Q: In a report dated 4 Jan , RBC Capital says “… Element Fleet is our best idea, and we believe it should be a core holding in any portfolio, as we think the stock offers a blend of growth, defensive attributes and multiple potential positive catalysts.”
I just don't see it and feel I must be missing a LOT. I find EFN just OK. I don’t follow Canadian markets much so checked other reports, and skimmed several analyses. Almost all other analysts seem to be lukewarm on EFN. RBC includes well qualified, experienced, and generally trustworthy fellows.
Please comment on EFN with a focus on future growth. Is its business model robust enough to beat competition?

Q: I have held efn and ecn forever. I should have sold at their highs along with lspd. At this point all three have been beaten very badly. Are the dividends safe (ecn and efn)? What about the core business of fleet? This was supposed to be sticky similar to a utility stock but the stock has certainly not held up. Will the customers go bankrupt and revenues dip? Does ecn have risk of lending default? And how sticky is lightspeed’s business? If their clients (smb retail) go under they have about 100m in the bank. Would that last long enough for a turn around? How do you view the limited insider and institutional ownership? Is this a concern?

Sorry for the many questions feel free to remove additional question credits.

Q: EFN is on the verge (again) of breaking through $10 resistance established back in the fall of 2017 (it also peaked around $10.25 two months ago). If the breakthrough is sustained, there should not be much to stop it running back up to the $12+ range. Would you continue to hold for another 3 - 6 months to see if this plays out? Aside from technicals, is the company continuing to make progress in its restructuring?

Q: I'm thinking about selling a position in EFN with a 5% weighting in a RESP with a 5 year time horizon and replacing it with either CNR, NTR or BIP.UN. Another newsletter is big on these 3 names for longer term holds. Thoughts?
