Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on Axon, its fundamentals including cash and debt positions, insider holdings, as well as its potential going forward. Also is there something we should be concerned about in light of its 10% drop today preceded by poor momentum over the past several weeks. Thanks.

Q: AXON stock has been quite weak, over past several weeks, going into the close of 2024. The downtrend has continued in January, with a horrible price action, Monday, when stock opened at $605 and quickly lost another $50.

It's 5i's favorite company, and has all the right ingredients for success, AI, security, expectation of larger spending on border/law enforcement by new administration.

Why do you think stock has lost momentum and investors seem to shun the stock and sell at every opportunity ?

Stock has broken down several support levels and after reaching a high of $698, not far ago, is languishing around $550.

What is your current assessment of the Co. and is the stock still worth holding for
investors who bought at higher levels ( $625-$650) ?

Thank You

Q: Hello 5i,
I’m wondering why Axon is down over 8% today? Have the fundamentals suddenly changed? Would you be buyers at this level? I appreciate your comments.

Q: Any particular reason for the relatively large decline today?

Q: I understand CRM, a software company, is getting into AI via software. Does 5iR know any other S&P 500 software companies doing the same thing???.....Happy New Year ......Tom

Q: Good Morning and Seasons Greetings to the 5i team and everyone out there.
If you had to start a new TFSA account what 15 to 20 stocks, ETF,s Etc. would you buy in order of first to last. US and Canadian mix?

Thank You

Q: With the CAD losing ground to the USD, is it still worth converting Canadian dollars to buy US stocks? If yes, what would be your 5 top growth stocks for 2025?
Thanks

Q: I have a 1% position in CLBT and AXON at 2.5%. In a recent question, you were asked to rank 8 stocks; AXON was put first and CLBT was 7th. Do you see these 2 companies as different enough to offer diversification to a portfolio? Regardless, I probably have more holdings than I really need; if it were you would you consolidate CLBT into AXON? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: For US industrial, would you choose ROAD or AXON today?

Q: Hello 5i
Could you rank the above stocks for a 3-5 year TFSA hold with a medium to high risk tolerance in mind.
Thank you

Q: AXON stock has taken a breather after reaching a high of $690, recently.

There have been some analysts' upgrades ( Price target as high as $800 ) and renewed enthusiasm in this Co., in light of the reports that the new incoming US administration will be focused on more spending on protecting US borders and law enforcement.

AXON stock's addition to Nasdaq 100 Index ( Dec 23 ) was also confirmed, this morning.

Many companies involved in production of military grade drones have also seen their stocks flirting with new highs, after reported sighting of drones in some parts of US and its defense bases.

All of above bodes well, I believe, for AXON Enterprises, being a pioneer in some of the most modern technologies and innovation to support the growing security needs of the Governments. Do you suspect that there could be a meaningful impact of possible US tariffs and competition from its larger US competitors?

How do you see the company's growth trajectory and its capability to justify its high valuation (per your recent comments)? The volatility of this stock was in full display, in Monday's trading when, after reports of Nasdaq 100 inclusion, some investors took profit and stock traded as low as $603, after opening much higher.

We recently initiated a position and after some addition, today have a 1.5%, weight ( ACB $635 ). Would you be comfortable adding on dips like today for long term, as a core holding ?

Thank You

Q: Axon is down over 7% today. Any reason for the drop and would you recommend hoding on to the stock. Any comments you have on the company would be appreciated. Thank You.

Q: Looking for growth. What do you think of Axon & Isrg for a 5 year hold and how would you split a $20,000 U.S.investment between them?

Q: I am losing patience with ULTA and am thinking of using this recent bump to top up my AXON and ISRG. I have a half position in both these later two stocks. Do you have any thoughts?

Q: Would you please suggest 5 CAN and 5 US growth stocks for my TFSA. Thank you.

Q: What is 5i opinion of Investor Business Daily service? They publish an IBD50 and IBD Big Cap 20 list. Have you looked at these names on the list over any period of time and is it a valuable tool? You may not be able to answer this if you don't use the service but if you do out of the names on the lists what would be your top 5-7 names?

Q: Axon has had a huge move up

Would you buy at this price or wait for a better entry ?if so what price
What upside do u see for 2 years plus hold
Or would u invest in clbt alternatively ?do u see upside for next 2 years plus ?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Could you please expand on an answer to V on the 20 stocks to purchase today if you were to start over? We are assuming that stocks/ETF’s are equal weight and the recommendation is considered a growth portfolio. If not, please elaborate. We were also surprised to see Prudential on the list.

If you were 70+ would you alter the list slightly?

If you were in your mid 30’s and 40’s now and have limited funds (30k-70k) would you recommend purchasing all the stocks/ETF’s equally and expand over time or are there specific stocks/ETF’s that would be considered a “starter pack”?

Thank you so much for your website and advice.

Q: What do you view as the likelihood of AXON acquiring CLBT? They have a partnership in place and with CLBT looking for a new CEO, AXON might see an opportunity.

Q: Hi, Axon or Four today for best high growth over 3-5 years? Thank you.
