Investment Q&A

Q: Can you explain why Nbis was up 29% in last 5 trading days?

Q: In your answer to Derek you mentioned GLXY is becoming the GS of crypto.

How does GLXY compare to COIN? How are they similar ? How are they different?

What other companies compete with GLXY? How serious a threat are thy to GLXY?

Thanks,

Q: What do you think about the loan offering just announced by NBIS?

What kind of impact do you think this will this have on share price in the coming 2 years? Is it something to be concerned about? (ie.... is NBIS doing something similar to Coreweave?)

Q: If you believe that the AI bubble will burst this year how might you position your portfolio to profit? I imagine picking defensive names, not owning companies with direct AI exposure, and owning precious metals is a start. If the bubble burst I would assume this would trigger a broader market selloff so not sure if there is a lot of places to hide. Would you consider any Put option strategies? Are there any other sectors/companies that would actually benefit from the bubble bursting? Thanks

Q: Hi, my question is; if one is to by today in the crypto space knowing all are volatile but looking for maximum return during this cycle with a long term hold. best opportunity to least

Thanks Dave

Q: 5i, How do you see the next 6/12 months, do you see a slowdown for the US or Canadian marktes?, would you stay fully invested in AI companies? and Can you suggest AI enablers (picks and shovels). Please take as many credits as you see fit. Thank you!

Q: Jim Chanos has expressed the opinion that NBIS and CRWV are capital intensive, low margin, and high risk investments. Your comments much appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Greetings 5i, which companies do you consider to be NBIS's closest competitors? Out of this "peer group" how many of them do you think it is necessary to own to reap the benefits from exposure to the industry? Thank you.

Q: corweave and nebius both got hammered in november, i know you had nebius as a top pick when you were on bnn.it went straight up then straight doen.
which do you prefer now and why.would you buy both or stay away. dave

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have been researching the financing models of neocloud operators. It appears that these companies are financing their GPU infrastructure investments at capital costs that significantly exceed their return on invested capital (ROIC). In other words, their cost of capital is materially higher than their ROIC, resulting in a value destruction dynamic where each dollar of new capital deployed actually destroys economic value rather than creating it.

This situation raises questions about sustainability:

1. How are CoreWeave, Nebius, and similar operators financing these substantial infrastructure buildouts, given the mismatch between capital costs and ROIC? Is this model sustainable in the long term, or does it rely on continuous refinancing and favourable market sentiment?

2. Considering Galaxy Digital's recent announcements regarding data center partnerships and infrastructure initiatives, how exposed is Galaxy Digital to these neocloud operators? What percentage of GLXY's revenue or growth expectations is tied to these relationships?

3. If the neocloud financing model proves unsustainable, meaning operators like CoreWeave or Nebius encounter difficulties with refinancing or solvency, what impact would that have on Galaxy Digital's business and financial projections?

I would appreciate your perspective on whether this concern regarding capital structure is reflected in GLXY's valuation, or if it poses an underappreciated risk for investors.

Thank you for your continued insights and research.

Best regards,

Matt

Q: I listened to an interview on BNN (link at end if you want to include it in post) in which a prominent analyst tore into the CRWV model. His take is that they are borrowing money to build data centres and that the return from those centres is half the cost of what they borrowed to build them. He further states that companies like GOOG and META are building their own capacity with cash on hand and taking advantage of Coreweave for cheap capacity. His thesis is bankruptcy within a few years.

My question (and it applies to NBIS too) is that you either agree or play devil's advocate to his thesis and explain why he is correct or incorrect. It's just one analyst and of course there are two sides to every trade but is there a clear path to creating strong returns on these data centre investments or are they in fact spending money just to lose money? If he is correct on CRWV, is NBIS different?
Thanks

Q: hi folks...Coreweave crwv/q getting hit 10+% on Q results (seemed pretty good), but miss on guidance...does it seem a market over reaction, and a good entry in low $90's, I have a full position in both nbis & nvda, thx as always, jb

Q: hi,
can I get Peter's thoughts on the "circular" financing of AI deals going on please. can he compare this to the same phenomenon that was going on in the Dotcom bubble. Does Peter think this is starting to look like the companies propping up the AI theme overall? when an average investor looks into what these companies are involved in, one does not get much confidence in their "leaders" honesty and morality, which could lead an average investor to believe things are being manipulated.
cheers, Chris

Q: Recently, the tech market has been booming. During this period, I bought several volatile, high-flying stocks to capture the thrill of the momentum. Each position is relatively small—only about 0.5% to 1% of my portfolio. Despite that, they’re performing exceptionally well. I purchased them less than a few weeks ago, and I’m already seeing a total gain of around 20%.

My question is: are these stocks worth holding for the long term? I’d love to hear your thoughts. Also, could you rank the potential and strength of these six companies: CoreWeave, Galaxy, Circle, Bitmine, Monday.com, and AST SpaceMobile? Thank you.

Q: hi folks, with Nvidia's $100B investment in A.I. .....besides the obvious players like Coreweave, Nebius, Glxy, Tssi, etc...can U recommend any smaller players, flying under the radar, that 5i like/hold....or would you stick with, and add to the main players...thanks as always, jb

Q: Hi Peter,

I have a question about Nvidia’s proposed $100 billion investment in OpenAI. From my understanding, the funds will be used to purchase Nvidia’s own GPUs. How should investors interpret this circular funding in terms of valuation integrity and long-term sustainability? Does it raise red flags about inflated revenue or distorted market signals? Considering the deep entanglement between Nvidia, OpenAI, and Microsoft, at what point does this trio resemble a functional monopoly in the AI ecosystem? If it walks and quacks like a duck, it is a duck! Is it time for regulators or competitors like Google and AMD to step in and balance the power? I doubt the government knows or will to do anything. I would love to hear your perspective.

Best,
Matt

Q: Hi 5i!
Respecting these are two very different companies, do you feel they both have a strong growth story ahead and are a compelling buy today?

Do you prefer one over the other?

Thanks for all you do! Your guidance has been appreciated over the years!

Q: Wow….up $30 this morning on $17 billion contract with Microsoft. Can it surpass Coreweave? How far can this baby go up.
And thank you! Nebius is paying for a winter vacation!

Q: CoreWeave has dropped to $88. At what price do you think it starts to look compelling? Would love to hear your thoughts—thanks!

Q: Sorry, yet again another NBIS & CRWV question.

You say you prefer NBIS over CRWV because of valuation. But I'm also curious if you are a fan of their other non-"Nebius AI" product like Toloka, TripleTen, AvRide.

Seems CRWV is more of a pureplay on what Nebius AI does?
