Investment Q&A

Q: With the quick change in the market, I feel like an idiot. On the days when things were tanking I was very nervous and didn't really add to any positions. When a growth stock goes from very high to so low it is hard to add more or start a new position. Any wisdom on this? Five that corrected a lot and are now catching a bid. What is your order of purchase for TFSA?

Q: I hold balanced positions in Google, Microsoft, META, Apple, Netflix, NVDA and Amazon. They have all pulled back.

What order would you be adding to these positions?

Are there any that you would not be adding too in the current volatile market?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Now that Netflix is ​​abandoning the WB acquisition and receiving $3 billion, how do you value the stock? Should we revisit the November price?

Q: I am starting to read more about the risks for Netflix with respect to their bid for WB. Particularly in light of the improved offer from Paramount this week, and comments from the Trump Administration that suggests they likely will be involved in some way in approving a deal at some point, however that ends up looking.

My question is this - in the event that Netflix loses out (my view is that it is 60-40 they do lose out, either on price or regulatory/DOJ hurdles down the road), do you think there is upside in their stock price near-term? And I have also been reading that if Netflix does not get WB, they may take a run at Disney.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks as always.

Q: Versant Media Group Inc VSNT:NASDAQ

What's your opinion on this one for an investment?

Thank you.

Q: Your market data shows next year earnings estimate of $3.21, which gives a PEG of around 1. Your previous comments indicate this as a company that should be a good investment over the long term. However, you are cautious about buying given the WB deal : the politics, and possible biding war.
If you don't recommend taking a quarter position at the current price $89, what events would signal to you that it was time to pull the trigger on a buy?

Q: Hi 5i Research Team

Hope you’re having a wonderful Monday.

Quick question on Netflix (NFLX). Shares are around ~$90 and I’m debating whether it makes sense to start a position ahead of the next earnings release.

What are the key bull and bear drivers you’d be watching?

Is there anything in expectations/valuation right now that makes the risk/reward especially asymmetric one way or the other?

If you were interested, would you treat it as a starter position vs. a larger bet, and why?

Appreciate any perspective you can share.

Best,

Q: What is your current view on Disney and today’s Netflix and WBD deal?

Q: Hi 5i
I have added NFLX to my watchlist due to recent turmoil (WB) bringing price down. Using 1 year chart RSI is now under 30. A few months back you suggested $115 as an entry point, what say you at $95?
Thanks and happy holidays! Greg

Q: Netflix stock has performed poorly lately, however predicted earnings look good for next year. Would you recommend a sell/hold/ buy?

Q: Your thoughts on Netflix Pursuing Warner Bros. Discovery?
I find Netflix’s interest in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery puzzling given the risk profile — regulatory and antitrust hurdles, political sensitivities, legacy assets like CNN that don’t align neatly with Netflix’s model, and the potential future debt burden Netflix may need to take on to finance such a deal.
Beyond regulatory issues, the integration risk seems significant — merging two different cultures, operating systems, content strategies, and media infrastructures could easily become management-distracting and value-eroding.Given all this, would you continue to hold NFLX while these scenarios play out?
I seek your views on:
• whether the strategic upside outweighs the regulatory and integration risks after year one post acquisition
• whether additional leverage to finance a large takeover strengthens or weakens Netflix’s long-term positioning (and especially whether increase in NFLX subscription cost could backfire
• expected regulatory posture toward such a transaction
• how you would position NFLX through this uncertainty (specifically whether you would hold through turmoil I expect). Thank you. :ao:

Q: I don't like the way CDRs handle SPLITS "CIBC does not 'split' the CDRs in the typical sense. It instead adjusts the ratio of how many partial shares each CDR represents. This has been done now for NFLX."

Does it make sense to SELL my NFLX CDRs and BUY Regular NFLX on the Nasdaq??

Thanks for your amazing service!

Q: I have 300 NFLX.TO CDRs, but I don't see any SPLIT for them. How/When will the SPLIT be reflected? Thanks Kindly!
