Investment Q&A

Q: Can you give me 3 US strong conviction growth stocks in tech?
Thank You

Q: Cloudflare stock is down 17% pre market (Feb 19,2205). I have always liked the stock but never bought because it's too expensive. Would this be a good entry point to start a position?

Q: Thoughts on Anet ? Thank You

Q: Long term owner of KXS. Happy to be a patient long term investor as long as the investment thesis is not deteriorating. Are you seeing any signs in their numbers that KXS business is deteriorating or getting disrupted? Revenue growth, margins, new customers, any other metrics that you feel are relevant to the question.

Thanks.

Q: DEFI was trading around 10c little over a year ago. Is the 50x increase justified?
Interesting company, I am just wondering.

Q: My research points to many experts believing that the semiconductor chips will be shifting from NVIDIAs current offerings to cheaper custom silicon, setting up many of the names like AVGO, MRVL, QCOM,AMD and ARM well. Out of these names, which ones would you own, based on price and growth potential.

Are any of these resonably priced at this time and can be bought immediately or shoud I wait for a pullback.

Lastly, seems like NVIDIA has sold part of its ARM ownership today. Is ARM still a name you like and at what price level does it become a resonable buy. Thanks!!

Q: I took an initial position in Nebius in mid January with the thought of test-driving it for a few months before adding more. I’ve seen a tremendous rebound in Nebius since Deepseek shook the tech and energy supplier stocks. In fact, the rebound has been so strong I find I’m starting to struggle with FOMO impulses. Patience is one thing but seeing the stock perform for the very reasons I bought in is making me question a lengthier timeline to get to my intended full position.
My question is twofold: 1) Why is this stock performing so well given recent volatility in tech stocks?
2) If this was your money, would Nebius’ recent performance encourage you to accelerate your timeline to get to a full position?
I realize the simple answer is if one wants to get to a full position, then go for it. My thinking, however, is 5i members might find it instructive to hear how an experienced stock analyst would process this decision. Thanks so much for your advice!

Q: Is this stock too volatile to initiate a position?

Q: Previously, I noticed that the 5i team held SMCI stock, which was sold during the downturn. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the recent earnings release and the company's future prospects. Is SMCI a buy or hold at this point? Your insight is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Q: Hi, am I late to the CLS party? Thank you.

Q: These two (especially SERV) are tanking this A.M, presumably because of the news that NVDA has dissolved their position in both. My initial thoughts are that this changes nothing of substance for the company (SERV) itself, and especially that it still has its deal with UBER. Of course substance and sentiment are separate animals. In general how does one play this? Do you wait a few days and see what transpires, buy more? Sell? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Would you be comfortable with owning a full position in both Nvidia and Broadcom?

How much overlap is there between their separate businesses?

Q: Hi 5i
What is market expecting from panw earnings today, Thursday and would you be comfortable holding going into earnings?

Who are their main competitors and where would you rank them in comparison.
Would 5i be interested in them and at what price ?
thx

Q: CLS or CSU - which one would you buy today?

Q: Good Morning,

Please comment on Robinhood's latest earnings.

Thank you.

Q: Thoughts on earnings?

Specifically I want to ask about these three line items from full year 2024 earnings:

"Total revenue increased 62% year-over-year to $1.3 billion, Ad revenue increased 50% year-over-year to $1.2 billion, and Other revenue reached $114.7 million

Gross margin was 90.5%, an improvement of 430 basis points from the prior year

Free Cash Flow was $215.8 million and capital expenditures were $6.2 million, less than 1% of revenue"

With gross margin being high and Cap-ex being incredibly low; is there something I am missing or is Reddit likely to be very profitable now that the baggage on the books from the IPO is behind them?

How is cap-ex so low? Is that mostly a result of their website having volunteer moderators?

Thanks.

Q: Hi can you please comment on earnings and possible reason for the reaction in after hours trading? as down almost 20% at one point, today looks like it's recovered almost back to yesterday's levels.
and
Seems like not many questions/discussions on 5i about this stock? surprising given it's performance and growth potential.

Q: Hi 5i!

Can you comment CRNT and ACLS earnings?

Thank you

Q: Hi Team,
TTD is plunging after earnings so far this afternoon. What's your take? Has the outlook here soured that quickly? Would you be a buyer, seller, or hold into this extreme weakness?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Why did it take such a tumble on Wednesday?
