“This is one that I will keep on the ready to buy whenever there's a future dip.” — ▶ 18:50

The analyst views Lamb Research as a fundamentally strong company with a critical role in the AI hardware supply chain, evidenced by its high revenue growth and strong balance sheet. However, the stock is currently overextended technically, trading significantly above its 200-day moving average. He would buy on a pullback to $135-$145 for a better risk-to-reward entry.

“But if I'm looking for a single entry point with a really good risk-to-reward, I'd probably wait for a pullback of around 135 to $145.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber recommends Lamb Research due to its critical role as a supplier of wafer fabrication equipment to the semiconductor industry, which is expected to see sustained growth from the AI boom. He highlights its strong historical performance with a 43% 5-year CAGR and its dividend yield, despite being low, as a benefit during market downturns.

“This is why lamb research is up over 73% in the trailing 12 months than a 20% kager or compounded annual growth rate at the three-year Mark and a 43% keger at the 5-year Mark and as a quick reminder kager or compounded annual growth rate is saying that it averaged an annual return of 43% every year over those 5 years and that happens to be an exceptionally High number where the volume is a decent number which happens to give the stock liquidity in case you need to sell it and the dividend yield is at 0.74% now I realized that's not a very high dividend but I can't disagree with that level of growth and if you're concerned about the future growth for semiconductors and Tech in looking at this graph it gives us an estimated road map for technology adoption from mobile internet where the hardware and Chip Manufacturing in gold is the beginning of that life cycle which also seems to hold true for the growth within artificial intelligence I happen to love this stock and I've had it for quite a while where it gives me great growth but I also appreciate that it also gives me a dividend to help during those Market downturns” — ▶ 03:00

The YouTuber recommends Integrys for its supply of ultra-pure chemicals and materials essential for advanced chip manufacturing, including HBM. He highlights that while advanced chips are a small percentage of wafers, they drive a disproportionately large share of Integrys' revenue due to their high material intensity, which increases with each new node, ensuring continued growth.

The YouTuber recommends Applied Materials, a supplier for semiconductor manufacturing, despite past hits from China restrictions. The company has strong fundamentals, continued growth in semiconductors, and a decent PEG ratio of 1.57. Its stock is trading nearly 20% below its 200-day SMA, presenting a good opportunity. Analysts project a 32% upside.

“And their 200 day SMA is at $191, which is nearly 20% higher than what it's trading at today. They happen to have great financials, solid growth planned in, and they're trading well below their 200 day SMA.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber suggests Teradyne for its specialized testing solutions for HBM, noting the launch of its Magnum 7H. While overall revenue has slipped, he points out the explosive growth in its DRAM test revenue and the increasing percentage of its business dedicated to AI, indicating a strong pivot towards the growing memory market.

“As memory goes vertical, the part of Teradyne that's exploding is exactly the part that's winning.” — ▶ 12:20

The YouTuber suggests Terradine, a semiconductor equipment company that provides test platforms for AI chips. He notes that despite strong Q1 results with 241% EPS growth driven by AI demand, the stock fell, creating a buying opportunity. Terradine's technology is crucial for testing high-bandwidth memory (HBM) in AI accelerators, and the company is expanding into AI data center connectivity and test software.

“In April, Terradine reported Q1 results that beat expectations on every metric. earnings per share grew 241% year over year with AI-related demand making up nearly 70% of their total revenue. And their reward for this? The stock fell 19% on the news.” — ▶ 01:14:40

The YouTuber recommends Rambus due to its critical role in the memory interface, specifically with DDR5 modules and HBM4 controllers, and its royalty-based business model. He highlights its significant operating income growth and high operating margins, noting that it gets paid twice on the same chip. However, he acknowledges an ongoing antitrust inquiry as a risk.

“Rambus gets paid twice on the very same chip. Once to build it, and once to license it. And that royalty engine carries straight into its HBM 4E controller for the next generation of memory.” — ▶ 5:00

The YouTuber presents Kulicke and Soffa as a speculative, higher-risk pick due to its pioneering work in advanced packaging for HBM, specifically a cleaner welding method. He acknowledges its recent revenue decline and near break-even status, emphasizing that the investment case is entirely forward-looking, banking on its advanced packaging line ramping up for 2027 HBM volume.

