Q: I am happily overweight both GOOG and NBIS (just over 8% each). For obvious reasons, I am loathe to reduce my holdings of either of these multi-baggers. If this were your portfolio, how large a holding of each would you be comfortable with? On a related note, please compare the risk/reward profile of both GOOG and NBIS to PNG and comment on the advisability of using potential proceeds from a partial sale of either to purchase a half position in this small Canadian stock. Thank you.

5i Research Answer:

We would probably cap NBIS at 6% and GOOG at 8%. GOOG is, by far, the least risky of all of these stocks discussed. Not only is it (much) cheaper, we take comfort in its $260M of daily cash flow, its buybacks, and its massive R&D spending. It has adapted to the threat of AI in search and has lots of potential in numerous areas. NBIS, with $5B cash and new giant contracts, is probably less risky than PNG overall. NBIS has other divisions, but for now it is running on AI/datacentres. If this sector falters, NBIS will be hit hard. But, revenue and earnings are set to surge over the next five years with contracts in place. PNG is still vulnerable to 'chunky' revenue from large contracts. But it is executing well and now has more cash which will appease concerned potential customers. If trimming the others, we would be quite comfortable adding some PNG for diversity.
