Investment Q&A

Q: Wow, big jump in stock price. Any new thoughts on adding to a small position?

Q: Confused about LMN. Results weren't great. 5i warned before market opened on Monday that direction of stock was in doubt so you suggested a hold rating. Then on Monday, LMN increases 11% on decent volume for the stock. What gives? What positives do others see? Did 'new' news come out? I realize being an off shoot of CSU is a big plus.

Q: Hi 5i Team - A link from Yahoo Finance on news for Lumine today took me to Simply Wall Street which raised three concerns for the company: 1) Earnings have declined by about 80% per year over the past 5 years; 2) Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year; 3) There has been significant insider selling over the past 3 months.
For number 1) how reliable is this information especially considering Lumine has only been around for less than two years. In fact how reliable is any of this information including the website itself. Could you provide your reaction to each of these three concerns. Thanks.

Q: As a follow up to my previous question on OTEX, I would also ask that you comment on analysts downgrades related to OTEX moving towards organic growth and away from growth by acquisition. Isn’t this simply a function of its low stock price relative to earnings and cash flow? If a growth-by acquisition company like CSU bought OTEX then it would be immediately accretive to earnings because CSU trading at a high PE multiple. The same analysts would applaud CSU for its ability to grow by acquisition and call the stock a buy. I am not saying that CSU is a bad company, far from it, but I am wondering if analysts would better serve investors by focusing more on the organic growth of a company and not on what it might acquire in the future.

Q: Both the Ceo and Cathie Wood's Ark have recently sold shares just prior to Q results on Nov 4 though each still hold lots of shares. Please inform the no. of shares each are holding after sale.Reportedly it has recently signed many contracts,both commercial and governmental,and Dan Ives has a $45 TP and called it the Messi of Ai YTD,it has increased some 154% and many analysts consider it very expensive.It is volatile especially after Q results.I have some 100% profit.and thinking of taking profit especially before Q results.Please provide u opinion.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: By my calculations, OTEX is trading at 8X forward earnings and 10% FCF yield. At current price it has a 3.5% dividend yield. According to TD Cowen's analysis the stock could see a 33% return over the next 12 months if it meets the low end of its forecast. So why are all the buy side analysts downgrading the stock or maintaining their hold rating? Isn’t it time to buy when there's blood on the street and you feel sick in your stomach? Has anything changed in its business fundamentals?

Q: Hello Peter,
Unless i misunderstood, the results for Topicus were good when compared to Lumine Group, yet Topicus barely moved a needle and Lumine Group actually went up .. Could this be due to Topicus European focus and investors are not as comfortable with European markets? Thanks very much

Q: Good day guys ..
appears the market is content with their latest results . U mentioned hold after the release . Are u very comfortable “ long term “ . If so .. why not just buy and not hold . Dollar cost averaging would be a logical here would it not ?
Thx
Mark

Q: The last question in the Q&A for CoStar Group was in June. Do you have any more recent thoughts? What do you think of it for a long-term hold?

Q: Can you do a head to head comparison between VRT and ANET as for as which one you would prefer going forward and why? Does one have a bigger risk of something going wrong (Yup I'm talking about you SMCI) than the other?
