Q: Hi 5i Team - When searching the symbol DEFI I get two results for Defi Technologies, one in Canada and one in the U.S. Does the one in Canada trade on the OTC and therefore would it be preferable to buy it on the U.S. exchange. There seems to be very little info on this company. Could you provide a summary of its operations and fundamentals including your opinion of its potential.

Q: Thoughts on earnings?

Specifically I want to ask about these three line items from full year 2024 earnings:

"Total revenue increased 62% year-over-year to $1.3 billion, Ad revenue increased 50% year-over-year to $1.2 billion, and Other revenue reached $114.7 million

Gross margin was 90.5%, an improvement of 430 basis points from the prior year

Free Cash Flow was $215.8 million and capital expenditures were $6.2 million, less than 1% of revenue"

With gross margin being high and Cap-ex being incredibly low; is there something I am missing or is Reddit likely to be very profitable now that the baggage on the books from the IPO is behind them?

How is cap-ex so low? Is that mostly a result of their website having volunteer moderators?

Thanks.

Q: I hold these small/mid cap stocks. Most have done well.

It looks like the interest rates vs inflation discussion isn’t going away soon and rates may be higher for longer. With this as the backdrop and current uncertainty around the markets is this a time to lighten up on Small/Mid cap stocks and take some profit? Or would you hold?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Any thoughts you have on MAXQ would be appreciated. Anything positive or is it simply a lottery ticket? Have they at least met any of their own internally generated progress schedules? Finally is there any link between MDA and MAXQ?
