Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,

If MDA is owned already, would there be too much overlap to own TSAT as well?

Thank you.
Michael

Q: Hi 5i,
Could you provide your opinion of the likely direct and indirect impact of the promised US tariffs (or just the threat of same even if they don't ultimately come to pass) on the 1-to-2-year SP of the five noted names? I 'm not confident in my ability to discern which companies have a significant degree of immunity (although I think these 5 may).
Thanks,
Peter

Q: MDA is up about 15% today so they must have reported good numbers today. I have a 2% weighting now breaking even. I’m thinking of buying more to increase my weighting up to 3%. Am I crazy?

Q: If the Globe is to be believed Apple owns 20% of Globalstar courtesy of a USD 1.5 Billion financing. Globalstar in turn has added $750 million (CAD?) to MDA’s existing contract to build satellites for Globalstar. The satellites will be manufactured in Montreal presumably tariff free provided I suppose they don’t use a US launch site.Do you know if there are Canadian launch sites/companies? Is Magellan Aerospace a candidate? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
Jim

Q: I'm recently down fast with MDA and I know why. Will it turn around or should I invest the money elsewhere. Thanks

Q: Do you when MDA reports earnings next and what the expectations are?

Q: Would you see todays sell off as an opportunity to add ?

Q: Did MDA lose major contracts?

Q: What's the rationale for the huge volume and significant drop today?

Q: Hi 5i Team - How would you rate the management of Vitalhub, Kraken Robotics, Zedcore and MDA Space. I realize that this is somewhat of a subjective question so no specific number/letter grades are needed - general comments would be fine. Thanks.

Q: Hello, I am wanting to increase my TFSA Industrial sector from 12% to 15%. I presently hold ATRL CP MDA and DRX. Which would be better addition RTX or ATS? Another thought is add RTX and replace DRX (down 30%) with ATS. I do hold for longer term. Thanks for any comments.

Q: Hi Everyone!!
With tariffs looming, will MDA space be effected?
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: I am looking at DNTL, ZDC, MDA AND VHI. Would appreciate your input and recommendations of which are good and which to avoid. Please put them in order of preference.

Q: Happy New Year 5i.

I want to add $14000 of Canadian small caps to the two TFSAs in my family. I'm looking at adding two of VHI, ZDC, MDA, and E in equal amounts. Can you rank them in order of preference with a brief explanation? Thanks.

Q: Outlook for Mda for 2 to 3 year hold,financial metrics and recommended entry price? Thanx.

Q: Merry Christmas 5i folks.

Thanks for everything this year. Overall very solid returns achieved.

I was holding ZWT and then added QMAX (to compare for a bit and then consolidate) for Sector exposure, but when I looked at my whole portfolio, AMZN, MSFT, NVDA, GOOG and SHOP, through 40-600% gains (many thanks), have become about a third of my portfolio, but also represent 40 and about 22% of ZWT and QMAX. With their fortunes tied so heavily to my individual holdings, is it worth holding a sector ETF?

Conversely, I kept teeter-tottering on which Canadian bank was going to be "The best" over the next few years +, and not pulling the trigger. Based on some of your other answers recently, I settled on going with a 6% position in ZEB, and am ultimately pretty happy with the lower management fee and equal weighting approach, and having a holding in the financials. Do you think the outlook for the financial space over the next few years would justify a higher weighting? Would adding a small position in PRL or something make it more complete?

On the small caps side of things, I have positions in PNG, TCS, CLBT, TMDX, ASPN, HPS and CALF. CALF has been sort of... uninteresting, and I'm considering selling it and initiating a couple more small caps for more torque. Front runners currently are VHI, ZDC, WELL, MDA. Thoughts? Any others you would put in there? Would you dump ASPN for UFPT?

Given how weak the Canadian dollar is right now, would you prioritize US or dual listed companies? Or will Canadian ones get a 'Double boost' if we can get some strength back in the loonie?

Thanks for everything, and Have a great new year!

James
