Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on ANET earnings. Thank you

Q: Thanks for the recommendation on CLS!! To further the AI supply chain theme...What do you think of these other companies that are wiring, cooling, and building data centres for the future? Besides CLS, which of these do you think offer good upside from today with reasonable risk/reward?

Q: Could you list 2 or 3 female led public company's in AI and 2 or 3 female led public startups in AI in Canada & USA?

Thank you.

Q: Thoughts on Arista for a growth stock, thinking of buying it in the CDR form?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
May please have your thoughts on NVDA's announcement that META and ORCL will adopt its Spectrum-X Ethernet networking switches for their AI data centers.
Do you have an opinion on how much this will affect ANET's market position?
Would you look at exiting a position in ANET based on this competitive threat?
ANET is down 13% on Monday and Tuesday.
Thanks so much.

"Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) stock fell 2.4% Monday after NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced that Meta (NASDAQ:META) and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) will adopt its Spectrum-X Ethernet networking switches for their AI data centers.
NVIDIA revealed that Meta will integrate Spectrum Ethernet switches into its networking infrastructure for the Facebook Open Switching System (FBOSS), while Oracle plans to build giga-scale AI supercomputers with Spectrum-X Ethernet switches.
The announcement appears to have triggered concerns about potential competition for Arista Networks, which is a major provider of cloud networking solutions and data center switches. Investors may be viewing NVIDIA’s expanding footprint in the networking space as a competitive threat to Arista’s market position."

Q: Do you see anything driving down ALAB's price? What do think of it going forward? Thank-you

Q: With the the huge future revenues announced from Oracle yesterday what are some other companies in similar space or competitors that could also benefit?

Thx

Q: Hi,
I know, lots of names here - feel free to take extra points. These mostly looks pretty good to me technically and I believe they've had good earnings. Of the list which are your favourites? Do any have negative things to be aware of, and if buying what order might you accumulate them in?
Many thanks for all your helpful insight!

Q: Are there any reasons associated with Friday's big share price drop? Thanks!

Q: How compelling of a buy is this one ? I read your most recent response to a reader after their drop on earnings? Would you buy here given the drop? If other large cap tech is more attractive (mag 7 already owned) please offer some names that you would rank above ANET. Thank you

Q: Good morning!

Mag 7 owned, UNH, AMD, URI, POWL, ASML, KKR, CLBT, LLY, ANET.

What are “your” top 3 US additions to this list? Thank you for all the incredible things here.

Q: Hi, could you comment on ANET's earnings, which I understood were about 10% ahead of estimates per share, and 2% or so more revenue. The stock appears to have taken a hit today on the report, so were there negative comments from the management on forward guidance? Something else I missed in the numbers?
Thanks!

Q: Hi, I've read in Barron's that Crowdstrike will be laying off 500 staff, replacing them with AI. While obviously difficult for those laid off, I am wondering about the overall impact on CRWD, as I have noted today's negative reaction to the news. Your thoughts and comments on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Q: Are there any US stocks that are getting hit right now that would be good buys for long term growth holds?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

What are your thoughts on Arista networks from here? AI demand is still strong and all those GPU's have to be networked. NVDA networking division was actually flat (did not grow) so you would assume there is other networking equipment being used.

If you like it would you accumulate at these prices or lower?

Q: Thoughts on Anet ? Thank You

Q: Can you rank the following stocks best to worst please? Thanks
