Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just a few questions on the new NFI report. Your data on the website (love the new expanded info!) shows EPS estimates of $3.07 and $3.28 in 2017 and 2018. On my RBC research they show 2.48 and 2.57. Is it usual that analysts would differ so considerably in their estimates?
Also on the web site data you show NFI dividend growth of 4.30% over 5years but your recent report indicates growth of 7.9% over 5 years?
Based on the 3.07 3.28 earnings are expected to grow 7%. Does this include the expected margin expansion to 6.8%?
Many thanks.
Mike

Q: I hold a small positon (2%) in CanWel which apparently did OK this quarter. I was considering adding to this position but reading previous questions and answers it, would appear that 5i is not that keen on this stock because of it's cyclical nature and perhaps I should sell into their quarterly results. Debt and payout ratios seem high. Are there other negatives or positives I should be considering?

Thank you

Q: I have been following ELD, and researched the fundamentals. It seems to me that the debt is well covered, as indicated by the Current Ratio and Quick Ratio, among other indicators. Do you feel that ELD is in immanent danger, and that is why the price has been dropping so dramatically of late. If so, which indicators show that?

Thank you
