Q: I would appreciate your take on Saputo's results.Revenues are up for yoy and qtr vs 3rd and last year but earnings appear weak. Is this a one-off due to the recent acquisition or something more concerning. Quite frankly I have difficulty judging the impact of IFRS accounting on the income statement. I look forward to your insight.
Thanks
Ian

Q: Hi guys
I have held Saputo for a very long time and done very well on it and appreciate its relative stability. However it has not done much the last few years except gradually trend lower, plus it would appear the milk/cheese market is always affected by trade/tariff issues out of control of the company. I have to say when I listen to Lino Saputo on conference calls he is very impressive how he knows the most intricate details about what drives his operations. What do you think would be a catalyst for Saputo to move forward in the next few years. A 2nd question relates to Premium Brands and given its drop in price over the last while would it make sense to sell my Saputo and bus Premium Brands as a replacement. I always worry that with a loss of a big contract like Starbucks the stock price might just fall away and that has kept me out of it, but of course they have continued to do well.

Thanks

Stuart

Q: I have owned these names for a few years. I did ok with them and was planning to add simply because I have some liquidity to invest. Do you expect decent return going forward (5 years time horizon), they have been going sideways in the last year or so. Do you consider these names as ''high quality'' ?

Q: Hello, I am a young retiree in my sixties I have a portfolio focused on growth while promoting dividends. I would like to add to the titles mentioned so that they reach 5% of the portfolio. Could you place them in order of preference according to these criteria with a horizon of 3 to 5 years. Feel free to suggest reducing or eliminate any of them to free some cash to add to others. Thank you

Q: I like Saputo's long term chart, which has worked out well for one who invests for the long term like me. Looking out to the future though, how much of a concern is it for you about the Trump administration targeting industries such as the one that Saputo operates in?

Q: I currently hold Loblaw (3% position) and Saputo (2% position). Which of these two companies have better growth prospects? Following Loblaw's earnings and given their considerable 'headwinds' (competition, minimum wage, bread price fixing fallout) I am considering shifting some funds from L to SAP. What do you think?....Glenn