“So, this happens to be that speculative patient higher risk pick that's on the stack. It's the one that you choose to hold because of where it memory packaging is heading, not exactly for what it's earning today.” — ▶ 15:40

The YouTuber advises against buying SpaceX on day one due to its extremely high valuation of 95 times sales, which he compares to an Nvidia valuation of $24 trillion. He notes that hot IPOs often pop initially but underperform over the next year, citing Robinhood as an example, and suggests waiting for a more reasonable entry point.

“I am not planning to buy SpaceX on day one. And it has nothing to do with whether I believe in space because honestly I do. It's just that no company is worth almost a hundred times its revenue.” — ▶ 09:00

The YouTuber plans to buy SpaceX shares after the initial lockup period expires, likely in December. He believes the initial valuation of 95 times sales is too high, making it an expensive animal, and expects a potential price drop when early investors are able to sell their shares, similar to other IPOs that underperform after their initial pop.

“That makes December the window that I'm going to be watching for. And that's when I'm going to be start to looking at the right time to buy.” — ▶ 10:00

The YouTuber recommends WQTM as his top pick for long-term quantum exposure, citing its genuine focus on pure-play quantum companies, with the four leaders in the space being its largest positions. He believes it strikes a good balance between being genuinely pure quantum and having enough history and holdings to be trustworthy, offering genuinely new exposure compared to broad tech funds.

“And my number one is WQTM. Because for me, it's in the sweet spot. It is genuinely pure quantum, the four leaders are its biggest positions, but it has been around long enough and holds enough names that I trust it as the cleanest long-term way to own this whole space today.” — ▶ 13:50

The YouTuber holds IonQ as part of his individual quantum stock portfolio, which he describes as 'asymmetric bets' on companies with high growth potential. He notes that IonQ is one of the few pure-play quantum companies with meaningful revenue, and he invests in it with a small, survivable position, expecting significant returns if the technology proves successful.

“Now, for those of you that would rather own the individual stocks yourselves, let me show you exactly how I do it because I do own all four of these quantum names directly.” — ▶ 14:30

The YouTuber notes IonQ's substantial growth in backlog and revenue, tripling year over year. He also points to their proposed acquisition of SkyWater Technology, which would give them control over the entire manufacturing process on US soil, potentially opening doors for Pentagon contracts.

“Today, it's nearly five times that. Revenue tripled year over year, up 202% and they announced a $1.8 billion acquisition of SkyWater Technology, which is a trusted US semiconductor foundry.” — ▶ 4:58

The YouTuber recommends Ion Q, highlighting its transition from a research story to an operating business with significant quarterly revenue jumps. He notes its strategy of selling systems at near cost to embed with customers, its technical lead in qubit fidelity, and the shift from selling hardware to becoming a platform. The key metric is continued revenue trajectory.

“Ion Q is pushing both forward at the same time and that's finally starting to show up in their real results.” — ▶ 12:20

The YouTuber identifies IONQ as a high-risk, high-reward 'pure play' quantum builder. He notes its strong year-to-date performance, presence on AWS Bracket and Azure Quantum, and a significant 20x speed-up on a drug chemistry problem. IONQ's trapped ion qubits offer fewer errors and better performance, with real paying customers like Chattanooga's electric utility, positioning it as a potential 'TSMC of quantum computing'.

“If quantum dominance happens in four years, Ionq is positioned to be the TSMC of quantum computing.” — ▶ 11:50

The YouTuber strongly advises avoiding QPUX for long-term investment due to its nature as a 2x leveraged daily reset fund. He explains that while it appears to offer concentrated pure-play quantum exposure, the daily reset mechanism and leverage decay can severely erode capital over weeks and months, especially in volatile sectors, illustrating with an example of an 82% loss despite the underlying assets performing well.

“Let's start with the one that I would stay away from completely. And that would be the leveraged fund, QPEX. I already showed you what that daily reset can do to your money. And it's simply not something that I would ever hold for the long term.” — ▶ 12:40

The YouTuber advises avoiding QTUM as a pure quantum play because it is primarily composed of chip stocks and AI/data companies, with only a small percentage truly dedicated to quantum computing. While it offers exposure to foreign semiconductor companies, it significantly overlaps with existing broad tech funds like QQQM, meaning investors might be doubling down on existing holdings rather than gaining new quantum exposure.

“Number three on my list is QTUM. And look, it's the biggest, it's the most established, and the easiest one to buy today, but as we just saw, it is barely even a quantum fund. So, I have it as third on my list precisely because you're mostly buying chip stocks, not quantum.” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber suggests the Defiance Quantum ETF as an option for investors who prefer a basket approach rather than picking individual quantum stocks. He notes it has been around the longest in the space, offering a diversified entry point.

