Q: Hi Group looking for some direction on following stocks. Looking for growth along with some dividend return. \plse give me a couple (5) of your suggestions that fit the guidelines lastly please rate them all 10 being best

How would you rank these in terms of health & growth potential over the next 5 years.

Thanks in advance,
Greg.

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.

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

Q: Greetings 5i, I am considering selling CAE and reinvesting the proceeds in MDA. Based on stability, current valuation and runway for future growth, what is your opinion please on this swap? Thank you.

Q: Greetings 5i team,
For my 2025 TFSA contribution, I will be adding to existing holdings as listed above. In what order might a person add to these three companies. I note the 6% drop in EQB today.
Thank you very much as always
SP

Q: which one would you side with? With the space theme growing in interest would like exposure to the sector to catch any tailwinds over the next 5+ years. If there are other names worth exploring please do advise

Q: There was a recent very good Q&A asked by Dan that I can no longer find. He had requested a list of (7) quality companies in the $5B market cap range. I recall WELL, GSY and TVK as part of that group....can't remember the others.

I was hoping that you could find that list and rank them by:

- current valuation

- management quality (if known)

- growth potential

- balance sheet quality

Q: Since the last question on PTK, it seems to go up and up. Has anything changed? Has 5is opinion changed?


They won "Best in Artificial intelligence" in the "Global Tech Awards". Does this mean anything? Looking at the judges for this organization, there does appear to be some people with some clout in there, but scrutinizing it a bit it seems to be very much marketing focused, and with 86 categories and 200 companies, not the broadest competition.

It looks like it spikes every couplefew months, followed by up to 20% retreat, and spikes again. I almost feel like swing trading this or something.

With your recent small cap likes, PNG, MDA, ZDC, and BRM, Would you please Rank them from best to worst with a solid entry price (I know you said MDA is good right now), expected growth for 2025, whether they're profitable (yes, no, or close), and a score of 1 - 10. (1 being moonshot, 10 Solid buy). IE {NVDA, profitable X%, 10} sort of thing.

All of these scores exclude the normal smallcap risks etc (i understand that MDA is considerably larger, and is primarily in here for comparison purposes)

Thanks a tonne, James
