Macro thesis - market structure is bifurcating, forcing capital to choose sides, with the economic middle at risk of structural decline from H2 2026 through 2030 and beyond Alphabet data shows token processing rose from 9.7 trillion to 3.2 quadrillion monthly, a >300x increase, underscoring explosive AI demand and compute-energy economics Market phase shift - after 18 months of broad AI outperformance we are in a digestion phase where firms must prove utilization, pricing power and ROI, raising stock selection risk Macro tension - AI-driven deflation and labor displacement clash with sovereigns running it hot via fiscal spending, subsidies and security budgets, creating uneven inflation pressures Portfolio action - adopt a barbell: overweight AI application leaders with proven unit economics and pricing power, plus real assets or energy producers, underweight leveraged legacy mids
