Q: Hi there, todays news that CTS was awarded 2024 Nvidia Networking Partner of the Year as well as the Canadian Partner of the Year confirms they are deeply involved with Nvidia.

Does this really mean much? I'm sure it definitely brings more awareness of CTS.

But do these types of recognition awards increase business/sales, etc? Especially considering Nvidia is talked about everywhere and all the time now.

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i
Given recent news and increase in share price would 5i continue to be holders or would they be sellers.... and why?
The sp decline last week was very discouraging but the sp pop monday was very encouraging..... However trying to capture a diminishing upside is a risk since as you say there are no guarantees... I believe your estimated upside was around $40 canadian... As investors how would 5i analyse this decision to reduce emotional element...

thx

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!!
What are your thoughts on Galaxy Digital? Their earnings report is coming out on Mar26th. Would you happen to know what the earnings potentials may be going forward?

Cheers,

Q: Boyd results appear to be quite good. I would like to hear your opinion of their last quarter.

Q: In your opinion, which five(5) Canadian companies are best positioned to increase their net value because of Ai? Thank you!

Q: WELL has required a lot of patience. I know you still like it, but is there another smallish cap you would select over it? I own TSU, LMN, SIS, and SYZ.

Q: Peter; Not sure if you’re aware that PKI is running an ad here (BC) asking for bids on 157 of their convenience/gas stores across Canada. Maybe ATD is weak because they’re planning a bid and might need to raise money.

Q: DOO is down 18% in my portfolio. I expect(ed?) to hold it for 6-8 years. I am considering increasing position size (portfolio decision). How does 5i view such a move?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i
In your opinion do you think there is a strategic nature to leaked news of a potential " acquiring " of Nuvie?

As you mentioned the stock had been falling for a week to around $29.5 canadian now up today up around 28%....
....However If this news would have leaked 2 weeks ago at sp of around $36 canadian i believe management would have a harder time convincing shareholder that a potential $30 US take over price is a great price....
Am I dreaming ? Can you provide some commentary....

Thx

Q: How do I know if this stock is priced cheap, fair or expensive. For a general quick idea what metric should I use for this and other similiar stocks so I don't have to ask 5I every time I look at a stock.

Thanks Steve

Q: I have shares in Nvei that I would love to sell - bought at $77. Would you recommend waiting to see if the deal goes through, and if so what happens to the stock? Or in case the deal collapses, what target price might I look for before I sell? Thank you.

Q: What do you think the probability of a buy out offer is? What do you feel a offer price would be?

Q: A rumoured private equity buy out? What will that do for the stock. It’s now at $29….at one point was $130.if it happens, how much of a premium do you see in the stock?

Q: Hi, Could you please share your thoughts on the recent performance of the stock. LMN stock made a high of $38, just before release of its quarter, but its price has been drifting lower since then, closing at $33 level, within a span of less than 10 days.

The results looked solid, but apparently, there seems to be some concern among investors related to an expense of $2,871 mln (FY 2023), related to the increase in fair value of the redeemable preferred/special shares and dividend payable. LMN also intends to issue new common shares on March 25, 2024 to satisfy
(1) mandatory conversion of the large block of preferred and special shares held by CSU/Others at a predetermined ratio
(2) payment of $87 mln of dividend on these shares and number of such common shares, to be based on average trading price of LMN for 60 days prior to March 25.

My understanding is that the loss related to “Increase in FMV of preferred shares” is only a “Book Loss” and will extinguish completely, with no effect on company profitability (Existing and Future) once the preferred shares are converted to LMN’s subordinate voting shares on March 25.

Thus, the only relevant factor here should be the impending issue of new common shares (How many and the final total o/s shares), which would result in increase of the share count, possibly impacting the Net Income and CFO per share and further elevating the PE ratio.

So, is the market concern justified or it’s more of a sentiment issue, which should resolve itself with more clarity over next few quarters?

Based on your assessment, do you believe that nothing has changed to its mini CSU profile? And if so, is it a good opportunity to take advantage of this uncertainty and to add LMN shares at current level ?

Thank You

Q: Thoughts on the quarter?
Thanks...Steve

Q: Where does Benchmark info come from

Q: Hey team 5i: I’ve paid the price for hanging on to my Lightspeed LSPD shares. I bought into the company in the Spring of 2020, watched it reach its peak of $160.00 plus, per share and yes; was foolish enough to keep the shares during its massive decline, thinking the Company could fight off the Shorts, in much the same way Shopify did a couple of years prior. Anyway, I wish I could say you live and learn, but I just can’t seem to grasp that skill of when to sell! I’m encouraged with the recent change of leadership, but not all that confident that Dax Dasilva can make the changes necessary to bring the stock price back to where it once was! / I’ve been watching Vitalhub Corp (VHI) over the past # of weeks and note the positive commentary as it relates to it being a stock to watch! / Would it be a wise decision to sell my LSPD shares and buy into VHI? / Thank You in advance. I appreciate your great service. Stan.

Q: What is your outlook for GSY, is there any upside left for it or do you think I should hop off here and go to a bank? ..........I would also like to know which bank would be your favourite, even if you recommend keeping GSY.
