Investment Q&A

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

Q: I note that one can now buy PANW via a CDR in Canada. In looking at PANW today, after the 28% drop in SP on Wed, there are at least 2 US law firms soliciting clients for a possible suit. The company didn't have a great quarter so they got punished. Not a crime. Market fluctuation. Price was lofty. Are these potential suits just noise that most companies deal with from time to time, or is there cause for concern? Wanting to buy at the discounted price, but should perhaps look elsewhere.

Q: Hi Peter et al:

Is RIVN dead?! Do you think Jeff Bezos will perform CPR........again?! My thesis getting into it with a small portion was that they had a "ready made" customer..i.e. Amazon warehouses and deliveries. That we were going to see RIVN vehicles everywhere in North America, delivering our stuff! Anyway, please gaze into your crystal ball and tell me if it will bounce at all. TSLA seems to have bounced nicely, eh?!

Q: In the last couple of days there has been a few references on BNN to some regulatory changes that will have the effect of reducing the rates paid on HISAs at banks, etc. Can you pls explain exactly what is happening and how much effect there will be from this? Last, are there reasonable alternatives (ie secure with good rates) available if the rates go down in any significant way? Thanks for your excellent service

Q: On January 9, 2024, LNTH reported preliminary Fiscal 2023 Revenue between $1.295 – $1.297B. The stock price dropped from $65.30 to around $51 over 10 days. Lantheus reported 4Q on February 22 and the stock price jumped 14.71%. 2023 Revenue was $1.3B. 2024 Revenue guidance is $1.41 - $1.445B, with Adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $6.50 - $6.70. This about 7% revenue and 4% - 7% EPS annual growth. Adjusted 4Q EPS was $1.47 beat estimate of $1.45. Using 2023 Adjusted EPS, the P/E is 9. My questions are:

1) The 14.71% price jump brought the stock price back up the level it was before January 9, 2024 announcement. I am trying to understand the market action – would you please explain or best guess?

2) In your answers to Kel question on February 7, 2024 and Neil’s question on January 9, 2024, it was mentioned LNTH growth rate has slowdown, “The company has been reinvesting heavily in the last two years to pursue growth.” The 4Q result and 2024 guidance confirm growth has slowdown. Is this a value trap? Do you think the stock price would be stagnant for awhile until growth is reestablish?

Thank you.

Q: 23% of my portfolio is invested in utilities (carefully selected stocks+ETFs + covered call ETfs (and some leveraged ETFs) for the following reasons: 1) dividends as revenue + various tax advantages 2) its seems to me that utilities are quite "essentials" in a society during crisis, even if interests are high 3) covered calls for revenue + to compensate for the actual high volatility + some protection for potentially down markets. Your opinion on this approach ,as any suggestion , shall be greatly appreciated ! regards Jean-Yves

Q: I have a question about HPS. This is a small company that seems to have recently come on your radar, noting staggering growth in a stable market. With this growth rate it is still small, just cresting the 1B market value recently.
What is making it so successful? It seems like a ‘boring’ low tech company. What is its future expected growth and what is its addressable market?
Any comments would be helpful to understand how electrical infrastructure widgets became such a big new thing.
