Investment Q&A

Q: Can you please prioritize the top 10 up and coming AI stocks for future growth?

Q: Have room for one more tech - if you had to pick - PLTR or VRT. And why?

Q: I know you hold Palantir. Do you think it's over valued at this price? It seems like a promising company with intriguing software but I worry about buying it at this valuation. Thanks,

Jason

Q: In a previous question I asked a few months ago,

- Good call!

- Now my Question is : Currently in this environment, What would you suggest is a Screaming Buy.. - In any Sector, Based on current stock price and valuation

Thanks in advance,

Q: Has the US high tech sector peaked in price yet, or would you recommend 4 stocks with lots of upside pls?

Q: Can you suggest an AI
play at this stage. A little late to the game perhaps??

Q: Certainly! I apologize for the oversight. Here’s the revised version of your message:

Hello. I currently hold a small amount of Palantir stock in my RRSP. After initially experiencing a loss, it has now rebounded with an 11% gain. I’m curious about the future prospects of this stock. Should I consider selling it or holding onto it. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,

Thank you for taking time to answer so many questions on top stocks to own or purchase. We read through questions on ranking popular stocks but we were not able to formulate a priority list of CDN and US small cap stocks, especially with so many rising quickly in the last couple of months.

Based on current valuations, risk, growth potential, and management, in what order would you purchase the stocks below for a 2-5 year hold? If there are too many stocks, can you please list your top 10 or 12 in priority from the list?

ACLS, ACMR, AXON, CELH, DOO, ESTC, GSY, HPS.A, INMD, LMN, OPRA, NXT, PATH, PLTR, SMCI, VRT

Thank you

Q: Do you know why PLTR NYSE Palantir Technologies Inc seems to be going down so much today Mar. 4?

Thank you.

Q: Its likely this has been asked before but I couldn't find it... Besides the big guns NVDA, MSFT etc what smaller AI players providing the picks & shovels look good forward ? Which ones would make good targets for the big guys ? Thank you.

Q: Can you comment on Palantir's stock-based compensation levels. This seems to be growing at about 15% annually, and it was over a billion dollars last year, for a company whose revenue is just over $2 billion annually. Is this too high and will this impact earnings meaningfully over the next 5 years? Thanks.

Q: These four companies are all AI-predominant companies, all are growing revenues at about 20% per year or so, have similar market caps, and are coming into profitability for the first time either last year or next.
My question is a difficult one: is there any way to tell what operating margins might eventually be for each of these companies say in 3-4 years? Do you know any way to get this projection? And how these may be ranked for eventual margins if so? Thanks.

Q: What would you consider a good entry point for these companies?

Q: I am using PLTR as an example. When looking at “potential” growth in a company, I assume it is useful to look at “current” PE “future” PE (as one metric). From the G&M watchlist I get 304 and 156 respectively for PLTR. From a growth standpoint this may suggest a potential 2x share increase IF the company meets targets. Is this correct? For my benefit what is the PE definition shown under “PLTR Profile” on the 5i site as it gives a PE of 246?

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Would you invest in Palantir or Datadog for the next 5 years, in a growth account that is attempting to take advantage of AI trends?

Q: I’m currently a momentum/swing trader, but running out of names to hop on with everything up. Can you provide 5 US growth names that you might enter based on their current momentum? Either a bounce or continued rise in the next month?

Q: Palantir reported its 4Q on Monday, Feb 5. Stock popped 30% on Tuesday. First profitable year, worldwide commercial revenue grew by 32% year over year more than government revenue which grew by 11% year over year, increased its revenue guidance for 2024, AI platform "continues to be unrelenting" as reported by CEO. Short interest % is low. P/E = 232, P/S = 17. Expensive and volatile stock since its IPO. What is your take on Palantir quarter? Is the 30% increase in stock price over-exuberant? What is the maximum percentage you would hold Palantir in your portfolio?

Q: Which of the two above would be a better five year investment for aggressive growth?

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Your consistent positive answers about PLTR and your courage of conviction is admirable. Whether fellow subscribers pose questions on PLTR lumping it with other technology companies (different fields) or on its own (in Nov/Oct 2023) you have always expressed your positive endorsement of PLTR.

But it has been slipping recently despite positive AI environment and Govt contracts. Whilst it has recovered from its low , it hasn't taken off like other AI darlings. (especially today when Meta added 200B in a day!!)

From your consistent previous answers I know:

You are not a fan of "averaging down".
Yet some times you suggest one take 1/3 or 1/2 position and then take a full position later.
You also have cited studies that suggest taking a full position has better outcome in long term instead of averaging down or up.

I know you answer to fellow subscribers' questions based on the way they pose the question.
That may explain the apparent conceptual contradictions. I understand that.

What are your words of wisdom about PLTR taking above points into consideration. Take a full position/or do a 1/2 now and 1/2 later, wait for a while? Will it reach it's once peak of 40+$? Who are it's real competitors? Should one switch?


Many thanks.

Q: I am trying to purchase 5 american companies to hold in an AI-focussed portfolio, probably for 5 years or so through this next bull market. I already own the megacaps and so I am specifying less than $200 billion market cap for each of these. Can you give me your top AI-related plays with these criteria? Thanks.
