Investment Q&A

Q: In the past I have not been a buy and hold investor in commodities. I try to purchase cyclical stocks when they are out of favour and sell when I have made some money with the thought that they will eventually be "on sale" again in the future to buy back in. I have been patient and have held CS, Teck,B, HBM and LUN for a few years and have done really well on them all, especially recently. Is it time to cash in and be thankful for the gains or is the underlying demand for copper (and other materials) strong enough to continue this outperformance. Hold, Sell or buy more? Curious what you would be doing in this case.

Second question - Flutter took a hit because of investor concerns over competition from the prediction market platform Kalshi. Is this a serious threat to Flutter or is the market big enough for all? Are you still as bullish on FLUT as you used to be? Stock has teased us with some nice runs up but seems to fall back.

Thanks for all you do, couldn't be happier.

Q: GENI/SRAD Taking a bit of a hit today. Still up huge on the year obviously but is this decline a buying opportunity for someone looking to build a full position? What news or factors have created this decline?

Q: What 2 Sports gaming companies and 2 ETF's do you recommend?

Q: What do you think of Flutter earnings and the stock going forward?

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have small positions in the following three gaming sector companies: Genius Sports, Sportradar, Flutter Entertainment. Am wondering if I need to have all three of these companies and if I should consolidate into two of them. If so, which two of the three would you keep. Is there a significant difference between the three - maybe consolidation is not necessary.
As an afterthought, is Fan Duel likely to become publicly traded.
Thanks.

Q: I am heavily tech weighted and am considering selling my entire position in NVDA and some CRWD as I have large gains in both. I would use the proceeds to buy positions in FLUT and SYK. I would still have position in AMZN, ASML, CRWD, GOOG, META, MSFT and VRT.

Any other suggestions?

Thank you.

Q: Considering to initiate a position into Draftking. Which one do you prefer between it and Flutter and why?

Happy mew year to all the team and others members!

Q: Can you explain the financial position, valuation metrics and growth prospects of this gambling company?
I'm considering a small position after reading an article in The Economist about the massive growth of gambling in America
(https://www.economist.com/leaders/2024/12/05/americas-gambling-boom-should-be-celebrated-not-feared)
Is now a good time to buy the stock or would you wait for a pullback?

Q: Greetings:
I received some shares in Penn in the takeover of Score Media. They are not doing anything. Any chance of a turnaround or move on? What could I replace it with?
Thanks, Ben.

Q: Your thoughts please on the latest quarter?

Thx

Q: Can I get an updated view of FLUT? I am admittedly not a fan of sports betting ads all over TV, but can’t seem to shake they are likely making a lot of money.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Would you still endorse a purchase of TMDX, CLBT, ASPN and CPH? When looking at the recent momentum of FLUT and DUOL would you still be buyers of these companies? What would be your order of preference if you were buying today?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: Hi there, may I please have your quick thoughts on results for FLUT, SPB and WELL?

Thanks!

Q: I bought FLUT shares when they listed in the US thinking they have strength in being the largest international company in sports gambling. Worried to hear recently that they might IPO FanDuel independently from FAN and thus potentially split the interest amongst 2 stock choices and dilute the FAN price. Notes from today’s strong earnings report stated that ‘ Jackson (CEO) said he had no plans to rename the company FanDuel or pursue an initial public offering of that business, something he once considered’. If that statement can be taken on face value, do you see FAN as being more attractive previous to the earnings and that revised strategy?

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Flutter Entertainment including your opinion on purchasing it at its recent price. Also you mentioned in a previous answer in May that the passing of a progressive tax on online sports betting in the Illinois senate was bringing the sector down. Do you think this is still a concern for Flutter and that other states may follow suit.

Also any idea on when Fan Duel might be spun out. My understanding is that shareholders will not receive shares in Fan Duel. Is this correct.

Thanks.

Q: Looking to strictly optimize growth over next 3-5 years. Please rank potential of these favourites from current valuations: TIH, URI, ULTA, BKNG, UBER, ESTC, ASPN, FLUT, CROX, TRI, TFII

Q: As per Hussein's recent question, I too was under the impression that the Flutter listing on the LSE was moving to the NYSE and our shares, if they were on the LSE would be moved to the NYSE automtically. Is my understanding wrong and they are in fact going to continue with listings on both the LSE and NYSE??

Q: Hi there, can you please provide an update on FLUT, getting hit hard today based on news.

Also, will flutter shares listed on the LSE now be transferred over to the NYSE only?

Any other thoughts or information you can provide regarding FLUT will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Q: Does FLUT seem like a strong buy given today’s earnings report and recent move to the US stock exchange? Will FLUT shareholders be rewarded or potentially hurt with an IPO for FanDuel?

Q: I acknowledge that timing a revenue growth inflection is a fraught undertaking. Could you suggest one or two stocks that you believe have the best opportunity and your thinking.
