Pekka wrote that comments from Broadcom's CEO Hock Tan were said to have pressured AI sector stocks and weakened, among others, CoreWeave's bond markets. According to him, funding would be sufficient for data center projects if demand for AI or its growth rate remained high and investments were deemed profitable. Pekka estimated that large technology companies would continue to expand data centers rapidly in the coming days in their earnings, outlooks, and investment reports. He mentioned a rumor circulating among investors that Meta, which will publish its earnings tomorrow, might seek funding for data centers by diluting its shares, as Google had done. Pekka pondered whether Meta's shareholders would respond positively to this but believed the rumor supported the view of an increased need for data centers. He stated that companies were broadly considering how to utilize AI to enhance their business operations. He assessed that this would increase AI investments, particularly in purchasing tokens from leading Western AI companies, and believed that supply would lag behind demand for years to come. Pekka described the investor sentiment towards data center companies as weak and said they already appeared attractive to him, despite the increased risks. He cited CoreWeave as an example, whose market value, according to him, was below the revenue forecast based on analyst consensus for 2029. Pekka wrote that Nvidia owned 10 percent of CoreWeave and had promised to purchase the company's unsold GPU capacity until 2032 for up to $6.3 billion. He mentioned that he did not own shares in CoreWeave but was considering investing in it. He also justified the bears' question about why Nvidia needed to make such an agreement, speculating that the company would sell fewer chips without it. Pekka noted that AI stocks had risen strongly on average this year and did not believe that easy money was still available for investors. He considered indexes a good alternative for those who did not want to leverage their market view and said he was writing about his views to promote quality investment discussions and better decision-making. He added that this was not an investment recommendation. #pekka #tekoäly #datakeskukset #sijoittaminen (translated)
