Investment Q&A

Q: CLS: heading down - still very high P.E., very high price to C.F. etc. Selling due in part to profit taking for year-end? Lofty price going into 2026 of $600.00 per share? Buy for TFSA 100 shares? Risk vs potential as I do not follow this one and know very little about tech.

Q: First and foremost Season's greatings and thank you very much for the support.

Following up on Joel's question from December 15th. I agree that subsidiaries will seek to integrate the use of AI into their processes in order to maintain and perhaps ultimately improve their margins, but this will have a direct impact on short-term profitability (e.g., one year). How can Constellation justify the multiple they are currently supporting with declining margins? The only way I see to improve profits would be to substantially increase accretive acquisitions during the transition. For my part, Constellation was my largest position and has lost a lot of value, even though I'm still up 200%. I'm really worried about what to do with my investment. How many quarters do you think I should wait before knowing more?


Thanks for your help.

Q: What should your members be looking for with the CSU family of stocks that the worst is over, Are there technical signs volume washouts or other signs the market negativity is declining?

Thx

Q: Few days ago I asked about DIS.
Now please provide your view on Netflix, with or without the WB deal and what sort of impact it would have on the stock in both outcomes

Q: AI related spending/margin concerns have hit the market over past week and CLS has declined to below $400, again.

Any concerns ? Do you still expect the stock to trade to $500 over 12-18 months ?

Is it safe to add now or wait for a further pull back ?

Thanks

Q: Good morning,

SE's downward trend continues and I'm contemplating a sell. I noticed that 5i has not had any questions on it since late October and I'm wondering about your current thoughts. If I choose to replace it, can you give me any three high conviction stock ideas that you feel may have strong momentum or bounce potential from current prices (any sector). Thank you. Brad

Q: Hello, I invested in the ETF BUG about a year ago. I had compared it to HACK and thought that BUG was more a pure play on cybersecurity than HACK, which has AVGO, NOC and GD as top 10 holdings (AVGO at #1 with 12%). After a year, BUG has barely moved whereas HACK has moved over 10%, probably because of the 3 stocks I mentioned. To what extend these 3 stocks belong in a cybersecurity ETF? If so, should I switch to HACK? Do you believe these 3 stocks will still perform very well in the years ahead? I have plenty of NVDA, so it was never my intention to buy AVGO on its own. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i!

I have held VRT for 2.5 years and done well and have a full position in it. It has drifted lower as AI waffles around and other AI related players get more attention.
Do you see VRT as a “must own” for the space or do you have another stock in this space with more momentum and growth potential?

Also, Would you endorse selling a half position of VRT to buy ENS?

Sending all you fine folks at 5i the warmest wishes for the holidays. Thank you for all of your guidance throughout the years. It is appreciated. Enjoy some time off!

Q: These 2 stocks have done really well.

5i reccommended TSAT in a recent portfolio update and is now approx $6 higher than when you recommended it. Moved nicely on the govt contract news etc. My question here is what would you reccommend to enter this stock. A) Buy it at market now, B) Average in 1/3 at a time C) Sell an April 30 put at approx $3.5? or D) just wait out the volatility and buy it at a stink price between 25 and 30?

Secondly on a Tom Lee podcast he waxed eloquent about SATS and told listeners that if they don't own it go and buy it. Doesn't do that often with individual stocks. What is your opinion of SATS, it has really come a long way too this year. Would you consider it a buy?

With many thanks

Sheldon

Q: High level and subjective question about CSU. They historically bought mature slow growth SASS businesses with very little organic growth. Now the market perceives a risk that AI will disrupt their businesses. CSU will need to innovate rapidly to meet this challenge, BUT, CSU does not have a culture of innovation. Do you think CSU can rapidly become innovative at scale when that is so far from their core competency? Do they have the DNA to innovate AI into their businesses?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Guys,
I've noticed that NBIS has variously been top, mid and lower mid in your growth rankings for US stocks depending on the day. How are you feeling about its prospects these days - both for a 2 year, 5 year and 10 year horizon?
Thanks so much and hope you are all moving into great holidays soon!

Q: At what price would you initiate a position in these stocks or would you avoid any or all of these?
Thank you

Q: Hello, I know 5i like both companies but if only one could be purchased which one would be best going out 3 years. CSU has lost some momentum in the last year and CLS seems to be chugging along nicely. Thank you

Q: Seasons Greetings,

1) What do you make of the recent numbers?
2) Would you buy it for a 3 year hold or will AI be nibbling away at it's breakfast, lunch and dinner?
3) If so, what sort of price would be attractive bearing in mind it seems to have pulled out of it's nose dive with a more positive 2 week chart?

All the best,

Q: I have a half position in this stock ET.CA which when asked in the past you have said there is no growth so might want to let it go, and so because of the div, I just left it to go back up. Today they announced a special div. Will the stock typically go down after the dividend has been paid out Dec 18th? And if I should sell, would I need to hold to the 19th to get the special Dividend and then sell? When is the best time to sell? Or is the company doing a turn around and it's worth to hang on? If they are doing better, I'm happy to keep it or could move on, and then what would I replace it with.? Please advise.

Q: Good morning,

Aeluema, which I can’t find in the database has come off of its latest decline.

It is tied with lidar, sem’s, quantum. Would you please give your assessment on this company in its present state as a speculative starter position.

Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
Is CLS plummeting on Avgo results? Also why the negative reaction on Avgo with the earnings beat? I am not liking this market particularly tech. Any reason to sell off growth names right now it seems to happen with very little new catalysts in sight. Is it time to diversify away from tech with the portfolio already down approx 12% from highs. Or just ride out these growth names as usual? Thx

Shane

Q: Thoughts on earnings report/outlook?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
Between CLS and ANET which company would you currently invest for future stock appreciation? Say 5+ year time frame.
Thanks so much for your always stellar advice.
