Investment Q&A

Q: Your thoughts on keeping three out of 5 pharma names: ETF IHI, Gilead Sciences, Bristol Meyers, Abbvie and just bought Pfeizer few weeks ago - hopeful on the Seagen purchase in 2023. I have room only for 3,

Thank you!

Q: Please share your analysis on FutureFuel please, thanks.

Q: Good evening 5i Team,

Can you please review last week's earnings for IESC, along with your ranking of it for a new investment (three-year hold) comparing it to CBLT, TMDX, ASPEN and AXON. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, Can you provide your expert opinion on IESC. What do you think of the financial results. What is your opinion on valuation. It has had a good year in terms of stock appreciation. Can you comment on the backlog reported also. Is it still a buy, sell or hold.

Q: The subject stocks have all run up fairly significantly. Can you comment on current valuations vs historic, and whether you believe projected earnings support current valuations? Your recent response to a question on volume included that you love new highs with high volume, has that been the case with any of these three stocks?

Q: If not owned would you initiate a position TODAY?

Q: What are your top 3 ETFs (US dollars) for general market exposure?

Q: Hello

Vertiv Holding stock dropped yesterday 10%, apparently, after it was reported that an Independent Director, Steven Reinemund sold 100,000 shares on Nov 20 at an average price of $137. But it was also reported that he still holds 268,333 shares.

You also mentioned about a suit filed against the Co, Friday last week, which, in your view is not material.

We sold our holding earlier this year and intend to take advantage of the drop to restart a position at current level ( $132-133), for long term, due to Co's unique place in managing the data centre infrastructure.

What do you think ?

Thank You

Q: Thoughts on BDX. Healthcare in general has been lagging the market and this company has not produced many gains over the years. Is it time to move on and reallocate money to new area like Quanta Services?

Q: Any comments/opinions about the pending lawsuit?

Q: Hello Team,


Which one these would you consider averaging down:

Twist (down 70%)
SPHR (down 60%)
Roblox (down 30%)

I would appreciate it if you could elaborate on your reasons.

Thank you for all your wisdom and kind support!

Q: Hi team,
What potential , if any do you see in Rblx currently? The shares have been making a slow recovery lately. Wondering if there’s a big future yet for this name, if they have areas to monetize in such as advertising on the platform? Or partnering with someone like meta for a VR metaverse future? Would you rank buy, hold , or sell today ?

Thanks
Shane

Q: Is CPRX a buy for 3 years period? Could you explain what in the fundamentals supports your thesis? Thanks for your analysis !

a) using a US dollar acct
b) using a CDN dollar acct
3-5 for each.

Thanks

Q: In today's G&M there is a profile of a fund managers recent purchases. One I have not heard of before is CACI (It is not one seen on your question list very often). My interest piqued, I took a brief look at the company.

Its' BoD is a list of interesting but I would say not "shining star" corporate leaders in defence tech. Qualified but middle of the road?

EPS seems to be growing; slowly. It appears to me to be in the Defence Info Tech business; supporting decisions and decision making more than making the weapons. This seems to be the evolution based on learnings in current war theatres but I am only scratching the surface.

Since its October earnings release, which seemed OK, its share price has tanked in November from $572 to $479. I can only link this to a court victory in favour of 3 Abu Ghraib prisoners in the amount of $42 million US.

All this leads to the simpler questions; Is this a company in a business segment with a "growth" future, Do the past 10 year metrics support that it has a solid management team, What would be a reasonable entry price point, and what are the key risks facing the firm (ex court decision).

Specific to the court decision, in your opinion is a $100 knock to share price an adequate assessment of the company's liability risk or overreaction to the decision. I would suspect it is not over as usually such things are appealed.

As always, thanks very much,

Dave

Q: I'm not sure what the differences between these companies are? In this theme of electrification, what areas and which specific US and CDN companies would you suggest for a long term hold?

Q: Realize this company is volatile. Purchased it at $11.00. Is it worth holding onto ? It was originally being bought by insiders.

Q: Any thought on this co. with a new insulin pump for diabetics

Q: Good morning,

What's your view on RKLB as a 3 year+ investment? It's already had a great run up in 2024.

Q: I have 1.5% positions in LLY and UFPT. Looking to combine into 1 position. Which would you select right now? Have larger positions in ISRG and VHI as well.
Thanks
