Investment Q&A

Q: How does PRL use credit unions in their day to day business?

Pls. provide year end EPS & loan book for GSY's past 5 years.

Thanks

Q: Hi, currently holding CSU 5.17%, LMN 4.86%, and TOI 1.8%. Have nice gains in all. Looking to trim some CSU and LMN and add to TOI. Would you be comfortable with this move at this time considering each of their fundamentals and valuations? Which do you think has the longest runway for growth and how would you rank them for a 5-10 yr hold.

Also, I have TVK 1.79%, HPS.A 2.02%, PRL 1.41%, WELL 1.91%. No position in DRX (how would you look to avg. into this name?). How would you rank these if you were to add to these positions currently? When looking to add, are you mainly looking at the valuation and fundamentals or does the avg. cost and % return factor into that as well? For example, my HPS.A is up 60% and PRL up 4%, does this factor into your decision of which one to add to or does it not matter and we should just consider the forward return potential? Thanks!

Q: hi group i am very light on financials does it make sense to invest in the smaller companies for exposure to the financial sector. (eg GSY,IFC EQB - please rate these 3 (in order of preference and why.-against CAD/US BANKS .. also I am light on Health care do you see the sectors as a buy please give me you top 3 picks in healthcare presently i own CVS and PFE should i sell them to invest in you picks?...Thanks for you help with this

Q: Hello ,
Is there a reason why well health is ticking higher and Propel keeps moving downwards to the lower 20s range? Thank you and much appreciated.

Q: Jason D. mentioned PRL uses AI & credit unions to make loans rather than the usual face to face. Presume there are cost savings. Can you expand on these details?

Now that GSY has reached a loan book of $4bill. & has a $6bill. target for the end of 2026, can you make a guess as to what that might mean for earnings? Has there been a relationship on their journey from $1bill. to $4bill.?

Jason D. mentioned whispers CSU is getting set to do another spinoff. Hear anything? Maybe that accounts for current weakness in LMN.

Q: I presently have $66,000 to invest and am looking at these stocks to buy. Please place them in order of preference . Best choices first and if there is some you would not buy at present prices ? I could have an extra $5,000 available if I sold my DDOG. Is it a hold or sell ? Thanks for your help !

Q: Hey folks...great service....just wondering if you have one or two canadian and US stocks you are pounding the table on right now...perhaps something that has been sold off but has very good chance of a shorter term rebound....thanks.

Q: There has been lots of good discussion about these 6 stocks on your forums section over the last year BDT, DRX, GSY, HPS.A, PRL, VHI. All have been big winners. Do you think they are still promising investments at current prices?

Q: Propel looks to me like a good company to go private or be taken over by another such as gsy. What are your thoughts on this. Thanks John

Q: Any thoughts on the extreme price movement today?

Q: Hi Team,
With weak growth shown from crm , and being that I am already tech heavy, would it be advisable to sell crm to add to propel and Eqb ? Both growing much faster with much cheaper valuations ; but in banking sector instead of tech . However in the alternative banking sector which seems to be much higher growth than the traditional banks currently .

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Yahoo Can. shows 2024 earnings est. of $2.08
& $2.99 for 2025. Do these agree with your sources?
Thanks

Q: Which stock would have the most growth going forward - TSU or PRL?

Thank you for your service!

Q: Hi 5I. My largest holding is TD and I am going to reduce it by a third. Reasons are mainly concerns of future US growth because of the money-laundering stain. The potential fine is not as concerning as being shunned by investors resulting in stunted growth in the US. With the proceeds I was thinking of adding to my RY holding and taking a position in IFC. Or should I be looking at another big 6 such as NA or ...? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello Peter,
Other than Jason Donville's negative comments on Propel, could the insider selling be another reason for downward movement of the stock. I do find it surprising that insiders sold quite a bit, at much lower than the peak price. Could this be due to the stock options being vested on that particular date? I would appreciate your comments and thanks for prior responses. Here is the site i am referring to

Q: Propel continues to drop post earnings despite very good earnings and outlook. What do you make of this? I saw some insider sales recently but I assume that is to be expected after a large run up? Should I keep accumulating in this range what is the forward valuation now? Thanks

Q: Sorry to ask again but I am puzzled. You had indicated a forward PE of 10.5 for propel holdings. Mr Donville mentioned in an interview stock is now expensive. How is a PE of 10 for small cap growth company expensive? Much appreciated.

Q: Hi, Propel stock chart looks horrible and stock can't seem to find support. Stock is now down 25% after the earnings release ( $29.89 to $22.40), after a strong quarter.

Mr Jason Donville commented in a recent interview that they were buying the stock at $6-$7 level, last year and they have been sellers for past few months, as stock has become expensive. This could also be true with many other early investors.

Propel has a market cap of $750 mln and is still relatively small cap. Do you believe that its multiple could grow, despite its size/sector risks and stock could trade higher ?

What is your advice for an investor who bought in at $22-$25 level ?

Thank You

Q: Hello 5i,

How does higher for longer interest rates affect Propel? Is this reason it declined over 6 percent yesterday. Thank you for your response.

Q: What would you consider good entry points for the noted stocks? Is there any you would not purchase at current levels?

Thanks
