Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i team,

I’m reading about a thesis and would love your view on it.

The idea is that today’s AI compute scarcity is temporary, kind of like the telecom/bandwidth bubble in the late 1990s. As inference costs keep falling over the next few years, I think the real value will shift from the infrastructure layer (GPUs, hyperscalers, data centers) to the application layer.

However, not every application-layer company will benefit. The ones whose moat is the AI itself could actually get hurt as models become cheap and everywhere. The real winners should be companies with moats that don’t depend on model quality — things like regulated workflows, payment rails, proprietary data, deep system integrations, or network effects. For these companies, cheaper compute should expand margins instead of creating new competition.

Two questions:
1. Does this thesis make sense to you, or do you see any flaws in the logic?
2. In your coverage universe, which names best fit the idea of “moat is the workflow / data / distribution, not the AI itself” and which names’ AI itself ‘might get hurt?

Thanks,
Matt

Q: Would selling LMN at a loss and buying CSU right away be ok to avoid triggering superficial loss?

Q: As a follow up to my last question, would you think even buying CSU, is a good idea for a retiree at this point?

thanks

Q: Do you see FLY as more opportunistic at these price points than the following AI exposed companies? NBIS, TER, CLS, MU

For the sake of diversifying, which of the 4 companies would you sell for FLY? If any..

Conviction rating for each please ? 3-5 year hold.

Thanks

Q: How important is the space theme today in your opinion?
I am acquainted with a US lawyer who specializes in space, thus there are legalities involved out there.

Please advise your recommendations with some analysis.(3 or so)

Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i team,
I sold topicus near its high last year and was thinking of getting back in. What are your thoughts on it's current status? Being in the balance portfolio, are you still good with it long term? This is more to add another tech stock for sector balance. Are there other equity suggestions?
Thank you,
Andrew

Q: Looking at these 4 as confirmation of AI buildout. Do you agree? If so, would you advise taking position individually [please rank] or as a package [equal weight]? Or, on a risk/reward assessment, please recommend better investment choice for AI buildout [stocks or ETFs]. Thanks

Thank You
Peter

Q: Could you please comment on their latest earnings and the market reaction? Thank you

Q: Hello Team,

What do you think of PL and its valuation now. The stock has been on a tear. Is it still burning through too much cash? How far are they from profitability? What rating do give their balance sheet? Would you invest in it today despite its very high valuation? Or will you wait for it to consolidate? Do you think that will happen after the War with Iran?

Would FLY be a good compliment to PL, given the increased interest in all things space? Or would invest in one only?

I appreciate your unbiased insight, Always! :)

Q: Can you comment on the investment potential of this name?

Is there any news that accounts for the drop?

Thanks

Q: I notice that csu and it's affiliates are falling today. I imagine that this is related to Service Now's results and prognosis for the future. It seems that this fear of software is really sticky and never goes away. Many of us are a bit paralyzed by this. How do you see it and would you still currently invest in country?
With appreciation
