Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I would like to add another tech name. With software being weak as of late, I was thinking of either ADBE or CRWD but would be open to another suggestion or two as well. I currently own GOOG, TSM, AMZN, and MSFT.. VRT and BKNG as well even tho they aren't really tech names. Thank you.

Q: Both KXS and MANH offer software solutions to manage supply chains.

KXS has low single digit operating margins and ROIC.
MANH has high operating margins (20%+), and high ROIC (40%+).

They have similar gross profit margins (~50-60%), and in fact, KXS is the higher of the 2. In comparison, is KXS "bleeding" money on certain expenditures that MANH is not, or why does MANH screen so much better? What is MANH doing different that has allowed its stock to grow over 3x the CAGR of KXS over the past 5 years?

If your investable universe included US stocks, would you side with MANH going forward as a replacement to KXS in your model portfolio?

Thanks,

Q: I see that Robin Van Poelje (ceo of Topicus) recently sold $11M in CSU shares which amounted to 99% of his shares held. When I look at Topicus shares I see that he holds a tiny amount in the company. Any idea what's going on there, this seems odd. Especially considering the CSU mgmt style and mgmt comp plan that promotes insider ownership.

Q: Hi 5I. I hold VRT and am quite happy to do so. The names I have listed may also have big potential in the AI / Data Center explosion. Could you comment on the worthiness of an investment in any of them, please?
