Investment Q&A

Q: If a giant like OpenAI is choosing to work with The Trade Desk instead of building their own ad tech from scratch, does that prove TTD has a 'moat' that even the best AI companies can't cross? Also, seeing that Jeff Green personally bought $148 million in stock the same week this news leaked—does that suggest this partnership is a much bigger deal for their 2026 growth than the market originally thought?

Q: Hello, can you comment on their latest earnings? Did you listen to Jeff green usually he gives a lot of information

Q: Can you please comment on the latest quarterly report and conference call as well as your thoughts on if it might be time to move on from this one. If you are more on the sell side with this latest report, any tech sector top favorites you could recommend to replace it with would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Some good quality companies on CDN/US exchanges trading at or near 52 week lows. Any of them standout to you as nice buys for long term growth investors?
Thanks

Q: With all of the fear around software being made obsolete due to AI, are there any particular businesses that you might see as being inappropriately oversold in this mass sell-off? I’m specifically wondering about TOST, as it seems that because it is so integrated into restaurant ecosystems, this would be hard to replace with AI… any thoughts on this? Many thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on the software industry sell-off being an M&A catalyst? Any ideas on target companies being taken out?

Q: I’ve held The Trade Desk for a long time and it is at a very low price at the moment compared to historic prices, but it sounds like you're skeptical about its near-term growth potential. Should I look to exit? Between Crwd, ens, app, and png …which offers the highest growth ceiling for a five-year horizon? If you have another company to recommend, feel free … Thanks

Q: I'm looking to clean up some of my TFSA and would like to get your thoughts on the following to either buy more, sell, hold: ABNB, TTD, PRL, LULU, CLBT, RS, PNG, JPM, LMN, AEM, BKNG, ATZ, AMZN, INTU, AXON, WSP, GOOGL, NVDA?


What are a few other CAD/USD growth stocks you would recommend that are not listed for a long term hold? Thanks.

Q: Hello
it was mentioned that Peter would give his thoughts of some of the stocks on TSX that would be candidates for a rebound in 2026, on National Post on Dec 20 , I have missed seeing that, can you let me know what are some of the stocks that he like for a rebound after a disappointing 2025 year? thanks
Michael

Q: What would be your US stocks for tax loss selling?
Thank you so much. Lorraine

Q: I have held the trade desk for many years and it is still a double for me. This is my high growth stock in my portfolio. I am planning to sell it and buy a better high growth stock for the future. Could you provide me your best idea ? Thanks

Q: I have the above holdings in an unregistered account and am in a losing position of 25 - 50% in each. Which of these would you 1) Hold, 2) Sell and 3) Buy back after 30 days?

Q: TTD Your thoughts please on the quarter? Thanks

Q: As we enter "tax loss selling" season, any sectors or specific companies that you would consider, both Canadian and US ?

Q: I have been a shareholder of the trade desk for many years and still have 123% gains.. I am questioning. what should I do with this company? I wonder if the future is still good. What would you do? Would you hold or sell? If you sell, you have a better investment you would put the money at work for the next five years. thanks a lot.

Q: Can you please comment on another drop on TTD today. Any news or thesis for this drop? What is your current stance on this stock and is it one to hold onto or do you have strong convinction ideas? I have nice gains on it since first recommendations from 5i in the pandemic so am ok with moving onto better ideas if you had some to suggest. Thanks so much!

Q: Hi, similar question for both of these stocks. I have a smaller position in both, I'm under about 20% and losing patience with both of them, although on paper they seem to be doing well! What might your views be on selling them at a loss and putting them into something with more growth, like NBIS (or do you have other suggestions if I were to reinvest)? I'm a non-resident, so cannot use the losses for tax purposes. Thank you.

Q: Folks...great service....can you suggest 3-4 beaten down Canadian and US stocks that you think are great opportunities for rebounds in the next 6 months?
Thank you.

Q: Thank you for your insightful analysis following The Trade Desk's results. I agree that the stock's drop appears to be an overreaction to the published figures and the well-managed CFO departure.

However, my main question concerns the nature of the competitive threat from Amazon, which seems to be the real structural issue behind the market's nervousness. Unlike the historical competition with Google or Meta, which was mainly technological, Amazon is attacking TTD on new ground: the field of commerce, with the decisive advantage of the "closed loop" (direct purchase data and indisputable ROAS measurement).

My question is as follows:

Do you believe that The Trade Desk's counter-strategy—which relies on its independence to unite the "coalition of Amazon's rivals" (Walmart, CPGs, etc.), proving the superiority of its AI platform (Kokai) on the open internet, and accelerating its international expansion—is powerful enough to defend its competitive moat against the gravitational pull of Amazon's data and enable a return to sustained growth of over 20% by 2026?

In other words, do you see the current slowdown as a temporary setback or as the beginning of a structural erosion of market share in the most lucrative segments?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i
Sezl down 43% this morning...How would you view sezl going forward ...would you continue to hold is and is this just part of the volatility risk?

Just to be clear regarding your answer to michaels question regarding TTDs massive decline this morning....you say "we would not HOLD"..... ie so you mean you would be sellers?
thx
