AI And Data Centers

AI spending is producing strong growth, but volatile markets and heavy funding needs make cash generation and valuation key filters. Power and cooling demand offer another route beyond chipmakers.

• Palantir (PLTR): Q3 revenue rose 96% to $2.31B and FY2026 guidance reached $8.53B; exceptional growth meets a roughly $400B valuation.
• AMD: Q3 revenue grew 45% and Data Center revenue 97%; Q4 guidance of about $17B is the next demand test.
• Vertiv (VRT): Revenue grew 61% and orders more than doubled, benefiting from data-center power demand; valuation may already reflect optimism.
• Nebius (NBIS): AI-compute growth is promising, but financing costs and delivery of its $7–$9B ARR target by year-end next year are pivotal.

Search And Cloud

Alphabet’s AI transition is colliding with search-disruption fears, while cloud growth and AI monetization could support a gradual recovery. Amazon’s cloud opportunity similarly depends on returns from substantial investment.

• Alphabet (GOOGL): Shares fell sharply amid Search concerns; track search monetization, cloud growth, and cash flow before assuming a bottom.
• Amazon (AMZN): A $350 fair-value estimate implies about 40% upside, but heavy AI spending and negative free cash flow are material risks.
• Shopify (SHOP): Q3 revenue grew 32% and GMV 29.5%; AI-powered shopping is an early opportunity, not yet a proven catalyst.

Consumer Growth

Grab paired record scale with stronger cash generation, while Uber’s upside case awaits earnings confirmation. Attractive growth and valuation estimates still require execution.

• Grab (GRAB): Q3 revenue reached $1.12B; FY EBITDA growth guidance rose to 60%, with $400M in buybacks cited.
• Uber (UBER): A $90 fair-value estimate suggests roughly 33% upside; assess upcoming earnings before adding.

Macro And Risk

The selloff is broad, and market timing remains uncertain; sources emphasize position sizing and avoiding leverage. Bitcoin has a cited support area, but its recovery thesis needs confirmation.

• Bitcoin (BTC): Near $78,000, it needs to reclaim $80,000 for a more convincing recovery; a drop into the $60,000s remains a downside scenario.
