Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i team,
Considering how well the techs have done in the balanced portfolio, OTEX seems to be the laggard thus far. Are you still comfortable/confident with this equity. Do you still have patience for this one?
Andrew

Q: Thoughts on investing in Serve Robotics (SERV: Q) as a complement to UBER, with potentially greater upside, for investing in robotic delivery systems.

Q: Recent answer to question from Rajeev regarding Lumine lagging Topicus... part of your response... "LMN is now currently cheaper on valuation. We think $130 makes sense for TOI and $33 for LMN. "

What valuation are you using here for LMN being cheaper?

Q: Do you expect better results going forward with the changes being implemented? What would be a good entry point? Do you foresee any significant headwinds?

Q: Hi,

Why is this "Radio silence" on/from SMCI? When are they going to release their revised numbers? No news on their response to class action suits either. Next earnings report is on the 29th October. Is that when the proverbial muck hits the fan? Or do you think things might improve after their 10 to 1 split takes place on October 1st?

I see that this is not their first time with this type regulator related troubles. They seem to have survived the storms before. Will they survive them again?

The price action indicates a little bit of steadying around 400$. (+/-).
Can you gaze into your crystal ball and a. give us a floor and a ceiling, say with December 2024 in mind, b. tell us when it will hit at least 700 again? (Pre split price.)

Many thanks.

Q: What has driven SMTC to its breakout share price. What are your current thoughts. Is it a buy?

Q: Are you concerned at all about the company’s decline in organic growth?

Q: What do you think of a small 5% position on one of these ETFs ? Is tech sector over-values right now ?

Q: Why big drop suddenly in Friday afternoon ? Thanks a lot.

Q: I was happy to learn recently that TD now offers partial share purchases which I think is a great way to afford buying a company like CSU considering its 4000+ cost. I have a small amount to invest and was considering buying a partial share of CSU. At this point in time, considering current valuations and the potential for long term capital growth, would your preference be CSU or one of other Constellation spin offs LMN or TOI. Please explain why you would choose one over the other two. I intend to make this stock purchase within a TFSA. Many thanks for the for the great service that you provide.

Q: I presently own PANW and I am up modestly. I would like to know your opinion of selling PANW and buying CRWD after its sell off? I want exposure to cyber security. Do you see more upside potential with Crowd Strike? Would the unknown consequences of CRWD be a problem?

Thanks

Dave.

Q: I am presently down 61% on SMCI . What do you think of this company and is it a sell or hold ? I also hold QCOM, but not under on this one. Any thoughts on this one ?
LRCX , I'm down 17%, the chart looks good on it .Sell or hold ? If I were to sell any of them, please give me 5 choices of stocks in the same categories. Thanks guys.

Q: Hi Peter, my son was looking at starting a FHSA investment portfolio. I was thinking of having him start with a small position in NVDA as one of his holdings, would this be a good suggestion seeing that the shares have fallen since the split or would there be better stocks for such an account and if you could suggest some it would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: Can you please comment on the earning and outlook?

Q: What’s your thoughts on these two names, is there value at the current share prices?? If so is this now a good time to step in or wait for more positive momentum…

Q: Hello 5i
Could I have your current assessment of Belden? It has done very well over the last 18 months. Can the growth continue? Any red flags?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Hello, can you please share your top 3 names ideally in the tech or industrials/manufacturing sector that most closely resemble Axon of 2-3 years ago:
- Lots of growth opportunities
- Business model with high recurring revenue
- Potential to be industry leaders
- Expensive for good reason
- Chance at doubling over the next 5 years
Are there others you think could grow into that type of business?
Thank you!

Q: Hello,

Topicus, lately is showing solid momentum, with stock hitting an all time high, Today. On the other hand, Lumine has lagged behind, specially after the recent results. Do you believe that this divergence in stocks behaviour is temporary or it is signalling any longer term concerns for the latter ?

Also, based on their current valuation, does it make one more attractive than the other . in the near term and what would be the price points to accumulate ?

Thank You

Q: In the company profile of Broadcom (AVGO), we see a Dividend yield of 12.92%. Is that really 12.92% annually? Such a dividend is certainly not common in the tech industry. Why is it so high compared to other tech companies? Thank you

Q: Hi,
Knowing you don't give personal advice, what is the highest weight YOU would be comfortable holding VRT ?
Thanks