“If you'd rather hold a basket than pick individual names, the Defiance Quantum ETF has been around the longest in this space.” — ▶ 16:40

The YouTuber suggests buying QTUM, allocating 10% of his AI industrial stack portfolio as a 'moonshot' investment. He views quantum computing as the highest risk but with potential for significant returns. He highlights that QTUM invests in the entire quantum trinity (hardware, software, infrastructure), allowing investors to get exposure without picking a single winner in a volatile industry.

“In this case, I'd be putting the full 10% into the Defiance Quantum ETF of QTUM because in my mind, quantum is the highest risk.” — ▶ 17:50

The YouTuber suggests the Defiance Quantum ETF (QTUM) as an option for diversified exposure to the quantum sector, especially for those seeking lower risk than individual stocks. He highlights that it smooths out returns by holding 77 companies, avoiding massive losses while also limiting massive wins compared to picking individual high-performers like IONQ. Despite the expense ratio, it offers a solid return that outpaces the S&P 500.

“This gives you exposure to the entire quantum sector on one ticker. It's got like 77 companies all in one trade.” — ▶ 19:50

The YouTuber views QTUM as a 'sleeper fund' with significant upside, believing analysts' projections are too low. He argues that Quantum Computing is just beginning to gain momentum, with many holdings also important for current AI, and notes a recent surge in fund inflows.

“another opinion of mine is that this is a sleeper fund where I can easily see the analyst being a little bit wrong with their forecast and this fund having a little bit more Runway than expected” — ▶ 6:20

The YouTuber holds D-Wave as part of his individual quantum stock portfolio, which he describes as 'asymmetric bets' on companies with high growth potential. He notes that D-Wave uses quantum annealing, a distinct approach to quantum computing, and he invests in it with a small, survivable position, expecting significant returns if the technology proves successful.

“Now, for those of you that would rather own the individual stocks yourselves, let me show you exactly how I do it because I do own all four of these quantum names directly.” — ▶ 14:30

The YouTuber recommends D-Wave as a 'pure play' quantum company that is already generating revenue by solving optimization problems with quantum annealing. He notes their Advantage 2 system, strong year-over-year revenue growth, and partnerships with AWS Bracket and Deloitte Canada. D-Wave's hybrid solvers leverage classical and quantum computing, ensuring profitability even if the quantum part isn't perfect.

“D-Wave is one of the few quantum companies where if you ask them to show you the money, they actually have an answer.” — ▶ 14:40

The YouTuber is buying D-Wave, a pure-play quantum computing company, due to its recent advancements, including the general availability of its sixth-generation quantum computer. Despite not yet being profitable, its significant revenue growth and bookings indicate that quantum computing is becoming practical, offering substantial long-term growth potential.

“D-Wave had shocked investors a couple weeks ago with their Q1 revenue of 15 million. That was up 509%.” — ▶ 7:40

The YouTuber views D-Wave Quantum as a leader in the early stages of quantum computing, an area with extreme growth potential. He expects revenue and margins to grow as they push for government adoption, noting they've beaten forecasts regularly. He advises buying on dips due to stock price volatility.

“I see quantum computing as being an area of extreme growth over time. And in my opinion, we're in the early innings of this particular game. And they've already been beating forecasts semi-regular in the lower right. And analysts see D-Wave with over 50% upside.” — ▶ 10:00

The YouTuber is buying D-Wave Quantum early, anticipating exponential growth in quantum computing technology and resources over the next 3-5 years, accelerated by AI. He notes D-Wave's partnership with Kerasif Technology to provide quantum computing access to US government agencies, with analysts forecasting 13% upside.

“I'm simply taking the approach of getting in early to be way ahead of it.” — ▶ 17:50

The YouTuber is buying D-Wave Quantum due to its low market cap of $290 million, making a 10x growth to $2.9 billion realistic. Despite weak fundamentals as a startup burning cash, the company is a leader in quantum computing technology, which is seen as a future growth area. The current low price makes it an attractive long-term investment.

“overall the stock is touching on future technology that isn't widely adopted or available to most of us but it is priced low enough right now that I'm willing to invest a few thousand into it and just write it out for the next decade” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber holds Quantum Computing Incorporated as part of his individual quantum stock portfolio, which he describes as 'asymmetric bets' on companies with high growth potential. He notes that the company is built around photonics, a distinct approach to quantum computing, and he invests in it with a small, survivable position, expecting significant returns if the technology proves successful, despite acknowledging a current securities fraud lawsuit.

