Investment Q&A

Q: Am I correct that it appears SMCI wants to delay, but not redo, its 10K Filing? It appears a 10K Filing is required by the SEC and is far more detailed than an annual report. A delay in filing suggests there is weakness in Senior Management which is a definite negative. I don't believe in coincidences so I think it likely the Hindenburg report, posted 1 day before SMCI announced the filing delay, have sniffed out something. According to SMCI there is a problem with "the design and operating effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting". A pretty general statement if ever I saw one! If they have been evading sanctions that could spell serious trouble. SMCI has a reputation in Silicone Valley as a "sweat shop" according to my son-in-law who once worked for them. Anyways I'm lightening my long position on the up days as I just don't want to sell into panics. Any comments you might have would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

Q: Good morning,

Can I please get your thoughts regarding the likelihood of a strong bounce for SMCI after the dust settles from the Hindenburg report and delayed filing brouhaha? Is it likely that they still go ahead with the 10:1 planned stock split? Thanks. Brad

Q: SMCI 8/28 @10:30 down another 25% today. Hagens Berman are advising investors who are suffering substantial losses to submit your claims. Could you explain what the proper procedure is to do this or do you have other recommendations? Thank you so much.

Q: Can you discuss the situation with SMCI, the short report and what the best strategy is going forward.

thanks, M

Q: Can you provide a review of the short report on SMCI? Thank-you.

Q: Do you know why SMCI dropped over 8% today?

Q: Both SMCI and VRT have dropped significantly over the past 3 months. Do you see that one has stronger turn around potential than the other, and and if you were buying, which would you buy, or would you split the position between both. Thanks!

Q: Sell or hold

Q: Hi there, may I please have your thoughts on PEY results?

What companies are you finding interesting right now, after their 2Q results?

Any companies unjustifiably being punished, with their shares being sold off currently, that you believe is not justified and will have a good bounce within the next six months or so? ie; seems like WELL results are being misunderstood...hmm

Thanks!

Q: Hello Team,

Looking to purchase a couple stocks in my US dollar trading account, are you able to rank the above stocks from 1 to 12. Don't worry about size, industry or risk, will be holding for 3 years. Thanks so much!

Q: I’ve heard that data centre spending between now and 2030 will fall into three buckets: CPUs, Ai accelerators, and infrastructure, where CPUs are the slowest growing segment. Do you agree with that framework, and if so, could you briefly explain the difference between these three areas and recommend the best companies in each? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I currently own Super Micro and Nextracker and wondering if you would prefer a switch into TMDX, ASPN, CLBT and PLTR? How would you rank the 6 for a hold over the next 3-5 years?

Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: I am overweight both of these names. I am hoping for a recovery pop at which time I will seek to sell down a bit and spread the money out. Can you please give me a few other names that you might suggest for growth at this time? I sold booking holdings at a loss so please exclude that name. I am too afraid to buy back smci due to its wild volatility. I was consider coherent, Motorola, and Monolithic Power but am open to other suggestions. Thank you.

Q: Can you please provide your opinion about starting a position in SMCI?

Q: Hi Peter…I see both SIS & NFI set 52 week highs today with NFI up 40% year to date. I have owned SIS for a number of years thanks to 5i, so thanks again! I also owned NFI about 10 years ago and sold my shares in stages generating a profit every time, and yes the profits shrank as time passed! I know you’re negative on NFI, but you also recommend buying stocks which set new highs. I’m considering selling my Super Micro and buying either NFI, SIS, MDA or SHOP. Of the 4 I have an existing position in SIS only. I believe I am an “aggressive” investor but Super Micro’s roller coaster ride is testing me. I have owned NVDA since 2017 which I consider to be a core holding. Maybe I don’t need to own 2 chip makers? I’m perplexed, could you give me some guidance?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Good Morning,


It seems like the market has recently decided that the AI investing theme has peaked, and somewhat earlier than expected. Would you agree, and is it perhaps time to consider selling some winners?

It’s unlikely that SMCI will return to its highs from earlier in the year, and it’s a very different company, but is the current market sentiment likely to continue pulling down other AI-related winners like Vertiv and even Nvidia?

Thanks for your thoughts on this.

Brad

Q: How was latest quarter? Reaction overblown or justified? Thank you

Q: Looking for tax-loss proxy ideas for CAN: DCBO and US: NXT, SMCI, and PLTR. If there are simply better names to consider as replacements, those would be appreciated as well. Thank you!

Q: These companies are often discussed as rivals. In light of SMCI’s results, what do you think of the prospects for HPE and DELL in relation to SMCI? If you had to rank them, which ones get the gold, silver and bronze?

Q: SMCI reports after the bell today. They predicted around $8/share for the quarter. I bought this stock at $800, what are your thoughts about doubling down prior to earnings? Thanks
