Investment Q&A

Q: Can you please recommend an ETF that holds the major AI data Power centre stocks? and how have they generally performed and what are the major risks involved in investing?

Q: What is the average P/e over the last 10 years and what is it today?
I am trying to decide whether to take advantage of its price drop to add to its position in my Tfsa.

Q: Peter; What do you make of the “ridiculous”? price targets of $82.00 yesterday and $78.00 this am. Seems way out there? Thanks.

Q: Your last question on this company is from 2021 and it has done rather well since then, up around 330%. What would be your current assessment?

Q: Hello,
The news release as of yesterday Sept 22, 2025, , "BitMine sells approximately 5.22 million shares at $70.00 per share and approximately 10.4 million warrants with a strike price of $87.50

BitMine common share sale is a 14% premium to the closing price of BitMine Common Stock on September 19, 2025

BitMine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK's Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas "Tom" Lee to support BitMine's goal of acquiring 5% of ETH"

Why would institutions pay a premium when they can simply buy it at market price for less than the $70 offering.. is it because at the market price which is less than $70, they won't get as many shares? I would appreciate your thoughts..

Q: With the recent pull back, what would be a good entry price.

Q: For someone who has held some BLDP shares for a long time... the stock has recently been rising rapidly, up more than 100% in the last 6 months. I know it has never made a profit, and I am guessing this recent strength is riding on the AI sentiment for power generation. I would like to ride this momentum and sell at the top - which is of course nearly impossible, I know. Normally I make buy/sell decisions based on fundamentals, and try to time things using technical analysis.

Can you explain what is behind the sudden strength, and how long you expect it to last? What would be your exit timing strategy to maximize profit here? Technical charts like MACD, or something else?

Thanks as always for your wise insights!

Q: Hello,
The blog on the CSU call was well written and overall I thought the company was just being realistic, yet the three stocks especially CSU and LMN have taken a hit. It looks like investors just want positive views on AI rather than a balanced view. Is it a good time to load up? Much appreciated.

Q: If I am reading my sources correctly, NBIS has a short interest of about 8.2%. Isn’t this quite high for a stock that has already increased a lot this year? What are the bears thinking and could there be more upside in a squeeze?

Q: For arguments sake, let’s say AI does start to eat Constellation’s lunch. How could a person hedge their position in Constellation? A company like Palantir?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, First a big thanks for your blog report on CSU's meeting to discuss AI impact on their businesses. Do you think the markets will re-rate these companies? If you owned these companies what would you do going forward? Will this impact your weightings in the 5i portfolios? Thx.

Q: Thanks for the detailed Blog Post.

Please advise if you would consider CSU as a buy or hold. What price would you consider as Strong Buy.

Thanks for the great service

Q: Hi 5i,
May I please have your current opinion on Electrovaya as a 3 to 5 year hold?

I see that the stock price has gone up recently.

If you could provide some insight on the company and their future prospects it would be appreciated.

Also, do you feel that there is much in the way of risk related to U.S. tariffs and the upcoming renegotiation of CUSMA.
Thanks!

Q: Have more than a 100% gain on these two companies, is it time to take some profit?

Q: Hi Peter,

Thank you for your answer. I would appreciate it if you could answer the second part of my question as well.

"Q: Hi Peter,

I have a question about Nvidia’s proposed $100 billion investment in OpenAI. From my understanding, the funds will be used to purchase Nvidia’s own GPUs. How should investors interpret this circular funding in terms of valuation integrity and long-term sustainability? Does it raise red flags about inflated revenue or distorted market signals? Considering the deep entanglement between Nvidia, OpenAI, and Microsoft, at what point does this trio resemble a functional monopoly in the AI ecosystem? If it walks and quacks like a duck, it is a duck! Is it time for regulators or competitors like Google and AMD to step in and balance the power? I doubt the government knows or will to do anything. I would love to hear your perspective.

Best,
Matt


5i Research Answer:
Certainly NVDA is trying to tie up the ecosystem, that we are fairly sure of. It wants to control the datacentre market, which of course means a captured market for its GPUs. It is a virtous cycle (invest in a company, it buys chips, sells out space in its datacentre, and gets cash flow to buy more space). However it does rely on incremental demand, and this could be a problem. CRWV, for example, is using debt for much of its funding, and this could certainly backfire when demand slows. For now, it is an arms race, though, with insatiable demand requiring massive funding. NVDA has the ability to fund these companies. However, it does not have $100B sitting around. It will come over time (the deal right now is just a letter of intent). NVDA has said that, in a $10B data centre, as an example, it would sell about $3B of GPUs to it. It is not quite a 100% 'selling to itself' as some believe. But it is a circular event, and some accuse NVDA of essentially funding sales to itself. It is more than this, but does carry risks. "

Q: Seems investors are not impressed by CSU and continue to sell off all these names. I have around a 10% allocation to the family (4% CSU, 4% LMN, 2% TOI). I'm contemplating reducing my positions and adding to MDA, ZDC, CLS, ISRG, TOU. What are your thoughts? I'm concerned because CSU and LMN are one of the larger positions in my portfolio. Thank you!

Q: All 3 stocks have recently been down and are continuing to drop today (Tuesday). Your blog on the CSU/Leonard call about AI recapped what was said and indicated premiums assigned to these stocks may be lowered. Looks like it's now underway. I was hoping for more thought on what might happen in the future? As many of your customers own these stocks, it would be nice if 5i could issue quick reports on them. Are they still rated high or have they gone down a notch, or two or three? Are they rated buy, hold or sell? Where does 5i see these stocks' prices in 3, 6 and 12 months from now? I realize there are many unknowns and predicting the future is tough, but 5i has done this generally quite well in the past. These 3 stocks appear to widely held and deserve more attention at this time.

Q: Thank you for the timely and well-done blog on CSU.
Two questions:

1) Would YOU put new/fresh money into CSU TODAY? Please give a brief reasoning for your answer.

2) If YOU had owned CSU shares for a number of years, what would you do with them today (irrespective of portfolio make-up)? Please give a brief reasoning for your answer.

Thank you

Q: I would like some suggestions for a proxy for KXS. One that you feel has more growth potential.
