Investment Q&A

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?

Q: looking to move on from the name. looking to use to fund to buy Tempus Ai, Zedcor or NBIS?

with the hardware AI theme loosing steam and AI software picking up what other names in the US look attractive?

Q: I remember 20 years ago when I was in university, my brother and I would always say if only we had bought Apple last year because now it’s way too expensive. I have a feeling Shopify now may be a similar situation… That is why I have been accumulating at higher and still higher share prices…

Thank you 5i

Q: SHOP was all over the map yesterday. Started premarket at $US 123, then down to 109 after results released, then rose through afternoon and closed at 123 on HUGE volume. I see this morning on TD there have been 14 analysts weighing in this week with 9 buys and 5 holds. Can you parse through all this and provide what you feel is happening now and will happen going forward. There is no doubt SHOP is the real thing but how does this translate to stock performance?

Q: Helping my young son with his TFSA; we bought CLS in late October based on your positive comments and recently sold enough shares near the high to get back his original investment. Now considering either TOI or LMN. Which stock would you choose and why? I'm favoring LMN but worried about the negative momentum at the moment. Thanks!

Q: If the Globe is to be believed Apple owns 20% of Globalstar courtesy of a USD 1.5 Billion financing. Globalstar in turn has added $750 million (CAD?) to MDA’s existing contract to build satellites for Globalstar. The satellites will be manufactured in Montreal presumably tariff free provided I suppose they don’t use a US launch site.Do you know if there are Canadian launch sites/companies? Is Magellan Aerospace a candidate? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Can I please have your thoughts on VRT earnings. Do you think it is a good time to initiate a position? Thank-you.

Q: Is Descartes stock getting expensive or the valuation is reasonable, considering their growth prospects and US policy towards tariff / possible trade wars?

We have been wanting to own this co. for past few years, but stock keeps moving higher. Would you be comfortable starting a new position now, or wait for a pullback ?
Also can you suggest an entry level, please.

Thank You
