Investment Q&A

Q: Hi - do you think MDA is coming out of the "penalty box"...and why or why not?

Q: I have a significant loss on MDA Space and I am looking for a somewhat similar replacement in Canada or the USA.
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Based on your prediction that small caps may do better than large caps in 2026, which of the above do you think are ready to giddy up ie: best chance for a 12 month return > 15%. Thank you

Q: Hey guys HAPPY NEW YEAR hope all is well i currently have MDA IN MY RRSP ACCOUNT and am down close to40% i read your report on FTG looks interesting. Reading questions on mda most are selling for a tax loss im unable to do so in a rrsp. looking at a max 2yr hold would i be better selling mda and buying FTG .Im aware you dont do the buy or sell thing but feel that mda has a long way to go and i am looking for a viable alternative maybe cae or ftg . thanks as always

Q: I sold for tax loss ENGH, EQB, GLXY, MDA, NPI over 30 days ago and contemplating buying them back. Do you think that they have a good opportunity to increase in value in 2026. If so, which order would you purchases them in.

Q: Just sold in our joint account for tax loss can I buy back in an individual account before 30 days and still claim the tax loss jointly?

Q: I have been considering selling the following companies for tax loss. Do you think they are reasonable candidates? Or do you think there is too much bounce potential going into 2026. Would you be able to rank them in the order you would consider selling them from most attractive for tax loss to least. Thank you.

Q: What are your top 10 Canadian medium caps. Please put your response in the order you would buy them for the largest total gain (dividend and capital gain) over the next two years.

Q: Which do you prefer, and why. Would you buy here.

Q: There was news today but I am not sure how to interpret it; it looks as though MDA is set up for the longer term, maybe. Your input would be appreciated.

Q: Do you think Mda is attractive at current levels?

Q: I plan to convert most of my stock holdings into ETF's by Dec 15/ 28. The highlighted stocks are in my TFSA with significant loses due to poor timing increasing positions. Would you hang in there or cut bait and move on. For the names you would kiss goodbye, please suggest a more stable proxy. Thank you

Q: I receive DKAM quarterly newsletter. These 5 stocks (MDA,PRL,VHI, ZDC and E) they are high on for various reasons for 2026. If you agree, which ones should I add to my TFSA and why?
Thank you,
James

Q: Down 30% on MDA, its been frustrating with the news of contract losses in the last few months, etc... Can you compare MDA vs TSAT. Would look to either fully sell MDA or trim MDA and buy some TSAT as a tax loss proxy. MDA still has good rev growth and backlog and you seem to like TSAT as you recently added more. What would you do? Thanks!

Q: Do you feel MDA is at a good entry here for investment returns

Q: I've developed my own list of tax loss selling candidates some of which are common to your list. In what order would you purchase and are there any that you would consider a value trap or worse?

Q: Hi Peter,
Given the current valuations and the growth projection (or lack of), which two of these four stocks will most likely to have the least possibility of year end bounce and thus are ideal for tax loss selling? MDA, TRI, SRAD, or GLXY. Do you see any of these worth repurchasing for a 2 year hold after the 30 days period? Thanks.

Q: Hi again,
Just submitted a question about MDA that wasn't well proofread and below is the question as it should have been - I hope you can substitute the corrected version before publishing. Thanks!

Hi 5i,
What are your thoughts on the earnings report issued this morning? To me it looked good, but for a dearth of free cash - is that observation correct and, if so, is it a concern?
Also:
After the last big price drop based on the Globalstar rumour, MDA management wrote:

"MDA Space is monitoring fluctuations in our share price that appear to be the result of unconfirmed and speculative media reports related to mergers and acquisitions in our customer base. As a matter of policy, MDA Space does not comment on rumours or speculation. MDA Space management will provide a full update on its business outlook as part of our next regularly scheduled earnings release on November 14, 2025."

I was looking forward to reading MDA's response to potential loss of contracts this morning, but it's "full business outlook" didn't address the issue at all - although the issue certainly hasn't gone away. Again, cause for concern?
Thanks,
Peter
