Investment Q&A

Q: I am investigating CLS as a potential long term investment. In a recent answer to a question, 5i stated that CLS seems to be putting things together much better now. What is CLS putting together much better now, and is it sustainable? How important is AI, to CLS future share price? Could you elaborate on the most major risk to CLS share price? Would you consider CLS a good hold for five plus years?? Thanks for the excellent analysis!

Q: One of the great things about CSU that makes them “investor friendly” is that they don’t issue shares. If they aren’t raising capital by selling shares, what’s the benefit to the board/company being publicly traded?

Q: Looking to sell some Amazon and add Google.

Do you think Google can rebound in the short to medium term? Is there any indication that suggest an improvement in AI offerings? Do you think it's a buy given current valuations or do you think the stock has further to drop?

Q: Does Apple’s giving up on Project Titan make you wonder their vision and research ability is subpar? Now they are switching to AI … seems to me they were following the crowd several years ago on EV and are now following the crowd on AI. Maybe a few years later they will give up on AI. Where is their vision? Thanks,

Q: My tech stocks have had a great run and it's time to trim as they are now about 33% of my portfolio. Can you please rank the above stocks along with SMCI (watching for a pullback in that one). I also have GOOG and AMZN. Do you think they are too closely related as well?

Q: Please comment on the financial results of ACM Research (ACMR); your outlook for the company; and whether you'd consider it buyable. Thanks.

Q: Could you please comment on their results and outlook?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: I am anxiously waiting for the earnings report. Do you know when it will be? Why is it so hard to find out when it reports?
Thanks

Q: Hello team,

Why would a company such as Docebo be priced so expensively in terms of P/E and price to sales and what about the major competitors in the LMS domain, do they also trade so expensively?

Q: Q: Hi, Could you please comment on C3AI earnings. Thank you

Q: Buy more, sell or hold.

Thanks!

Q: Hi Team, Thanks for your wonderful work on i5Research.
NVDIA stock jumped right after earnings report last week. This week it has dropped in price every day, even though analyst are targeting up to 1000-1200$ in the near future.
With the recent deep in NVDA is this a good time to buy NVDA stock or call options? Or is it a falling knife?
Thanks
DP

Q: How do you feel about Kinaxis moving forward after going over their results?

Q: Opinions on these two companies. Looks like Intel created a foundry division in which Cadence will be assisting Intel with designing and producing new chips. From my reading Microsoft is also involved and wondering if this may be a strategy to decrease reliance on Taiwan semiconductor and increase "home grown" chip manufacturing.
Do you think Intel can find some momentum from the AI surge and this strategy?
Is Cadence a viable way to get involved in the "back door" of the AI surge? Do you have other preferences that provide the same services?
Thank you.

Q: I do wonder if you could comment on the recent news releases in regard to Cadance and Intel foundry systems. I just started researching this and am going to admit a lot of this is over my head and comprehension. From my initial readings it looks like Microsoft has joined in on this as well, so looks like Intel, Cadence and Microsoft are in an initiative in the AI space. Is there a possibility that Intel may get some legs in this AI surge as well? The share price of this stock has certainly not soared like others in this sector. Wondering if the Microsoft relationship will have some impact on the future performance of Intel?
Could this be a way for Microsoft to lessen it's dependence on NVDA?

Q: "History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes". Does the AI/tech surge remind Peter of anything in the markets before in history? If so, how does it all end?

Q: What’s the best strategy to purchase Vrt? It doesn’t seem to be pulling back much?

Q: CSCO reported miserable earnings on February 15 and guidance was also poor. I understand the company will also raise more debt. I am not clear on the company’s reasoning for yet more debt. CSCO was added to AAII’s “stock super stars” list in February 2016 under its “good values” strategy. I was thinking of selling CSCO last year but held off when I saw the business was added to Morgan Stanley’s global dividend portfolio in June 2023. I continued to on to CSCO, especially as hardly any of my other holdings pay dividends. Given CSCO’s latest report and guidance, is it worth holding on to CSCO for investors whose folio is all US, and who are getting concerned that their folio generates little dividend.

If its worth holding on to CSCO, please comment on the company’s business model, the strength or not of its suite of security products. Please also comment on CSCO’s PEG ratio, its debt to equity in addition to its competitive position and moat referenced above. Many thanks.

Q: If you had to put a value on SMCI today based on it's fundamentals and earnings potential what price range would you put on it?

Thanks in advance.

Q: I have a question about Topicus.com Inc

Do you still regard TOI as favourably as you did in March 2023 and consider it to be growing as rapidly in the European theatre as CSU does in North America?
