Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: hello 5i:
Years ago, we bought PANW as, back then, you considered it a "best of breed". We are not at all unhappy with results. But in continuing the "best of breed", do you see CRWD as being sufficiently "better enough" to warrant making a trade? This is not a short term hold. Can you also comment on the possibility of CRWD being acquired (doubtful that PANW) could or would be.
thanks

Q: Hi Everyone!
It seems to me that Quantum computing is of great interest , having read the following: “ …last Nov. Photonic inc, Xanadu and Nord Quantique advanced to the second stage of the Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, led by the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a military backed research program that aims to build a useable quantum computer by 2033.”
Are any of these companies considered investable by you or are there any others, or are things premature at the moment? It would be nice to get in early in a company with good potential.
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Hi 5i Research Team

Hope you’re having a wonderful Monday.

Quick question on Netflix (NFLX). Shares are around ~$90 and I’m debating whether it makes sense to start a position ahead of the next earnings release.

What are the key bull and bear drivers you’d be watching?

Is there anything in expectations/valuation right now that makes the risk/reward especially asymmetric one way or the other?

If you were interested, would you treat it as a starter position vs. a larger bet, and why?

Appreciate any perspective you can share.

Best,

Q: I’ve held The Trade Desk for a long time and it is at a very low price at the moment compared to historic prices, but it sounds like you're skeptical about its near-term growth potential. Should I look to exit? Between Crwd, ens, app, and png …which offers the highest growth ceiling for a five-year horizon? If you have another company to recommend, feel free … Thanks

Q: Good Morning 5i,

Thank you for advice over the 5 years we have been with you. Can you help us understand the negative momentum on TT. At this time the technical side is showing a possibility of $310 to $320 as a bottom but we don't have insight into the last two quarters in 2026 or 2027 and beyond. Their moat is large so the decline is somewhat of a mystery. We do not own the stock and are looking at purchasing it if it falls below $330.

Thank you for your help.

Q: Happy New Year 5i Team - I noticed the category 'Hidden Gems' in a communication from sometime in the past. Would you be able to provide a list of a few stocks that might fit into this category now, solid companies that have sold off for whatever reasons in spite of solid fundamentals and good growth prospects, US and Canadian. Any market cap is fine but with emphasis on small and mid caps
Thanks.
