Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i team,
I follow a number of communications and 5G stocks. CLFD rose 13% yesterday but I see no news on it. As I understand it, CLFD is more or less a picks and shovels player for fibre networks, providing the glass enclosure. So, I do not know if it has any competitive advantages or not. I just thought I would get your opinion on it. I do not see it in your database.
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave

Q: Wondering if 5i has any thoughts on this company. I noticed they signed a joint development agreement recently with "an industry leader" but I can't find any news on which chip maker. I'm assuming if this gives one chip maker an edge, others will have to sign on as well?
