Investment Q&A

Q: Previously, I noticed that the 5i team held SMCI stock, which was sold during the downturn. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the recent earnings release and the company's future prospects. Is SMCI a buy or hold at this point? Your insight is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Q: Your thoughts on this one going forward. It has been on a slight downward trend last 3 month or so. I have done well and wondering if take profits, add to it (only 3% position) or just hold for now.

Thanks so much for your guidance.

Q: Hi, I asked a question about HEQT.US (Simplify Hedged Equity ETF) but I think the answer referred to HEQT.TO. I am interested in what you think about this ETF with the following description : The Simplify Hedged Equity ETF (HEQT) seeks to provide capital appreciation by offering US large cap exposure while investing in a series of put-spread collars designed to help reduce volatility.

How would you rate its performance, especially if we assume a sideways to down year? Thanks!

Q: May I please get your thoughts on this company? I like their new non-opioid pain killer that was just approved by the FDA for a strong growth prospect. I am curious what you think about the existing business and the fundamentals/financials of the company. Thanks.

Q: For a buy today, which one, or both and why?
Thanks Again

Q: These two (especially SERV) are tanking this A.M, presumably because of the news that NVDA has dissolved their position in both. My initial thoughts are that this changes nothing of substance for the company (SERV) itself, and especially that it still has its deal with UBER. Of course substance and sentiment are separate animals. In general how does one play this? Do you wait a few days and see what transpires, buy more? Sell? Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Cellebrite stock sank 13% in Thursday trading, post earnings release and closed at its low for the day, on higher than average volume. As of 5.30 PM, stock continues to drift lower in after market.

As per your comments, earnings/guidance was, as expected and nothing really has changed. In your view, this drop could just be profit taking, after its 34% rise over last 3 months.

I find the price action today a little concerning, as if, market had high expectations and company did not deliver that, specially considering the hot digital forensics area, they operate in.

This is a favorite 5i stock and has been recommended for nearly a year, when price was around $19 ( I think ). There should be many 5i members, who follow your lead ( myself included ) and have been generously rewarded, over time ( Thank You !! ).
US small caps, however, are not well followed by Canadian analysts and we depend much on expertise of your team.

It would be really helpful, if you could take a deep dive and comment, if there could be any other factors ( competition, growth rate, order book etc ) which might have contributed the post-earning drop.

Also, do you consider this weakness temporary and with this sharp pullback, would you be comfortable to start a new position or add to existing ownership.

Thank You

Q: Can you expand further as to what caused this drop in price? Any idea as to why Net Income would be lower in 2025? Do you still consider this a top small cap pick in the US (if not what would you recommend beyond CLBT and FOUR)? Is this pullback a buying opportunity?

Q: Completely ignoring CELH's past - just looking forward - how attractive is this company's present valuation? I'm trying to gauge it based on its long term forecasted growth (i.e. present P/E and P/S). Can you comment on PEG? How do these metrics, and any other, compare to a typical company with a similar market cap and projected growth?

Q: What do you think of the recent quarterly results?
Thanks

Q: Would you be comfortable with owning a full position in both Nvidia and Broadcom?

How much overlap is there between their separate businesses?

Q: Hi 5i
What is market expecting from panw earnings today, Thursday and would you be comfortable holding going into earnings?

Who are their main competitors and where would you rank them in comparison.
Would 5i be interested in them and at what price ?
thx

Q: With the drop in both CLBT & ASPN today which one do you believe is the better buy today and why. At what price point would you give each as a good and great buy.
Thank you

Q: Is GLPI a reasonably good addition to the less aggressive side of a portfolio? GLPI was added to RBC’s Global Top 30 Ideas for 4Q2024 (updated last October). It remains on RBC’s top 30 ideas for 1Q2025 (updated January 6). If GLPI would not qualify as one of your own best ideas, which companies would 5i think of as better ideas for someone with no exposure to real estate? (For a deferred tax account; Canadian taxpayer) :sab:

Q: For a RRSP account in which money will need to converted to a RIF in 6 years which technology stock would you buy today. Please list 2 names.

Q What could go wrong ? RAK

Q: Good Morning,

Please comment on Robinhood's latest earnings.

Thank you.

Q: So why is the market so in LOVE with this stock and where does it go from here.
Thanks Again

Q: Should I be buying on this dip this morning or wait? Is this a longer term problem or just a one off of bad news for Datadog?

Q: Hello 5i
Do you favour HOOD or RDDT after recent earnings and forecasts? A short explanation would be appreciated.
Thank you
Dave