“Now, for those of you that would rather own the individual stocks yourselves, let me show you exactly how I do it because I do own all four of these quantum names directly.” — ▶ 14:30

The YouTuber highlights Quantum Computing Inc.'s extremely low 2025 revenue, a major warning in its 10-K, and ongoing securities fraud lawsuits alleging the company overstated its relationship with NASA. He labels it as the highest-risk name on the list due to these serious allegations and financial concerns.

“Qubit's 2025 revenue was only $682,000. And their 10-K carries a major warning with it. On top of all that, the company's facing securities fraud lawsuits.” — ▶ 8:15

The YouTuber presents QUBt as a high-risk 'penny stock' with significant upside if photonic quantum computing proves to be the winning architecture. He highlights their development of a quantum photonics foundry in Arizona and existing purchase orders. If successful, QUBt could become a strategic acquisition target for major tech companies, with analysts projecting over 30% upside.

“If Photonix proves out as a scalable quantum computing approach, then QBT becomes a strategic acquisition target for the likes of Intel, Nvidia, or someone in that tier.” — ▶ 15:50

The YouTuber holds Rigetti as part of his individual quantum stock portfolio, which he describes as 'asymmetric bets' on companies with high growth potential. He notes that Rigetti uses superconducting circuits, a different approach to quantum computing, and he invests in it with a small, survivable position, expecting significant returns if the technology proves successful.

“Now, for those of you that would rather own the individual stocks yourselves, let me show you exactly how I do it because I do own all four of these quantum names directly.” — ▶ 14:30

The YouTuber expresses concern about Rigetti's concentration risk, with two contracts representing 63% of its 2026 revenue estimate, and notes that delivery timelines for these have already shifted. He suggests that owning Rigetti is a bet on their ability to catch up with larger competitors like IBM and Google.

“There are two contracts that represent 63% of Rigetti's 2026 revenue estimate. It's an order from India's C-DAC research organization for a 108 qubit system and a Novara QPU hardware. And those delivery timelines have already shifted from the first half to the second half of 2026.” — ▶ 7:30

The YouTuber presents Regetti as a 'pure play' quantum builder with a comeback story and significant government backing. He highlights their pioneering chiplet architecture for scalable quantum systems and strong government contracts from DARPA and the Air Force. Regetti's ownership of Fab One gives them control over the entire quantum chip stack, making them a potential modular platform provider.

“The government is betting big on Regetti. DARPA selected Regetti for their quantum benchmarking initiative to build utility scale systems by 2033.” — ▶ 12:55

The YouTuber suggests CQTM is worth watching or leaning into, placing it second on his list. He highlights its low expense ratio, active management, high concentration in pure-play quantum names (IonQ and D-Wave making up nearly half), and its focus on post-quantum security. However, he advises caution due to its very recent launch (less than a month old) and lack of track record, wanting to see it prove itself more before a strong long-term recommendation.

“The only real reason this one's not my number one is that it's just a few weeks old and I want to watch it prove itself just a little bit more before I'm willing to put some long-term faith in it.” — ▶ 13:38

Bloom Energy, a solid oxide fuel cell manufacturer, captures demand from hyperscalers seeking to bypass the grid due to long connection times and Hormuz-induced volatility. Bloom's ability to ship working power plants within months, directly to data centers, has led to transformative contracts with Oracle, AEP, and Brookfield. The company has flipped to positive operating income and is experiencing rapid revenue growth, driven by product mix shift.

“In their latest quarter, their revenue has grown 130% year over year, but the product line grew 208% on its own.” — ▶ 01:24:00

The YouTuber suggests Bloom Energy as the only public pure-play on behind-the-meter power generation for data centers. The company's recent quarter exceeded consensus with 130% revenue growth and 31.5% gross margin. Oracle's agreement to procure up to 2.8 gigawatts of Bloom's fuel cell systems, with over half of Bloom's data center backlog now from hyperscalers, demonstrates strong demand and scaling manufacturing capacity.

“Oracle agreed to procure up to 2.8 gigawatts of Bloom's fuel cell systems, with 1.2 gigawatts already contracted. And more than half of Bloom's data center backlog now comes from hyperscalers, NeoClouds, and co-location providers beyond Oracle.” — ▶ 01:18:00:00

Powell Industries, a designer of custom electrical equipment, benefits from both AI data center construction and the strengthening case for US-based LNG exporters due to Hormuz risks. The company secured a $400 million mega order for AI data center switchgear and sees its oil and gas backlog growing from demand for equipment in LNG export facilities. This dual exposure is driving significant backlog growth.

