Investment Q&A

Q: Wondering your thoughts on SN? My investment thesis is below, curious on your take?

Healthy top line growth, past and future with 10 consecutive quarters of organic double-digit top-line growth as of Q3 2025, also raised sales guidance which includes very conservative tariff estimates (i.e. high tariff rates)

Trading at 16x NTM earnings and 14x 2 years estimated earnings
Forecasting to approximately double cash flow over next two years
Debt/Equity of 0.4 and low net debt slightly above next years forecast cash flow

Plays into K shaped economy theme focussing on mid to upper tier consumers with discretionary, "nice to have" items

Motivated and capable leadership (featured in Bloomberg Businesweek recently), this is also confirmed by gross margin expansion through cost reduction during a difficult year for trade


Excellent marketing engine with proven track record using multiple sales channels (DTC, celebrity partneships, etc.)

Lots of success with new product lines, 25 introduced in 2025 and 3 that were category disruptors
Planning to significantly expand in Europe
Systematically reducing supply chain reliance on China

What's the bear case?

Q: If you had to pick one, which would you buy and why?

Q: Paypal. Sell or Hold. I can use a writeoff, moreover, would like to Get better return. Your advice, always precious.
Thank you

Q: I don't like the way CDRs handle SPLITS "CIBC does not 'split' the CDRs in the typical sense. It instead adjusts the ratio of how many partial shares each CDR represents. This has been done now for NFLX."

Does it make sense to SELL my NFLX CDRs and BUY Regular NFLX on the Nasdaq??

Thanks for your amazing service!

Q: Can I get your opinion on these two companies and what you think of the long term prospects?
Thanks

Q: Hello Everyone,

May I have your thoughts on SMX:US (security matters) please? Talk about an absurd chart. Is there something real here in the premise of its molecular-level verification system that is permanent through the processing stages as a form of verification? Or is this more likely a pump and dump?

I only heard about it today, so I'm just staring to look into it and would appreciate your assessment. It's done 1000% in 2 days. Yikes.

Thank you,

Sandra

Q: I get an email from Seeking Alpha every once in a while touting various stocks and ETF's . I recently got one on GPIQ { not in your data base } with a rather glowing assessment . For brevity I will just quote their summary ......

" The Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF offers a compelling blend of capital appreciation and double-digit yield, amassing $2.12B AUM in just over two years.

GPIQ’s dynamic covered call strategy leaves upside partially uncapped, enabling strong monthly income and market-beating total returns compared to peer ETFs.

The ETF’s monthly distributions remain stable regardless of Fed rate changes, making GPIQ attractive for income investors in a declining rate environment.

While GPIQ carries risks tied to tech sector performance and execution, its
proven strategy positions it as a top choice for income-focused investors seeking growth. "

What is 5i's assessment of this ETF and why ? ..... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Knowing someone who works for Palantir I bought in at about 12$ in 2020. I am now seriously contemplating selling those shares for only one reason. The P/E is off the charts. I understand that there is a cult following around Alex Karp and Peter Thiel. However, does it make sense to own a company whose earnings per share are so far away from the cost of a share and where this difference only seems to increase over time.

Q: Hi 5i team,
Would you have any idea why Broadcom is so volatile? Lately it can have a range as much as $50 from one day to the next.
Thank you

Q: Hi, is RGTI Rigetti is a by now ?

Q: Please provide an analysis of the recent issuing of debt by GOOG. They have $100 billion of cash on the balance sheet and oodles of FCF. Feels like they shouldn't need to issue this debt. Do you feel it is a good move or is it concerning in any way?

Q: Michael Burry ( of The Big Short fame) has recently attracted much attention over his analysis and commentary on some the major AI companies. I was wondering whether you had conducted any review of his rationale and reasoning around his positioning

Q: Would you consider any of these stocks a buy?

Q: what is driving the run-up in LVS and is it sustainable?

Q: I have 300 NFLX.TO CDRs, but I don't see any SPLIT for them. How/When will the SPLIT be reflected? Thanks Kindly!

Q: XLV had a good run. Would you buy it here or wait for a pull back, Do you think that the healthcare sector has more momentum to the upside?
Thank. Cheers

Q: Hell 5i team,

Can you support a buy on EAT even after today's major uptick? Is comparable sales and foot traffic growth enough to support growth over the long term (3-5 years)?

Q: What U.S. companies would you recommend for a US $ TFSA ?

Q: Looking to add an AI stock in the next month or so to my TFSA. Is Nvidia a good one to hold for a time and if not then who?

Thanks for the service.

Q: Down significantly in the past 6 months, would this business be more reasonably valued now - and appropriate to step in at this point, to purchase for a long term hold?
