Q: Hi Team, Thanks for your wonderful work on i5Research.
NVDIA stock jumped right after earnings report last week. This week it has dropped in price every day, even though analyst are targeting up to 1000-1200$ in the near future.
With the recent deep in NVDA is this a good time to buy NVDA stock or call options? Or is it a falling knife?
Thanks
DP

Q: Opinions on these two companies. Looks like Intel created a foundry division in which Cadence will be assisting Intel with designing and producing new chips. From my reading Microsoft is also involved and wondering if this may be a strategy to decrease reliance on Taiwan semiconductor and increase "home grown" chip manufacturing.
Do you think Intel can find some momentum from the AI surge and this strategy?
Is Cadence a viable way to get involved in the "back door" of the AI surge? Do you have other preferences that provide the same services?
Thank you.

Q: I do wonder if you could comment on the recent news releases in regard to Cadance and Intel foundry systems. I just started researching this and am going to admit a lot of this is over my head and comprehension. From my initial readings it looks like Microsoft has joined in on this as well, so looks like Intel, Cadence and Microsoft are in an initiative in the AI space. Is there a possibility that Intel may get some legs in this AI surge as well? The share price of this stock has certainly not soared like others in this sector. Wondering if the Microsoft relationship will have some impact on the future performance of Intel?
Could this be a way for Microsoft to lessen it's dependence on NVDA?

Q: "History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes". Does the AI/tech surge remind Peter of anything in the markets before in history? If so, how does it all end?

Q: CSCO reported miserable earnings on February 15 and guidance was also poor. I understand the company will also raise more debt. I am not clear on the company’s reasoning for yet more debt. CSCO was added to AAII’s “stock super stars” list in February 2016 under its “good values” strategy. I was thinking of selling CSCO last year but held off when I saw the business was added to Morgan Stanley’s global dividend portfolio in June 2023. I continued to on to CSCO, especially as hardly any of my other holdings pay dividends. Given CSCO’s latest report and guidance, is it worth holding on to CSCO for investors whose folio is all US, and who are getting concerned that their folio generates little dividend.

If its worth holding on to CSCO, please comment on the company’s business model, the strength or not of its suite of security products. Please also comment on CSCO’s PEG ratio, its debt to equity in addition to its competitive position and moat referenced above. Many thanks.

Q: Hi there, can you add anything to the AI conversation regarding CTS?

How is CTS involved with AI or in supporting the use of AI using Nvidia product?

What is expected of CTS when it reports next week?

Is it fairly priced now based on preliminary numbers provided?

Are institutions and insiders now buying again?

How much stock has been purchased now by CTS to cancel, last year plus this year?

Thanks!

Q: I believe these 2 companies are in the same sector, Information Technology. Both are supposed to have weak performance in 2024. Do you consider one company better than the other? Do you agree that they are not competitor's, each having their own separate niche? Do you think COHR is a better run company than KEYS? COHR's share price seems to be acting better than KEYS which may have more to do with COHR's proximity to AI. I'm mulling over selling KEYS to buy more COHR. Already got lots of NVDA and SMCI. I see COHR's CEO is retiring, potentially increasing the risk profile of the company.
Not sure what to do!
Regards,
Jim

Q: I have read that this company is going to be very important in the application of AI, as a lot of business will be using it but will need the help to apply it. Any other companies that do the same?
Thanks Again

Q: I am wondering what you think the risk is with nvidia vis-a-vis the tensions between the US and China. My understanding is that nvidia's supply chain is heavily based in Taiwan. Should China overtake Taiwan, what do you think the impact would be to nvidia? Are there alternate sources elsewhere worldwide (considering supply chain constraints)? Presently, the US government is restricting what nvidia can ship to China and I must assume that China would probably reciprocate should they take control of Taiwan. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thank You.
