The $279 Billion Tell: The AI Trade Just Got A Lot Harder

Nebius reports $33.585B of remaining performance obligations as of Mar 31, versus the $46B headline; shares fell 15% on July 24 to close $187.77, highlighting execution risk between contracts and capacity delivery Anchor contracts: Microsoft ~ $17.4B (options toward ~$19.4B) and Meta committed $12B, with up to $15B optional - stripping Meta optional capacity leaves roughly $29B of firm hyperscaler commitments Conversion profile concentrates risk - 29% of the $33.59B RPO expected within 24 months, 39% in months 25-48; Nebius has >3.5GW contracted, a >4GW year-end target, and connected power guided to 800MW-1GW by end-2026 Q1 cash dynamics: OCF $2.258B, capex $2.473B, deferred revenue +$3.198B - underlying OCF ~-$940M pre-capex and economic cash consumption ~-$3.4B; closed $775M secured facility at SOFR+2.50% maturing 2030 Valuation vs solvency mismatch - trading ~66x trailing sales versus peers, yet net cash ~$848M (cash $9.30B, debt $8.45B), Altman Z 3.25 and GNG Quant Score 72.0, implying high multiple priced for flawless execution
Big Tech's $725 Billion AI Bet Isn't The Risk - It's The Moat
Exponential AI token demand meets linear supply, creating persistent scarcity and pricing power - Goldman models token consumption rising 24x as autonomous agents run continuously Real-economy adoption is accelerating, Dylan Patel’s firm scaled enterprise API spend from $100k to ~$11M annualized, and customers are cutting legacy software to fund AI FCF margins compressed 8-11pp - MSFT 33%->23%, GOOGL 26%->15%, META 33%->22%, AMZN ~0% - operating margins MSFT 46%, GOOGL 36%, META >40%, AMZN 13%, ROICs 27/29/23/16 Capital intensity is now a moat, securing compute costs ~$200B/year and only 4-5 firms can self-fund ~$190B annual CapEx; hyperscaler RPO backlog $2.1T, growing 185% YoY Buildout funded from internal cash not debt - net debt MSFT $8B, GOOGL $39B, AMZN $17B, META $38B, interest coverage 29x-140x; primary risk is backlog concentration, ~50% tied to OpenAI/Anthropic
Meta Is Spending Like a Cloud Provider. It Might Start Earning Like One.
Bloomberg reports Meta is building a cloud to sell excess AI compute - if confirmed, the $125-145B 2026 capex shifts from 'dead money' to potential revenue-generating capacity and option value Core ad franchise remains high quality - trailing revenue ~$215B, gross margin ~82%, operating margin ~41%; March quarter revenue $56.3B (+33%), ad impressions +19%, price per ad +12% AI spend is already boosting ads - 8M advertisers use generative tools, video generation tests showed >3% conversion lift, value optimization suite now >$20B ARR after doubling year over year Valuation and balance sheet look supportive - shares $583 vs blended fair $750 (~29% upside) and GNG fair $845, forward P/E ~19-20x, PEG <1, Altman Z ~8, net debt/EBITDA ~0.3x, >$80B cash Principal risks to monitor - OCF $32.2B vs FCF $12.4B as capex and leases ~ $19.8B, trailing FCF down ~8% YoY; watch quarterly FCF < ~$10B, further capex raises, and cloud execution or delay
Why We Bought 30% More MercardoLibre & Own The Future Update
Mercado Libre just reported 49% sales growth and a big investment push and the market punished it with a 12% selloff. ZEUS bought 30% more MELI. Operating cash flow per share growth of 101% confirms management's claims that they are choosing to keep margins low to become the dominant retailer/financial company in Latin America. 36% EPS growth consensus and 40% CAGR operating cash flow growth means that MELI is around 60% undervalued (65% based on PEGY). Fattest Pitch I know. 65% CAGR return potential through 2029 and 101% return potential justified by fundamentals by end of 2026. AI spending? The estimates for hyperscalers are up another $1.1 trillion this quarter, that's $2.6 trillion increase (5 year) over 3 quarters up to $5.7 trillion over next 5 years. Total growth spending is $8.5 trillion over the next 5 years which is equal to the growth spending of the US, EU and China...combined (on average) each year. By 5 hyperscalers. FCF/share growth is now expected to be 18% for the S&P and 20% for the Nasdaq, 3X and 2X historical norms. S&P is 20% undervalued on PEGY and Nasdaq 25%. The backlog for cloud computing at hyperscalers is $2.1 trillion and growing at 143% (up from 95% last quarter). Profits can grow to the sky as long as demand grows faster than supply😉