“On the data center side, the company secured a $400 million mega order for AI data center switch gear. That single order is the largest project in Powell's history.” — ▶ 01:26:00

The YouTuber suggests Powell Industries for its high-voltage switchgear, essential for data centers. The company has undergone a significant operational reinvention, with operating margin expanding to nearly 20% from near zero in 2021, and revenue more than doubling. It boasts a record $1.6 billion backlog and new orders up 63% year-over-year, reflecting successful execution in the data center pivot.

“That is exactly what an industrial pivot to data centers looks like when the execution just hits everything just right.” — ▶ 01:09:40:00

Constellation Energy, the largest private sector power producer in the US, benefits from rising natural gas prices due to Hormuz-related LNG supply tightening. Its nuclear plants operate at a fixed low marginal cost, allowing them to capture significant spread when electricity prices rise. The company is also securing long-term contracts with hyperscalers for carbon-free power at premium pricing.

“Their management team is already guiding 2026 earnings up nearly 20% year-over-year simply because of the strength of the Kalpine integration and the rising power prices.” — ▶ 01:20:00

The YouTuber strongly recommends Constellation Energy, the largest nuclear operator in the US with 22 reactors and significant generation capacity after the Calpine acquisition. The company has a 20-year contract with Microsoft for the Three Mile Island restart, and its other reactors are expected to continue generating PPA revenue, benefiting from rising electricity rates.

“Constellation Energy, and they're the largest nuclear operator in the United States with 22 reactors. And after the Calpine acquisition closed in January, they're sitting on roughly 33 GW of total generation capacity.” — ▶ 12:00

The YouTuber is willing to consider Constellation Energy for a long-term investment, citing its recent agreement with Microsoft, ownership of 49% of Westinghouse, and leadership in SMR technology. While acknowledging some short-term volatility and a high debt-to-assets ratio, its strategic position in the nuclear industry makes it appealing for the long haul.

“For my money I'm more willing to look at constellation for the long-term play but in the short term well they may be a little bit Rocky.” — ▶ 10:30

The YouTuber recommends CACI International as a 'picks and shovels' play in the space industry, noting its quiet transformation into a space company through its ARCA acquisition. He highlights its strong financials, including half a billion dollars in annual free cash flow and a three-year revenue backlog, suggesting it's a profitable business currently undervalued.

“So if I'm looking to get into Casey, I'm comfortable right around the low 500s where it trades at right now because it's sitting below where I value the business.” — ▶ 01:02:29:23

The YouTuber includes Redwire on his watch list, recognizing its role in building space infrastructure like solar arrays and avionics, and its recent expansion into defense drones. However, he notes that much of its growth has come from issuing new shares, which he dislikes. He suggests waiting for a pullback to around $13 or $14, anticipating that the SpaceX IPO could cause a rotation out of other space stocks.

“So yeah, red wire is firmly on my list but the level that I'm watching for is closer to around $13 or $14.” — ▶ 01:07:31:02

The YouTuber sees AST Space Mobile as a high-risk, high-reward play, building satellites to beam cell signals directly to phones. He acknowledges its innovative technology and FCC clearance for many satellites but cautions that it's currently a 'vision' rather than a fully operational business. He anticipates a significant price drop to the low $80s due to its direct competition with Starlink and reliance on SpaceX for launches, making that a more appealing entry point.

“like to get the chance to go in at around the low 80s which I think is a lot closer to reality given how tight it is to SpaceX on both sides.” — ▶ 01:06:43:06

The YouTuber expresses interest in Rocket Lab but advises waiting for a significant price drop. He notes the company's growth in rocket launches and satellite manufacturing but warns that the company's plan to sell up to $3 billion in stock, combined with SpaceX's upcoming IPO, could cause a substantial pullback, making a price in the low $90s an attractive entry point.

“In fact, I'm looking more like the low 90s, which is roughly a third of where it is today. And given that it competes directly with SpaceX, a move like that is very much on the table once SpaceX lands.” — ▶ 01:05:40:05

The YouTuber, in a sponsored segment, suggests Kootenai Silver as a buy, citing its position as a pure-play silver company with significant resources in Mexico. He emphasizes billionaire Eric Sprott's substantial investment and the current stock price being below recent financing rounds and analyst targets, while silver itself is critical for AI and space technologies.

