Investment Q&A

Q: When do these companies next report earnings and what is expected? Do you see them beating estimates?

Q: Looking for a Canadian based etf that offers exposure to the AI sector. Your thoughts on the above noted one and any better alternatives would be appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter,

Please comment of CLS earnign expections and is it buy/hold?

Q: Another question, thought on Constellation. I have held this stock for many years and of course have done very well but my patience is running thin. Don't you think that management owes its shareholders something rather than not releasing any information. remaining quiet was fine when the stock was increasing double digits per year but now how about making a statement rather than silence that keeps the shareholders guessing. My thoughts. Wouldn't you think the large shareholders would want and deserve some answers.

Q: Hello

I wrote to CSU's investors relations asking them if they would be considering to start buying AI companies and he answered the following.

We have hundreds of AI initiatives taking place across CSI today and have very senior individuals spending a lot of time and effort ensuring we are not being complacent. We plan on presenting more on Ai at our AGM in May. I don’t think we need to change our acquisition strategy to stay relevant. Thanks.

Q: Hi, Any reason for the drop in AVAV over the last few days? Jim Cramer Considers AeroVironment “Incredibly Expensive at These Levels”. What do you think?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - At today's prices what are some key metrics and ratios for each of these three companies starting with P/E and free cash flow. Also how do they compare with the same metrics and ratios a year ago or whenever the AI theme started to become a concern. Are all three companies profitable.
Thanks.

Q: I’m considering selling Meta to purchase either AVGO or TSM in the tech sector of my portfolio. This is within my RRIF account.
Thoughts for a three year hold??

Q: updated thoughts on ELVA? would you rate it a buy? how long a hold?

Q: 5 Day-12.76%
1 Month-18.43%
3 Month-16.34%
YTD-13.70%
1 Year+25.12%

More recently SHOP performance has not been good. Is there any update/comment/analysis you can share with us as to why the weakness is occurring?

Has the outlook changed here? What are your thoughts please?

Sheldon

Q: Any reason for the drop in MSFT?? Thanks Jim

Q: Why the big drop with TSAT today?

Q: Hi 5i!
Is the lawsuit brought against TSAT frivolous? Is there a risk of fraud here? How long has the CFO / CEO been around?
TIA,

Q: I am a 75 year old pensioner and hold these stocks in my Rrif at a significant loss:Csu -20%,Clbt -17% and Crwd -20%.Is there any point in holding on to these considering my age and probably not a long term view(say 2-3 years)?What is the likeliehood that they will each be 10% above my purchase price in that time?

Q: The stock is having a bad momentum. Do you see anything that can be causing it? Downgrades?

If you had a half a position would you be adding to it?

Q: Hi,

Any reason jfrog was included in the AI report but not gitlab?

Q: Please explain the difference between these two companies and which one would you prefer to buy today?
Thank you

Q: Hi,
I recently reviewed your latest report highlighting the industries and companies expected to lead the AI revolution. I found it very insightful and appreciate the depth of analysis that went into it.
The report clearly reflects an enormous amount of research and effort—there are well over a hundred companies listed, which speaks to the depth of your work. That said, the sheer volume of information can feel a bit overwhelming. Would it be possible to update the report to indicate your relative preferences across the compute stack? For example, you might use color coding—one color for your top-tier selections and another for second-tier names—while leaving the others unhighlighted.
Alternatively, as a simpler alternative to color coding, would it be possible to share a spreadsheet version of the companies where you could simply indicate your top AI preferences (for instance, A, A-, B with everything else left blank to keep it simple)? Once available, we could then sort and analyze the information in whatever way best suits our individual research or investment focus.
As an aside, I did notice that firms such as TSMC and ASML—both widely regarded as foundational to the semiconductor and AI supply chain—were not mentioned. I'd be very interested in your perspective on how they fit into your broader analysis, or whether their exclusion reflects a particular focus within your coverage.
Recognizing that implementing any of the above suggestions may take time (and assuming the above is acceptable to you), could you offer an interim view on whether the long-term core holdings you previously highlighted in another question (such as VRT/ROK, NVDA/AVGO, APH/ANET, GOOG/MSFT, and LRCX/KLAC) remain attractive investments at their current valuations? Some AI-related names have reached elevated levels, and your updated perspective would be most helpful.
I believe this report establishes an outstanding foundation that we will reference for years to come. Your own ideas, along with suggestions from readers like those shared above, can only contribute to its continuous improvement.
In closing, a keynote speaker at Davos today highlighted what they see as AI growth's key bottlenecks: infrastructure (including power, compute, and network bandwidth), trust (encompassing security and safety), and data (particularly gaps in machine-generated data). Your report appears to comprehensively address the infrastructure and trust dimensions, while the machine generated data landscape may be an area for consideration as this part of the stack evolves.
Excellent work.  Greatly appreciated.  Thanks again.

Q: Thank you for the excellent AI Computing Stack report. Which of "2. Semiconductor, Hardware and Connectivity" subsector would TSM fit in this report?

Q: Excellent “ The AI Compute Stack and the Stocks That Power It” report.

If you have to choose an AI ETF that would cover the stocks on the report. Which CDN and USA ETF would you recommend to hold.

I currently hold 3% each COPX, CYBR, NUKZ, CHPS & QQC ETF


Thanks for the great service.
