Everyone knows that they're going to have a great quarter. $24.5-25B in revenue, which is 3x that of a year ago. People will be looking at the margins. Gross margins now are 76%, phenomenal. Most importantly, people will look at the guidance, and analyst interviews will be key as they look out to 2025. Will have to see what the competition has in store.
It was all about the picks and shovels. But now it's spread out to what people are calling the AI grid, so the whole energy grid and how energy is going to be sucked over into the AI ecosystem. Everyone's starting to participate.
If AI revolution started back in the fall of 2022, when OpenAI came out, you'd think that by now the software companies would have been able to get some traction. But the end users are still trying to figure out how to monetize the opportunity.
So the best opportunities for this year remain with picks and shovels, such as chip suppliers, designers, data centres. There aren't that many participants when it comes to the real data centres, the two main ones are EQIX and DLR.
In the semiconductor space, you could probably look a little further down the food chain. Loves this one. Small. Favourite for a lot of the giants. Works inside the cloud to make chips more efficient. Makes the data in data centres run faster on less energy.
IPO'd only 2 months ago at $38. Don't put a lot of money in, just a small position. Can buy here at $72-73, and in the low $60s. Doesn't think it will go much below that. Will be a star performer in the years ahead. In the AI trend on the infrastructure side.
