Q: Hi 5i team,

I would like to hear your take on these three points:

1. AI is a low margin business like energy/manufacturing

The idea is that, unlike software, AI has high marginal costs per query. Serving 100M queries costs roughly 2x as much as 50M. So as models get more complex, computing costs (electricity and water)scale up linearly. Doesn't this trap AI companies in a CAPEX-heavy, OPEX-intensive, and low-margin game instead of the high-margin SaaS story everyone's betting on?

2. Anthropic has a better business model than OpenAI

OpenAI relies heavily on consumer subscriptions (ChatGPT Plus), which are volatile. Anthropic gets 80+% revenue from enterprise/API deals much stickier. So Anthropic's actually in a stronger position long term?

3. $1 trillion OpenAI IPO doesn't make sense

Above reasons plus they're burning $14B+ annually by 2027, mostly going to Microsoft for cloud credits. Plus, the circular logic of their investors funding startups that buy OpenAI credits. Sounds like WeWork all over again?

Best,
Matt

Q: Nextera Energy (NEE) released a lot of information today! The new partnership with Google sounds good with NEE building the power plants to power Google’s new data centers. I think the new power contract with Meta is also good and the new natural-gas-fired plants are needed. But NEE is spending big dollars and is pulling back on dividend growth in 2027. Would you be able to share your thoughts and concerns with NEE’s plans? Would you add shares today? Or would you prefer to invest in companies winning the contracts to do the actual builds? Thank you.

Q: Is this a good ETF to park some cash for a one year period or do you have a better alternative with roughly the same dividend? Thanks

Q: what are your thoughts on this company

Q: I just saw a question on transcontinental. It seems like they are selling their packaging business, which I think they bought in 2019 as the new big thing. My question on it is whether the stock price generally falls following a payout and, if this is the case, you might not be any better off in waiting for the payout than selling now?
Thanks

Q: Retired, long term holder of Nutrien in both TFSA and RRIF accounts. All in, it has been a pretty good year for NTR....up roughly 25-30%.

Your thoughts on NTR's prospects over the next year or so, in general? Please include your thoughts on the Jansen mine coming on line...and your thoughts on the latest USA tariff threats?

As NTR is fairly cyclical, my plan was to consider trimming or sell all of NTR when it reached into the $90-100 range.

Thanks for your insight....Steve

Q: Dear 5i
Is investing in insurance companies like SLF a good idea in a declining interest rate enviroment , or are they like banks and make up the difference in lost revenue in other areas of their businesses ?
Also would now be a good time to buy into REITS , DIR specifically as it has not done very well over the past year and therefor more likely to rise more also with declining rates ?
Thanks
Bill C

Q: My financial holdings are TD, BNS, BMO, MFC and SLF. With the recent surge in the banks I am looking to rebalance back to a 50/50 split between banks and insurance companies. If you were to add a third insurance company, which would it be? Or should I add a non-bank/insurance company like BAM or X which is still classified as financial? I am only interested in large cap, dividend-paying stocks.
