Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning 5i team,
Could you please offer me your assessment of earnings reports for both ASPN and CLBT as well their financial health and future prospects. Would you be comfortable adding to either stock under current conditions.

Q: Thoughts on earnings?

Specifically I want to ask about these three line items from full year 2024 earnings:

"Total revenue increased 62% year-over-year to $1.3 billion, Ad revenue increased 50% year-over-year to $1.2 billion, and Other revenue reached $114.7 million

Gross margin was 90.5%, an improvement of 430 basis points from the prior year

Free Cash Flow was $215.8 million and capital expenditures were $6.2 million, less than 1% of revenue"

With gross margin being high and Cap-ex being incredibly low; is there something I am missing or is Reddit likely to be very profitable now that the baggage on the books from the IPO is behind them?

How is cap-ex so low? Is that mostly a result of their website having volunteer moderators?

Thanks.

Q: Hi can you please comment on earnings and possible reason for the reaction in after hours trading? as down almost 20% at one point, today looks like it's recovered almost back to yesterday's levels.
and
Seems like not many questions/discussions on 5i about this stock? surprising given it's performance and growth potential.

Q: Your opinion on the Q and the guidance pls

Does it reinforce your positive view long term?
Is there any competition?

Q: I hold these small/mid cap stocks. Most have done well.

It looks like the interest rates vs inflation discussion isn’t going away soon and rates may be higher for longer. With this as the backdrop and current uncertainty around the markets is this a time to lighten up on Small/Mid cap stocks and take some profit? Or would you hold?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Hello 5i
I'm hearing noise about a rotation away from the Mag7 type companies. Could I have your perspective please?
Also what are the expected EPS growth for each of the MAG7 for 2025?
Thank you so much!
Dave

Q: Hi 5i!

Can you comment CRNT and ACLS earnings?

Thank you

Q: What is your opinion of this ETF? The performance history is really good beating the S&P and others over the last 10 years. They have had a couple of splits in the past and hold about 235 stocks in total. I looked at the top holdings and they are almost the same as the VOO /VFV. Would this be a good sub for the VFV or VOO? The price per unit is low

Q: Hi Team,
TTD is plunging after earnings so far this afternoon. What's your take? Has the outlook here soured that quickly? Would you be a buyer, seller, or hold into this extreme weakness?

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: looking to move on from the name. looking to use to fund to buy Tempus Ai, Zedcor or NBIS?

with the hardware AI theme loosing steam and AI software picking up what other names in the US look attractive?

Q: In your answers to question about tariffs on aluminum and steel you suggested that Canadian producers will get hurt as well as US customers who will face higher prices. Are there US suppliers who might benefit if they have excess capacity? Which companies might be in this category?
Thanks
Ian

Q: I used to have a position in Celsius, but I exited it a while back when market sentiment became negative on the company. It has been a falling knife for many months: do you see any point at which it might begin a recovery, or do you see this as a company that could ultimately become bankrupt?


I don’t normally make an investment habit of bottom feeding, but the level of the drop has intrigued me to a degree. I’d really appreciate your insight on this company. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: After today's earnings call, I'm still down 28% overall on these guys. I don't need the $, happy to let it sit for the long run. My question is, am I better off investing that money somewhere else or do you foresee a future where I stand to benefit by sticking with them. If you do suggest moving on, provide a suggestion pls.

Q: What are you expecting from CELH heading into earnings?

Q: Why is FIX down today? It's on my watch list, is it a good day to buy?

Q: Peter, I see that 3 mths gain is 67% and since April 2024 IPO, after a low at 39$, today is at 213.76$!! Too good to be true? I know that you always like to wait after an IPO - NBIS an exception. Is it still time to buy some?
Thks

Q: Can I please have your thoughts on VRT earnings. Do you think it is a good time to initiate a position? Thank-you.

Q: Thank you for your prompt answer; I was not sure whether the company consistently advised much lower prospects or whether there was some seasonality to their earnings. My take is that corporate earnings prospects do need to be as accurate as possible and is an appropriate response, and guidance, to shareholders investment.
