Investment Q&A

Q: Entry point for AXON please? Wait for a pull back ? Thanks

Q: Hello, can you please share your top 3 names ideally in the tech or industrials/manufacturing sector that most closely resemble Axon of 2-3 years ago:
- Lots of growth opportunities
- Business model with high recurring revenue
- Potential to be industry leaders
- Expensive for good reason
- Chance at doubling over the next 5 years
Are there others you think could grow into that type of business?
Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i,

Had to trim some of my US holdings today due to portfolio balancing/management.

Hoping you could recommend some potential US stocks to redeploy this capitol over the next few months when the opportunity comes up. Looking to hold for at least 5+ years and I am interested in growth and ok with risk.

I have already enough exposure to AI stocks (AMD/VRT/GOOG/MSFT). I am open to any other sector you suggest but was leaning towards something in the real estate or industrial sector.

Thank you in advance and love the service,

Greg C.

Q: In May 2024 you answered a question rewarding building a portfolio of US stock: Q: Suppose our extraterrestrial friend, Blaarg, seeks to diversify their portfolio by investing in the U.S. market. Which 12-15 top U.S. stocks would you recommend for them over the next decade? Thanks

5i Research Answer:
Here are some of the high-quality US names with moderate risks and reasonable valuations that we think investors could do well by owning a basket of these names over the long term. Although these may not the the best winners, we think these could be considered as compounders such as BKNG, ULTA, AXON, ABNB, UBER, ADBE, FI, ODFL, HEI, AZO, ORLY, ARES.

Would your answer be the same today. If not, what would be your list today? Thanks

Q: I have some cash in my TFSA and would like to add to one of my smaller holdings - AMD, VRT, AXON, LMN. Would you be able to rank in which order you would add? Thanks!

Q: Sold 1/2 my portfolio (except CSU, TOI, LMN) at the end of August. First week into Sept and I'm looking smart. While I think it's still too early, when and how do I get back into market? Holdings (some sold out in August) include AMZN, META, NVDA, AMD, VRT, BN, SHOP, AXON, SNPS, NOVT, GOOG, NU, ELF.

Q: Just renewed earlier this year and realized it's been 10 years. Thanks for all your sage advice over the years and the many multibaggers (I was hooked after Amaya) that came with it.

What initially drew me to 5i was Peter's enthusiasm for small caps. Using his methods can you recommend your current favourite US small caps at the moment (I have lots of Canadian ones thanks to the growth & balanced portfolios).

Thanks, see you in 2034!

Q: Hello, I'm considering switching N5 global out for Axon. Going from a smaller, slower growth to a larger, faster growing company. What pros and cons do you see to such a switch?
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: Hi 5i
Thoughts on TEAM? Would you put it on watch...It's not one of my finest and with a tech heavy weight could provide funds for another name.
Thanks

Q: Thank you for the Monday morning alert. I took a chance that you would have devoted a bit of holiday time to explain the situation in easier language than CNBC was describing.
When stocks report good quarters they spike up and then 90% of the time they drift back down to the trend line. This happens whether the market has been in an uptick or a downtick. I guess I should be like everyone else and when this happens, get out of all or a big part of my positions. What would be your advice on this? Thanks so much.

Q: Can I please get comments on Axon's latest quarter? Thank you

Q: I'm hoping everyone at 5i is enjoying their summer. Just recently I trimmed NVDA, META, GOOGL, MSFT.Would you please suggest 3 or 4 ideas for small cap tech and also US growth potential industrials. Thanks for all you do!

Q: I've been watching this stock for a long time and trying to define my thesis so would appreciate if I'm on the right path for a thesis for holding AXON make sense?

Drivers of Growth / Reasons to Own
> Labour productivity of police (less time in office, more on streets
> Efficiency (hard to hire new police staff, use existing staff more efficiently)
> Documentation / storage as records need to be kept for long periods of time (as more users create 'evidence' more records to be kept)
> AI to improve product efficacy and driving new efficiencies in creating reports
> Increasing need for policing given crime increases
> International growth as majority of revenue is US-based
> M&A to go into peripheral areas (eg drones)

Risks
> Lawsuits due to issue w/ equipment or services provided
> Expensive stock vis-a-vis earnings (due to past delivery of high CAGRs) so a miss could hit stock hard

It seems everything they do is about developing an 'eco-system' for the police that only gets stronger as new offers developed (eg. drones, AI etc) and w/ strong record of keeping existing customers and new avenues of growth it seems good days are ahead.

Am I missing something?

Q: I am down about 19 percent on MU and thinking of selling as it seems to be out of favor these days. Could I have your opinion and what would be a better growth option or two. Thanks

Q: The markets are showing signs of change.
Kindly order these stocks in order of growth opportunity. Do you think that LAC has begun a turnaround, that it is worth investing in now?
Thank you!

Q: Please rate the following stocks to purchase for a long term hold. Thanks

Q: Could you please recommend 5 US stocks (any sector but tech) that have a good outlook for the next few years. I am not adverse to risk as this would be for my TFSA.

Q: I have some cash to deploy. Do you think yesterday's shift into 'other' stocks is a meaningful moment? I am not looking to sell any of the big US firms (GOOG, NVDA, etc.,) that I hold but wonder if it is an opportune time to put some of this money elsewhere. I am specifically looking at the US market and the move yesterday into RH and the like. Any sectors or specific stock suggestion that might fit this theme would be appreciated. I am thinking of US mostly, but not exclusively. Thank-you.

Q: Hello Team,

I was wondering if you could rank the attached 12 companies from 1 - 12. I have some money to deploy in my cash account and already own all 12 in my TFSA/RRSP. Will be a 3 year hold.

No worries on size, risk or industry, looking for best returns only.

Thanks!
