Q: Should I hold on to NFI or sell, as the share price is dropping.

Q: What do you think of Yangarra today?

Q: Good morning 5i Team

NFI share price peaked in late March and has been been dropping since. The slide has accelerated since the Q3 report. Having read the report and listened to the call, I can't figure out what is causing such a sharp selloff. Here are four things that are noteworthy but still don't justify it in my mind:
1) new manufacturing plants (increased competition in the future)
2) Slightly lower backlog
3) Revelation that for every 10 new units sold, NFI typically takes 7 units in trade, and the re-sale value of trade-ins is declining, hurting margins.
4) Today's news (that the market has probably known for over a month) that 70 jobs will be moving to the US to accommodate the 70% US content rules.

I guess a fifth would be the overall market decline.

I've been watching NFI looking for an entry point. This looks like a good time but I feel that I must be missing something here. I would appreciate your thoughts before I pull the trigger.

Thanks. As always, your insights and guidance is much appreciated.
Peter

Q: This Little Rock Arkansas-based company is not in your database or in that of Stockchase, which I find a bit unusual. May I have your thoughts? VERY high yield along with a 17% one year share price jump.

Thanks

Q: Hi team,
Looking at this company's latest report with the oil sector being out of favour is it a good time to accumulate shares for the next 2 to 3 years? According to management the book value of the ice is one dollar.Some are predicting a four year bull cycle in oil ,but difficult to see with others predicting a recession in 2020 with oil prices that could hit 30$ What are you thoughts?
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: It would appear that many of the investment firms share the same positive views of KXS going forward. While there were a number of reduced 12 month targets, the adjustments were relatively minor. For example, Canaccord is now $97,50, TD is $98, 8 Capital is $100 and RBC is $105.
