TRADE

NVDA — Event Trade

Setup: Earnings with hyperscale demand in focus; crowd is nervous into the print.

Catalysts: DC order strength, China clarity, HBM commentary.

Plan: Starter pre‑print → add only on strong guide; exit on close below pre‑print low.

TRADE

COHR — Optics Ramp

Setup: 800G today, 1.6T tomorrow; optics = highways between AI racks.

Plan: Ride momentum while DC/networking mix expands; trim if cadence softens.

TRADE

CMI — Genset Follow‑Through

Setup: Grid delays → on‑site power; DC campuses leaning on diesel/nat‑gas.

Plan: Buy dips toward post‑earnings gaps; exit if power‑gen order growth slows.

HOLD

VRT — Power & Cooling Picks‑and‑Shovels

Why: Thermal + power + modular blocks for the “AI factory.” Backlog heavy; secular capex persists.

HOLD

ETN — Switchgear • UPS • Transformers

Why: Electrification tide for datacenters; operators prioritizing power infrastructure expansion.

HOLD

CEG — Nuclear‑Heavy IPP

Why: Long‑dated clean baseload PPAs tied to DC growth; potential re‑rating as “infra with growth.”

SPECULATION

OKLO — Advanced Micro‑Nuclear

Why it’s interesting: Regulatory progress + potential federal/military off‑takes.

SPECULATION

LEU — HALEU Fuel Choke‑Point

Why it’s interesting: Only domestic HALEU path today; essential if SMRs scale.

SPECULATION

APLD — AI Campuses, Levered Torque

Why it’s interesting: Large HPC/AI leases; campus build‑outs can unlock disproportionate upside.

SPECULATION

FCX — Copper for the Grid & AI

Why it’s interesting: Grid expansion + DC wiring = durable multi‑year demand; trade tariff headlines.

What the Crowd May Be Missing

  • Cooling & transformers get dollars before GPUs; pricing can hold longer.
  • Gas turbines as a bridge to nuclear could persist for years; engines/service names benefit.
