AI hardware stocks caught in a supply chain bottleneck are going parabolic now, given so much demand and limited supply. And yet Sandisk is trading at only 9-10x and their income margin has shot up from 5% last October to now 70%. They command extreme prices. Ultimately, hardware will see competition enter this space. You can't have 5 years of backlog and 1,500 data centres by 2028 at the same time. Software: do these companies have a subscription or usage-based model? Ultimately, AI will disrupt the subs model, but if you provide a service and infrastructure to AI agents, this is positive (usage-based), like Datadog and Snowflake. He likes software and the Q1 sell-off of 50-70% piqued his interest, but these businesses are still growing 10-30% topline and very profitable. He dove in. These stocks are a lot less attractive now than in Q1. That sell-off was partly due to short covering. The ones that have since gone parabolic will catch their breath, so any pullback would be a buy.
Dollar-cost average over a year if you're excited by the name. The valuation is at nosebleed levels. You can buy a tranche and closely watch the lock-up sales. His concern is where the funds to buy all these shares will come from, for both SpaceX and Anthropic. If the funds come out of cash, that's good for the market, but if it means selling other shares, that's not good. He expects it to come from net cash. Would you pay taxable gains to sell NVDA in order to buy SpaceX? A risk is a deluge of insider selling. Overall, he will avoid SPCX.
We again reiterate VDY, a one-stop holding for Canadian income generation of high quality companies that has faired well during this recent market uncertainty as a TOP PICK and pays a reasonable dividend. We recommend maintaining the stop at $69, looking to achieve $87 -- upside potential over 16%. Yield 3.5%
