any other Cdn stocks in this size range that you would say have that kind of big upside potential, and where would you place them in comparison to the above listed companies.
