Anthropic's compute commitments point to future revenue for Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, Broadcom and Nvidia. Its S-1 reports 14-fold revenue growth, positive second-quarter 2026 EBIT and more than $600 billion committed to compute through 2045. The AI trade is alive and well, more than expected, provided demand keeps pace with those commitments. x.com 

The AI supercycle is backed by real profit growth, not a bubble. Nasdaq-100 earnings-per-share growth just crossed 50%, faster than the post-GFC rebound and every expansion cycle of the last two decades, with revenue growth rising alongside it. Bubbles are built on multiple expansion and nonexistent earnings; this is an acceleration in real cash flow. x.com 

The Nasdaq is fragile because marginal changes in Anthropic's ARR now swing the entire AI complex. Roughly 40% of the Nasdaq depends on Anthropic and OpenAI for capex and cloud spend, while a race to the bottom in token prices is calling into question the labs' business model and the solvency of compute spending. The market's reaction shows how hard it is for the AI narrative to progress at today's scale, valuations and leverage. x.com  x.com  x.com 

NVIDIA's projected earnings growth could support substantial upside without an enormous multiple. At $221.97 it trades at 10.4x estimated FY2029 earnings; even at $350, nearly 58% higher, it would trade near 16.4x. Estimates imply roughly 130% cumulative EPS growth over the next two fiscal years and may be conservative. SpaceX and Meta earnings look bullish for future chip demand. Slower AI spending, margin pressure or competition could undermine the estimates. x.com  x.com 

AI suppliers' demand may not justify today's investment. Roughly $3 trillion in revenue absent last year is needed to support the spending, yet GDP growth is weak and many companies may be seeing only incremental gains. If the estimate that Anthropic uses two-thirds of its compute for training is right, it could triple inference supply. The most likely outcome for many companies, roughly half the S&P 500, is slowing growth, compressed margins and multiples; when the bubble ends is uncertain. … Show more

Disappointing Amazon earnings make a Nasdaq 100 decline to the bottom of its range near 700 look likely tomorrow. It may be forming a range like the one that preceded the decline into the March low, but a sideways phase lasting as long as that one looks unlikely. x.com  x.com 

Anthropic's customer growth gives AI compute suppliers firmer demand evidence than capacity plans. Its S-1 reports $16.3B in H1 2026 revenue and about 900% net retention as of September 30, the strongest evidence yet of adoption. Over $500B in commitments include a roughly $125B five-year Broadcom equipment lease plus Amazon, Google and Microsoft arrangements; Nvidia GPUs are in its mix. Long-term obligations could outlast usage revenue. x.com 

SpaceXAI's projected compute-led revenue could support a $4.3 trillion valuation by end-2027. On a conservative $250 billion revenue estimate, with 80% from AI compute and a 35% operating margin, profits would reach $87.5 billion; at 50 times earnings that implies about $322 a share, roughly double in a year. This depends on projected ARR of $500 billion to $1 trillion by end-2027. x.com 

Forward risks matter more than good earnings for the Nasdaq now. The index looks to be topping and has a good shot at 28,000 before a rally after the midterms; tomorrow's PCE and GDP releases are unlikely to help, and this week's lows could break. x.com  x.com 

Broadcom is one of the easiest AI stocks to understand, built on custom silicon, networking and connectivity, with revenue set to double two years straight. Revenue is projected to go from $58B in FY26 to $115B in FY27 and $230B in FY28. Six customers drive that growth, including Google, Anthropic and OpenAI, which is both the bull case and the risk. x.com