“Kootenai's shares are 50% below those targets, and it's 35% its most recent financing, 50% below the analyst targets, and it's more than 50% below what a billionaire paid for it.” — ▶ 01:04:18:04

The YouTuber recommends ARM Holdings, highlighting its shift from a pure licensing model to directly selling chips (ARM AGI CPU) to customers like Meta and OpenAI, alongside its legacy royalty business. He emphasizes ARM's power efficiency advantage, which makes its Neoverse architecture a standard for hyperscaler compute, and its rapidly growing data center royalties with high margins.

“ARM has effectively become the standard for hyperscaler compute. The best part of their technology is power efficiency. ARM designed chips run cooler and use less electricity than competing architectures, which matters as much in your phone as it does in a data center running hundreds of thousands of AI accelerators.” — ▶ 01:13:20

The YouTuber believes Arm is a long-term play due to its critical role in new AI-enabled PCs (Microsoft Co-pilot, Apple Intelligence) and custom server chips for cloud providers like Amazon and Google. Arm's royalty-based revenue model and its presence in almost all edge devices position it for continued strong growth, with analysts predicting a 22% CAGR. He notes it's currently overpriced but plans to buy on a dip.

“overall this is a great company that I believe is a bit overpriced today but when it has a dip then I'm obviously going to buy more this is a long-term play for me because I know that the demand is already there and it will continue to be there for several years” — ▶ 7:00

The YouTuber argues that Palantir's stock price has not kept pace with its strong fundamental growth, particularly in commercial revenue and expanding operating margins. He highlights the company's recent shortlisting for the FAA's air traffic control program as a significant catalyst and believes the market will eventually recognize its true value, making it a strong long-term investment.

“The price came down, the fundamentals kept compounding, and the gap closes a little bit more every single quarter. Eventually, one of two things is going to happen. The price catches back up to the fundamentals, or the next earnings print makes the math obvious enough that institutional money has to chase it.” — ▶ 01:04:50

The YouTuber argues that while 95% of corporate AI projects fail, Palantir is uniquely positioned to be a dominant winner by solving the core problems highlighted in MIT and Gartner reports, such as messy data, lack of operational integration, and ROI accountability. Palantir's Foundry platform, ontology, and embedded engineer model address these issues, leading to significant ROI for clients and securing large contracts in defense and healthcare, making it a critical backbone for enterprise AI.

“I'm buying on every single dip. And then I keep trickling a little bit more in purchases with dollar cost averaging.” — ▶ 14:00

The YouTuber believes Palantir is a solid long-term investment despite its current overvaluation, citing its strong financial performance (doubled free cash flow), high customer retention, and strategic partnerships with Bain Consulting and SAP. He argues that these partnerships will significantly expand Palantir's market reach and customer acquisition, especially by bridging the gap between its complex technology and non-technical decision-makers in Fortune 500 companies and private equity firms. He also highlights the company's unique ontology system as a key differentiator and its recent $800 million contract with the Department of Defense.

“So, bringing this all together, yes, Palunteer stock price is severely overvalued today. I don't contest that at all, but I will continue to buy every major dip because anything 5 years out and further with them is a solid investment.” — ▶ 14:00

The YouTuber identifies Palantir as the best long-term option between the two companies, citing its early stage in the growth cycle, accelerating US commercial business, and improving margins. He believes its AIP platform and strategic pivot to enterprise AI will drive significant future growth, potentially exceeding current estimates if it scales its commercial business and secures more government contracts.

“And on the long term, I see Palanteer as the best option between the two.” — ▶ 14:18

The YouTuber is dollar-cost averaging into Palantir, highlighting its leadership in AI systems integration, strong moat, and proven government contracts. He notes its recent positive margin in 2023 and significant commercial growth, but also states he would double down if the stock dips to $70.

“This is one where I'm not dumping a lot into it right now but I am dollar cost averaging and investing regularly to me there still exists the potential for pal to dip down to $70 in the next few months and if that happens then I'll definitely double down.” — ▶ 12:50

The YouTuber recommends buying Palantir for long-term investors, especially via dollar-cost averaging. He argues that its Foundry system provides significant cost savings for companies, suggesting Palantir could increase its pricing. He also highlights strong growth in its US commercial segment (up 54%) and US government revenue (up 40%), expecting continued growth due to its advanced AI systems and initiatives like Stargate.

