Diversified cash flows in the billions make the AI-buildout basket more appealing than standalone model companies. Many members look reasonably priced and have longer records of delivering returns; Anthropic and OpenAI look much more like gambles at current valuations, though either could appeal at the right price. A possible equal-weight portfolio to revisit in five years includes Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle and SpaceX. x.com  x.com 

The alpha now lies in cheap Magnificent Seven stocks about to reap biblical returns from their capex, with Meta, Amazon and Nvidia the top three picks. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Magnificent Seven stocks face continued pressure as AI capex keeps eating their free cash flow with no sign of slowing, and the market is not rewarding the builders for now despite the returns. The recipients of that spending in power, grid, chips and materials, such as TSMC, GE Vernova, Micron and ASML, look better. Concern is greatest for Tesla and Meta, whose recent moves seem disconnected and whose AI showcase was embarrassing; Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and Alphabet are less concerning. x.com 

Apple's ecosystem and services, Nvidia's AI chips and software, Palantir's AI platform, Tesla's potential growth drivers and Meta's scale make these five stocks hard to bet against. Apple has loyal customers; Palantir can help businesses and governments use complex data; Tesla is betting on autonomy, robotics and energy; and Meta's users, ad technology and cash flow support continued AI investment. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Alphabet's businesses beyond search are why it will lead the real AI boom. Google Cloud, DeepMind and Waymo broaden its reach, and its $900 million SpaceX investment is now worth $85 billion. Fear emerging as the shares fall is an opportunity; a decline toward the buy zone is welcome, even as Q3 capex has taken a large hit out of free cash flow. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

The Magnificent Seven are set to underperform other parts of tech as buybacks shrink and capex rises. Per Goldman Sachs, consensus sees hyperscaler capex of $755B in 2026, up 83% and reaching 100% of operating cash flow; Q1 buybacks fell 64% year over year, and shareholder returns now take 20% of spending versus 34% in 2017-2022. Nvidia has already underperformed and may be owed some catch-up, but its huge valuation makes its old growth rate hard to sustain. x.com  x.com 

Nvidia's robotics and autonomous-vehicle opportunities are not yet baked into its valuation. The stock looks super cheap here and ranks first among the Magnificent Seven for investment attractiveness. x.com  x.com 

The Magnificent Seven will keep making investors rich and should consistently outperform the market, because they are super cheap relative to the S&P 500's P/E. The group covers Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Alphabet and Meta, along with the MAGS ETF that holds them. x.com 

Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft and Meta are not getting cheap; their multiples are sliding because separate monopolies are turning into one competitive market. They now spend enormous sums to sell the same AI to the same customers, funded largely by cyclical ads, on unproven returns. Microsoft faces AI eating per-seat licensing, Amazon fights in both retail and cloud, Alphabet's search premium is gone, and Meta keeps going all in for less. Markets can't price not knowing what a business will be. … Show more
