Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Thank you for advice over the 5 years we have been with you. Can you help us understand the negative momentum on TT. At this time the technical side is showing a possibility of $310 to $320 as a bottom but we don't have insight into the last two quarters in 2026 or 2027 and beyond. Their moat is large so the decline is somewhat of a mystery. We do not own the stock and are looking at purchasing it if it falls below $330.

Thank you for your help.

Q: I have a significant position on these 2 stocks .At this stage, and with accelerating loss ( 15%) on paper on arx,,would it be a "hold" ," buy more " or " sell " for each if safer dividends and investments are considered in the actual geopolitical context? Your excellent comments are always appreciated

Q: Constellation Software and Lumine Group were the only two companies in our Portfolio, which had a negative return during 2025, being a rare event after years of spectacular growth. Software stocks, in general, have also been weak, for past several months, due to AI related fears. Some market watchers are hopeful to see a recovery in software stocks, during 2026 and Tech-Software ETF was up in Wednesday's trading by 1.23%, against a flat tape at Nasdaq.

1. Do you believe that investors may shake off the concerns with Constellation Software group and shares could recover in 2026, from last year's steep losses ?

2. With our combined holding down to 10-12% (CSU 7%, TOI 2.5% and LMN 2.5%), due to price declines, and road to recovery at least a few quarters away ( plus a need to raise some cash), would it be wise to trim, across the board, or consolidate into one/two names and eliminate the other ?

Thank You

Q: Mawer Global Fund has just experienced a down year and I assume they are experiencing significant redemptions. December 2024 they paid a dividend of 20 cents per share. December 2025 they paid a dividend of $2.30 per share.

Is the large dividend simply an enticement to keep people invested? Why would they paid such a large dividend when they just experienced a year of less than stellar results?

Thank you

Paul

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Happy Healthy Peaceful and Prosperous New Year to all the members of your excellent team. Including the lovely folks at CMS/MF Update!

My first question of the year!

A really "tough" and bit unfair question!
How can anyone choose a "favourite" child amongst their four terrific "kids":)
But here it goes.

Which is your favourite "child" for this year's TFSA contribution. For a "buy and forget" period!
CSU or LMN or TOI or.....BN :)
I have them in varying amounts in different portfolios!
All of them are up though CSU and it's "family" have lost a lot of their lustre.

Look forward to another good year with your team.

Make Portfolio Analytics "bit more personal", then I will come on board there as well :)

Q: Happy New Year 5i Team - I noticed the category 'Hidden Gems' in a communication from sometime in the past. Would you be able to provide a list of a few stocks that might fit into this category now, solid companies that have sold off for whatever reasons in spite of solid fundamentals and good growth prospects, US and Canadian. Any market cap is fine but with emphasis on small and mid caps
Thanks.

Q: A question for Peter. NVDA, AXON and ISRG are examples of great companies, that you have followed and recommended for years. Which 2 or 3 companies do you have your eyes on, that may become the next group of great companies in the next 10-15 years. A brief explanation of why each of these companies may become great, would be appreciated. Thanks for this excellent service!
