Investment Q&A

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

Q: I believe these 2 companies are in the same sector, Information Technology. Both are supposed to have weak performance in 2024. Do you consider one company better than the other? Do you agree that they are not competitor's, each having their own separate niche? Do you think COHR is a better run company than KEYS? COHR's share price seems to be acting better than KEYS which may have more to do with COHR's proximity to AI. I'm mulling over selling KEYS to buy more COHR. Already got lots of NVDA and SMCI. I see COHR's CEO is retiring, potentially increasing the risk profile of the company.
Not sure what to do!
Regards,
Jim

Q: What are your current thoughts on KEYS? I'm up 55% and thinking of buying some more, maybe increase my overall weighting to 5%. The latest numbers seem positive and I like that they are getting involved on EV battery testing and charging. EV battery charging seems to be a problem if you don't drive a Tesla. Probably would need to sell some NVDA to raise the USD which is not ideal but of course our NVDA weighting is too high. Also is KEYS an Industrial Company? Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: I am down about 30% with Keysight. I am thinking of selling it to harvest the loss and purchasing Qualcomm in place.

QCOM is much bigger and has a noticeably lower P/E (14.87 v. 27.10) somewhat better Price to Cash Flow (17.9 v. 21.3);

But QCOM has a higher P/B (12.18 v. 6.87) and while not worrisome, a noticeably higher Debt / Equity ratio( 1.8 v. 0.53).

Which matrix would you use to evaluate these 2 companies?

Which of the 2 do you see having a better prospect going forward?

Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: I'm interested in investing in 5G stocks. I sold my Keysight Technologies (KEYS) shares and would like to reinvest in the company. How would you rate KEYS at the current price and for the longer term? What are the other few other 5G companies and ETFs you would recommend to invest?

What do you think of CIEN (Ciena) stock which I own? Is it a very good stock with strong growth to hold for a long time? How would you rate CIEN with its major competitors? Which two or three companies (major competitors) you like in the same field?

Thank you.
