Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: HI,
Is there a future for small EV manufacturers? Most of them are bankrupt or doing poorly (VMC, LEV, RIVN,NIO,LCID). I owned NFI in the past. Seems one of the last survivors, besides large American (TSLA, F, GM) or Chinese companies (LI, BYD). Would you invest in this sector, if somebody does not want to support chinese businesses? Which stocks would you find interesting right now, or post-Trump taking office? Could be stocks related to the sector, but less sensitive. Thanks a lot.

Q: Portfolio Cleanup Part 13:
I'm embarrassed to admit that I am down 50% or more (!) on the above.......
Are there any with good rebound potential that are worth holding on to? Can you provide a short reason why for each. Thanks

Q: Lion Electric LEV) share price is down considerably (almost order of magnitude lower) over the past few years. I thought Amazon was a private investor in LEV (please confirm) LEV has production. Is this a good time to buy LEV for the eventual uptake of EV sales....at least in the commercial vehicle space? Your thoughts and comments greatly appreciated.

Q: It appears Canada has the potential to take a part in the EV revolution, yesterdays announcemenmt from Volkswagon regarding a possible gigafactory here, and this from todays FP, "Canada has seen at least 10 major electric vehicle-related commitments totalling close to $16 billion since the start of 2021 as federal and provincial governments work to secure investments in the rapidly-evolving sector." For fun lets say all this and more happens, which Canadian companies will have the most to gain?

Q: Good morning, 5i team!

NFI didn't perform well in our portfolio in the last 2 years. Your thought on replacing it with one of these 2: Lion Electric or Rivian. Or just get out and put in Magna or Linamar instead for auto parts instead. Thank you!

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Besides companies such as Tesla and the large auto companies, are there any smaller auto companies that may have some upside in the EV space. Any geographic location is fine. Thanks.

Q: Could you please offer your interpretation of the just announced financial results from Lion Electric, the business outlook conveyed, and any headwinds/ tailwinds looking forward that flag your attention? What is your read on the relatively high short interest on the stock, and their success in building a factory and Experience Centre’s to present their electric school buses and their electric trucks to customers in order to fill their order book (and factory)? Thanks from an appreciative member.

Q: As the Electric Vehicles become more mainstream I was wondering if its time to buy into the market. Have you been watching any of the EV players such as Tesla, Rivian or Lucid?
Also, what are your thoughts on Lion Electric her in Canada?

I was thinking of buying a small position in one or two of them just to not entirely miss the opportunity to be in on the beginning.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Warren

Q: I watched the interview on BNN with Mr. Bedard this morning and a couple of things jumped out at me. This is a company that has so far produced 400 vehicles building a 900,000 sq. ft. plant that is capable of producing 20,000 vehicles a year and is the largest of it's type in the U.S. ..... Nobody does something like that without a good reason for it. That would be like British Properties making the Lions Gate bridge ten lanes because " Maybe we'll need them someday " .... And the CIBC analyst expectations of revenue of $92 million going to $454 million in one year ..... Sure can't see that on the basis of telling the salesmen to " Go out and see if you can flog these things " ..... My brain says there is a reason for the plant and the analysts expectations ..... Any idea what that might be ?