“if you don't own any paler and you plan to hold it for at least 10 or more years then it's as good a time as any to invest via dollar cost averaging on a regular basis” — ▶ 7:00

The YouTuber advises holding Palantir for several years, especially for younger investors who bought at higher prices (e.g., $70 or above). He believes the stock has significant long-term upside due to its strong fundamentals and growth prospects in AI and commercial/government sectors.

“if you're young enough then there's really nothing wrong with holding it for several years” — ▶ 7:35

The YouTuber suggests selling a portion of Palantir holdings when the stock reaches new highs. This is presented as a personal strategy for taking profits, which he then reinvests on dips.

“whenever it gets to a new high I choose to sell off some of my profits and whenever there's a large drop I buy right back into it again” — ▶ 7:20

The YouTuber considers Palantir a long-term play and plans to buy it on major dips, rather than expecting significant growth in 2025. He states he will continue to accumulate shares when the price makes sense.

“Palantir is a definite long term play for me, but this is a year where I plan to wait on major dips in the price and then buy it.” — ▶ 19:50

The YouTuber suggests buying Palantir on a pullback in early 2025, as he believes the stock is currently running hot with a very high P/E ratio. He notes its strong growth in earnings and revenue, positive margins, and decreasing debt-to-assets, but anticipates a correction will offer a better entry point for long-term investors.

“My gut well it's telling me that paler is set to have a little bit of a pullback in early 2025 and that's a good thing it's good because the stock price needs to come back to reality and to give all of you newer investors a chance to buy into the company” — ▶ 7:20

The YouTuber is bullish on Palantir, citing its unique AI model and strong commercial customer growth, as evidenced by a case study with Wendy's. The company's financials show consistent revenue, earnings, and profit margin growth, with debt to assets decreasing. Despite a high P/E ratio, the YouTuber believes the company's innovative product and lack of direct competition position it for significant future growth.

“Truly they have the most Innovative AI product that I've ever seen where it automates and it improves a company's entire Enterprise software solution” — ▶ 10:00

The YouTuber is bullish on Palantir, highlighting its strong financial health with significant cash and low debt, along with nearly 30% increases in revenue and gross profit. He believes its market cap of $92 billion makes a 10x return realistic, citing its unique and complex software solutions with little competition and strong future potential in AI and enterprise solutions.

“I honestly believe that paler could easily fall within a realm of being kind of a hybrid between Oracle and Microsoft” — ▶ 19:50

The YouTuber loves Palantir, highlighting its unique AI software platform that creates localized large language models for enterprises. The company's push into the commercial sector has led to significant profit and a recent partnership with Microsoft is expected to provide further momentum. While acknowledging weaknesses in marketing and deployment, the core technology and market opportunity are seen as immense.

“I absolutely love this company they are one of the few software specific companies focused on AI that have figured out the secret sauce.” — ▶ 06:00

The YouTuber suggests Meta Platforms as a buy, noting its 23% pullback from recent highs despite strong underlying business performance, including 33% revenue growth and expanding operating margins. He attributes this to Meta's successful rebuild of its AI-powered ad targeting after Apple's privacy changes and its strategic pivot into AI glasses as a future consumer device.

“The stock is down 23% from its recent high of $796 back in March. While the price was getting cut, the business was doing the opposite. Revenue grew 33% year over year, and operating margins expanded over 800 basis points in that same window.” — ▶ 01:11:00

Despite the stock's recent 11% drop after earnings due to increased AI spending guidance, the analyst views Meta's fundamentals as elite, with strong revenue growth and market dominance. He believes the market overreacted to the AI spending news, creating a long-term buying opportunity, and personally bought a significant amount after the dip.

“But it's all due to a very explainable event, which for me it it makes that data a little less reliable because 2 or 3 days after the stock fell, I actually bought a fair amount because it's a long-term play for me. And I know that this discount may have been from an overreaction.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber suggests that Meta, along with other maturing tech giants, is transitioning from a growth stock to a potential dividend powerhouse. He notes Meta initiated its first dividend in February 2024 and has already increased it, signaling a commitment to returning value to shareholders as its growth slows and cash piles up. This aligns with a historical pattern where today's dividend initiators become tomorrow's dividend growers.

“Meta initiated its first ever dividend at 50 cents a share quarterly and has since increased it to over 52 cents a share.” — ▶ 16:00

The YouTuber views Meta as a 'cash cow' and expects it to beat the S&P 500 across all timeframes. He points to the effectiveness of AI-powered ads, new monetization opportunities in WhatsApp and Threads, and controlled spending on Reality Labs. A 5-year projection suggests a price of $998, a 67% upside.

