Maxim Röder wrote that a graphic shows why he was still carefree and fully invested in 2023 and 2024, but is now thinking more about it. He explained that the planned investments from Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle have reached historically unprecedented levels. As risks, Röder mentioned that annual investments of one trillion dollars required revenues from AI software amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. Additionally, chips with cycles of three to six years could later burden operating margins due to depreciations. He questioned how much free cash flow would remain for stock buybacks when the funds were flowing into data centers and transformers. Röder wrote that no one knows how the developments will turn out. However, the risk today is significantly higher than in 2023, 2024, or 2025. #Investitionen #BigTech #Risiko (translated)
