Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team - A guest on Market Call today stated that Shopify is trading at 100 times next year's earnings with anticipated revenue growth of 22%, Could you comment on the accuracy of these figures and your view on whether its shares may be over-valued at this time. Any other comments on its stock price and fundamentals would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Greetings 5i, I am considering selling CAE and reinvesting the proceeds in MDA. Based on stability, current valuation and runway for future growth, what is your opinion please on this swap? Thank you.

Q: Would you be comfortable holding Applovin for a 3+ year hold? I managed to buy it near the high but I was planning on holding it. I suppose ups and downs go with a high octane stock like this one.

I also wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and holiday season. Thank you for all your help this past year!

Q: Could you please provide your current thoughts on taking a position in this company. Technically, it seems to have bottomed after a long steady decline. The recent CPKC announcement is encouraging. How is their balance sheet.
Thinking about a TFSA investment. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for all the help you provide to the retail investor!!

Q: The total portfolio holds both AVGO (2.88% of total portfolio) and NVDA (3.20%) and both are in the sub-industry of "semiconductors". AVGO is considered to be analog semiconductor devices and MVDA is considered to be marketing graphic mobile processes. My question is are these two stocks substantially different that both should be held or not? Also what is the maximum weight to be held for AVGO?
.....Many thanks for your insights.....Tom

Q: Could I please get your thoughts on Apple’s recent announcement that they will start using their own inhouse developed modem to replace the presently used Qualcomm modem. I presently have a 50% gain. At this time would you recommend Sell, Hold or Buy. Thanks … Cal

Q: Given all the negative news and the recent "retirement" of the CEO, what are your thoughts now on INTC? Has the last shoe finally dropped or can it get worse? Hard to believe the US gov would let the company dissolve given its desire to maintain leadership in chip design and production (although INTC has not been a leader in either for some time). Is this stock worth buying as a (gradual) recovery play or as a takeover target? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

Currently hold shares of INTC at a loss and have held the stock for a few years.

Purchased the stock on the thesis that Pat Gelsinger would potentially execute his his plan to build additional foundry's in North America as an alternate to TSMC. Tailwinds of "on shoring" government incentives and the growing "AI boom" market lead me to believe that this was feasible.

Given Pat Gelsinger is now retiring and INTC execution issues I no longer believe that will be the case. I have held on to the stock for now due to the low valuation and the potential that it would be broken up and sold off.

Would appreciate you thoughts on whether or not it makes sense to hold onto.

Would also appreciate your thoughts on potentially switching from INTC to ASML.

Thank you,

Greg C.

Q: Can you provide any info on this one?

Q: Wow. Is the market rational?
I find it's certainly getting far more explosive in qtrly reaction (up or down).

I am happy with this (what I think is) wild crazy lift in 1 day as Docu has morphed into a 'normal' software company (as in, making $, having profit, high GM) vs hype of 'future $'.

But, stepping back. To me, it is now trading at a "fair" valuation based on 8-10% rev growth and now >20PE.
How do you like how this company has turned itself around ? Do you think this move is simply a catch up or do you see a fundamental re-thinking of docu and there is more room for stock price re rating?
30% in one day? wow.

Q: In regard's MRVL's last question on Sept 27 you noted a sales decline. I understand they reported on December 4 and seem to have done well. Is sales growth still negative year over year and is it's forward PE ratio still with-in reason? I suppose they are a competitor of NVDA which may be a risk more than an asset even if its chips are cheaper than NVDA's. Have they invented a better chip or is there anything about them which is better than NVDA other than price? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: What do you think is a better investment in terms of growth for the next year or so, NVIDIA or NBIS? Do you think we should wait for a pullback in NBIS?

Q: Any particular reason why SHOP is up so much today?

Q: What does the market expect from Enghouse next week?

Thx

Q: I was reading online about how Citron Research has been charged with pumping and dumping stocks before. They are currently tweeting positive things about this stock (even though they are a short seller). What do you think is the likelihood of them putting out a short report and shorting it after their positive tweets?

Q: Please provide an updated opinion on ACM Research. Do you see it as having strong growth going forward?

Q: Any idea why Sentinel one dropped 13% today

Q: Hello 5i
SOUNDHOUND is up 230’ish % since the last question was asked on July 2/24. Can you please give an updated opinion? Is it all hype and no substance or starting to get traction?
Thank you
