Investment Q&A

Q: What did you learn from the NBIS quarterly report? Any key points regarding their fundamentals? Would you add to a position this morning?

Q: Hello Team,

I am looking at adding a half position of one of the above companies in my TFSA. Can you please rank them in order with the most potential return over the next 3 years. Thanks

Q: Can you give me 3 US strong conviction growth stocks in tech?
Thank You

Q: I took an initial position in Nebius in mid January with the thought of test-driving it for a few months before adding more. I’ve seen a tremendous rebound in Nebius since Deepseek shook the tech and energy supplier stocks. In fact, the rebound has been so strong I find I’m starting to struggle with FOMO impulses. Patience is one thing but seeing the stock perform for the very reasons I bought in is making me question a lengthier timeline to get to my intended full position.
My question is twofold: 1) Why is this stock performing so well given recent volatility in tech stocks?
2) If this was your money, would Nebius’ recent performance encourage you to accelerate your timeline to get to a full position?
I realize the simple answer is if one wants to get to a full position, then go for it. My thinking, however, is 5i members might find it instructive to hear how an experienced stock analyst would process this decision. Thanks so much for your advice!

Q: Hi,
Between these high growth names, which do you like best and how would you rank as best risk adjusted return to start a new position? Thanks!

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: 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: 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 you provide a short list of small or mid cap US stocks that you would recommend?

Q: I've held XYZ in a reg account for a while now awaiting a recovery (down 50%) that never seems to take hold. I have to imagine there are much better opportunities, particularly in the US tech space. What would be some suggestions for replacement I could explore. I've had my eye on FOUR for a while, thoughts on this one as well would be very much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Q: Using your SMID rotation theme in the i2i report, please suggest a basket of stocks that fit this theme and an entry price if it's beneficial to wait for a pullback. Would you look at buying, for example, 5 or so at 2%? Thanks!

Q: Can you walk through possible reactions of the market when NBIS reports next. Given that the financials are reflecting both the old Yandex and the very new NBIS there is a severe disconnect and fog about what is happening.
Who is buying the stock now and will the market be able to sort out a clear picture of a stock which will apparently show a dramatic drop in revenue in the report.

Q: One of your readers noticed that you made a great call on this one! Now that it's more in the public eye, would it still be worth jumping in after it's sudden and rapid price increase? If not, what are two or three other US stocks that you see as high growth over the relatively short-term to midterm?

Q: Hi. I totally missed the boat on Palantir. When the stock was in the high 20s, my beliefs and lots of what I read was confirming that the stock was over priced (at least that is what I thought), and I felt same as the stock rose to the 30s, 40s, .... and now over a hundred. And I still feel that the stock will need to correct at some time, as it has a trailing P/E in excess of 500 and possibly a P/E of at least 300+ looking forward. I made exactly the same mistake with many other companies such as Netflix, Facebook, .... I know that small, newer companies can exponentially increase their profits as they grow up but there is no guarantee that they will be successful (let alone be excessively successful).
So my question is three fold (please deduct necessary credits).
1. What did I do wrong here? I watched the stock go up and up and never pulled the trigger, thinking it was always too expensive. I sometimes feel it is more of a meme stock.
2. Would you buy Palantir at these prices / why?
3. Do you feel that there may be some other companies out there that may be in their early days (or well established) with lots of room to grow. If yes, your listing a few of your top convictions, along with a sentence (or two) explaining your rationale and intuition would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

Q: I just wanted to say well done to 5i Research. Today I was watching CNBC and someone from Alger Funds was on talking about AI investing. Her name was Ankur Crawford. At the end of the piece, she was asked to give an AI investment. She named Nebius, and said it was completely under the radar, undiscovered, had great potential and "some of the greatest AI engineers in the world." You guys seemed to have beaten the crowd to this one. Now I have to try to buy it as it goes up tomorrow!

Q: Hi Peter and team,
Can you recommend five U.S. and five Canadian diversified stocks with medium to high risk, strong growth potential, and at least positive earnings?

Q: What would be your pick right now for a tech stock for the long-term in a RRSP (3+ years)? Can you provide a few names in order of preference?

Q: Hi Folks,

Can you suggest 3 conservative growth stocks and 3 aggressive growth stocks for each the U.S. side and the Canadian side that you would be buyers of today for a 5 year hold?
Many thanks for your sage advice through the ups and downs of this turbulent market!

Q: Dear 5i
Could you please rank the above listed stocks from best ie most likely to be worth a lot more after 3-4 years to the least best ie more likely to not do as well over the same 3-4 year time period . I'm also assuming that when i say best i mean companys that not only have great growth profiles but also have descent management and solid products and /or services that will likely remain in high demand for years to come .
Thanks once again
Bill C

Q: Could you recommend five companies that could benefit from the advancement of robotics?
