5 High-Yield Buy Ideas For February: GNG Research Terminal Screening Tutorial Part 5 (And Article Plan For The Next 2 Weeks)

Article Goals For The Next 2 Weeks I was sick on Monday, so I had to reschedule a lot of things. Today, the goal is to complete the high-yield screen that I completed in part 3 of this report series. Adam's Top 9 High-Yield Buy Ideas For February: GNG Research Terminal Screening Tutorial Part 3 (And Mini-GNG Update) In the next 2 weeks, the goals I have (in terms of articles) are: Review the final 4 high-yield blue-chips from that report. Screen for deep value opportunities among mega caps (a lot of recent requests for the “Next BTI Buffett-style Fat Pitch” Screen for the best hyper-growth stocks. All of which allows me to update the Top Buy List for February (Adam’s Top Ideas for March) Which allows for a monthly ZEUS optimization article (since Ultra ZEUS is paying the bills this year and supporting 24 people and counting). This Friday, I’ll also have to set aside a day for the Big Picture Update because the hyperscalers have reported, and that means the quarterly hyperscaler capex consensus table needs updating. The Single Most Important “Bic Picture” Table I Update Each Quarter The AI boom is driving the economy, corporate profits, and the stock market Source: FactSet 2 quarters ago, the consensus for growth spending from 2023 through 2030 was $5.5 trillion. Then, last quarter, hyperscalers raised growth spending guidance, and it was $6 trillion (with free cash flow growth rates accelerating from 18% CAGR to 22% CAGR). This quarter’s reports were blowouts. Meta is now expecting to spend $120 billion (up from $70 billion last quarter). Microsoft only said “significantly more growth spending than last year’s 45% growth rate” - current consensus $100 billion Alphabet was expected to announce $115 billion and double its guidance from $90 billion in 2025 spending to $175 to $185 billion. Amazon started 2025 guiding for $100 billion and actually spent $130 billion, and then announced $200 billion spending plans for 2026. (Amazon plans to double capacity within 2 years….20 years of AWS capacity doubled….in 2 years!) $660 billion in total: +70% YOY after 2025’s 75% capex spending increase.

Micro-Tangent: Because I Know Many Will Panic Over An AI Bubble I want to reassure everyone reading this that the hyperscalers have NOT lost their minds!😉 $1.1 Trillion Cloud Backlog Growing At 95% Per Year Source: DailyChartBook The backlog for AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure has risen to $1.1 trillion. Source: DailyChartBook, ChatGPT 5.2 The 3 cloud giants have $1.1 trillion in contracted revenue, and they are spending $450 billion so they can grow capacity. Growth spending growing 70% in a year sounds crazy BUT if demand is growing 95% then it’s not speculative. If demand is more than supply, then spending more to fulfill demand is NEVER EVER EVER speculative, no matter how large or crazy the numbers get. Source: Charlie Bilello AMZN, AMZN, and GOOGL are expecting to still earn free cash flow this year. $70 billion for MSFT $25 billion for GOOGL and -$25 billion for Amazon So that’s $70 billion in free cash flow AFTER spending $450 billion on growth, out of $1.4 trillion in revenue. And with a backlog that’s 3X bigger than the spending. Since Ultra ZEUS is built around a 20% core of NVDA (63% to 70% EPS growth this year…THE year for being max overweight Nvidia) because 60% to 65% of capex spend flows into their pockets according to Jensen, I have to stay on top of the AI boom more closely than ever. The boom is getting boomier, but how big is it now expected to be? Well, we’ll find out on Friday. Off the top of my head, the size of the increases should raise the 2023 through 2030 spending estimates to around $6.5 to $7 trillion. We have the first 2031
