Investment Q&A

Q: Svc tse
Stock has fallen sharply this week with poor earnings report but they say this will improve in next quarter. Previously there had been analyst estimates of a 4.50 price next year. Any comment

Q: Hi Guys
SVC (Sandvine) is down so far today. Do you think this is a good entry point? There is some share buyback happening and a few good orders/contracts for the company and they have some cash. Also I am hoping to know why the quick drop of 10%. Is it because of overreacting traders? What is your opinion please. Thanks as always for the great things you do.

Q: SVC just announced a major order plus a share buyback proposal. However, 3rd Qtr guidance has dropped. Still seems like a very good company. Thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i Team!

I have a few questions about RedKnee Solutions (RKN). I had a position in it last year and made a great return. I'm considering getting back in if the stock goes cheap enough for the risk/reward. I understand the risks and it would be only a small position.
What PE multiple are they trading at now?
How is their free cash flow?
What's their ROE?
I understand their balance sheet is still good.
Any other important info would be greatly appreciated.

Also I'm thinking of "doubling down" on EngHouse (ESL) one of my core positions. Is it a good idea at the current price? When is the next earnings report? I doubled down earlier this year on OTC and last year on CSU which both worked out nicely.

Thank you for your great advice!

Q: Hi 5i team, The recent run-up in the shares of WIN. Is it a result of: (1) a change in the market's sentiment toward the company and is therefore broadly based or (2) a few big investors including maybe hedge-funds buying for a fast flip or (3) someone buying a stake for a bid or for activist influence? Afterall, the stock was at $8 plus when the company's situation was't that different from now. Thanks as always. Henry

Q: Peter and Team. Love this service and recommend it as often as I can.

Do you have a preference re IGV.US verses XLK.US ? I am a well diversified investor with the exception of tech and don't want to be a stock picker in this segment. An ETF seems the best way to play tech for me.

Many thanks, Nancy

Q: Hi Guys,

My question is about the Constellation Software Rights(CSU.RT). The way I calculate things, each right should be worth around 24 cents ($5/21.192). Why would they be trading at 41 cents, 70% higher?

Am I missing something or making a calculation error?

Thanks for the help.
