Q: I had been waiting for Stantec's quarterly numbers to see if they had finally turned things around. It turns out they were released last week and given there was little fanfare and that the stock price did not pop, I assume the results were nothing special. Given the solid numbers WSP just announced, is it time to throw in the towel on STN and move over to WSP or do you see upward movement for STN?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi team
I have a full position in the above as well as WSP

Stantec has a very slow growth as compared to the above

I have no position in ARE

is it prudent to sell half of the stantec holdings and put it equally in ARE and WSP ?
I already have nearly a full position in WSP which has done very well for me
thanks

Q: I’m looking to add a 3 positions to this list. I was thinking about bns or slf. Can you give me some other suggestions from the balanced portfolio? This account is 20% of my total investments, and is for medium to long term savings. The rest is in well diversified funds. Thanks.

Q: In regard to Stantec's and the sale of their construction business do you think this sale should "fix" some of the drags on earnings the last few years? Overall how does this this position the company going forward? Do you think they need a infrastructure program to lift the stock price? And finally I they still quite tied to the oil and gas industries and is that weigh over the stock?

Thanks so much for your advice over the past three years - you have made me a much better investor.

Q: 'Interesting' to see STN selling MWH. The market seems to like this news this morning.

The purchase of MWH in 2016 seemed hopeful, when in 2016 it was hoped to "boost Stantec’s annual revenues by nearly 60 per cent", but there never was a big impact.

I have about 3.5% of my portfolio in STN and held STN since 2004, but thinking it may be time to sell and add to my WSP position which is also 3.5% of my portfolio.

How do you think the sale of MWH will impact STN's prospects for the next 2 years? Is it possible to say at this point?

Thanks.

Q: Happy Thanksgiving to All! I am doing a little portfolio clean up. These are the names I am considering selling: Atco (ACO), Barrick (ABX), Census (CVE), Stantec (STN). Are any still worth holding? Why? Can you offer replacement ideas within the same sector? I am about a decade from retirement and prefer stocks with a (growing) dividend, and also have potential for price appreciation. I have a buy and hold investment style.

Q: I acknowledge that these two stocks operate in two different industries but which one has the best long term prospects for dividend growth?

PLC appears to be more expensive but the business they are in is stable. Good looking chart.

STN has been flat over the past 5 years and perhaps is building a base. Would you agree? Is their water business significant enough to have any impact on their future?

Thanks.