“Without a doubt, Meta is the definition of a cash cow, and their leverage of AI within their ads is really paying off.” — ▶ 12:40

The YouTuber bought a lot of Meta during the dip, stating it meets his criteria for investment. He believes tariffs will have a relatively small impact on the company because hardware constitutes a minor part of its business.

“Meta is another company that I bought a lot during this dip because of the criteria that I gave at the very beginning tariffs will have a relatively small impact on them because their Hardware makes up such a small part of their business.” — ▶ 16:25

The YouTuber views Meta as a 'money printing machine' due to its dominant social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) and low overhead/high margins. He acknowledges past metaverse investments but points to improving Oculus progress and strong financial performance with consistently ramping margins and exploding operating income, suggesting potential upside from future tax breaks.

“They have so little overhead and such high margins that they make it a money printing machine. They happen to dominate social media.” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber notes Meta has healthy fundamentals with strong cash on hand and a P/E ratio in line with the S&P 500. However, its $1.5 trillion market cap makes a 10x return in 10 years unrealistic. He acknowledges its future potential in social media, VR, and AI but gives it a lower score for 10x potential.

“I give meta a total score of 18 out of 30.” — ▶ 9:00

The YouTuber suggests Credo Technology, a semiconductor company specializing in high-speed data interconnects for AI data centers. He highlights its power efficiency advantage, significant customer diversification away from Microsoft, and the strategic acquisition of Dust Photonics, which is expected to drive substantial optical revenue growth.

He points to a recent 15-year, $7.5 billion deal with a hyperscaler and the strategic spin-off of Chronoscale as positive developments for future growth.

“Applied Digital's market cap sits at roughly $13 billion, but their contracted lease backlog tops $23 billion. The company is priced at less than half the value of the contracts that are already signed.” — ▶ 01:05:48

The YouTuber recommends Applied Digital for its rapid revenue growth in large-scale AI data centers, driven by securing long-duration, low-cost electricity in power-rich regions. He believes the market underestimates its earning power, as gross margins are expected to expand significantly once facilities are fully leased. The key metric is megawatts placed into service.

“The entire model is built on securing long-duration lowcost electricity and locking them into long-term leases before the capacity shortages begin to force prices higher.” — ▶ 5:08

The YouTuber suggests buying Applied Digital for the long term, especially on a pullback, due to its strong fundamentals. He notes its role in powering the AI boom by constructing AI factories, its significant contracts with major players like CoreWeave and a US-based Hyperscaler, and its potential to reach 1 GW capacity by 2027.

“My system flags this as a watch right now because the short-term indicators, specifically the rate of change over 30% and the ADX over 47% suggests that the stock may be overextended right now. And the translation is that it's had a very strong run and it could pull back in the near term.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber recommends Amphenol as a 'picks and shovels' play in the AI build-out, focusing on its physical connectors and high-speed cables for data centers. He notes record Q1 results driven by AI applications, a strong book-to-bill ratio, and a strategic acquisition that expands its coverage across the entire data center signal path, benefiting from increasing AI-driven cabling density.

“The book to bill of $1.24 means orders are coming in faster than they can ship. In January, they closed a $10 billion acquisition of Comscope's connectivity and cable solutions business, which gives Amphenol coverage across the full data center signal path.” — ▶ 01:09:50

The YouTuber recommends Eaton Corporation, a major supplier of power management equipment for data centers. The company reported over 200% year-over-year growth in total data center orders and a record $13.2 billion backlog in its Electrical Americas segment, representing over a decade of normalized build rates.

However, the stock was hit hard by its $1.8 billion acquisition of Ruckus Networks, which the market doesn't yet trust. Despite solid execution and revenue growth, Belden is currently trading at one of the cheapest forward multiples in the basket, suggesting caution.

“This is one you just don't jump into, but you definitely want to watch it and do a little extra research.” — ▶ 01:16:00:00

The YouTuber highlights Centrus Energy as the only US-based uranium enrichment provider, benefiting significantly from Russia's ban on supplying enriched uranium to the US. Its backlog has grown to over $2 billion in federal and utility contracts, indicating strong demand and a critical role in the domestic market.

“Centrus Energy, the only United States-based uranium enrichment provider. So, after Russia got banned from supplying enriched uranium to the US, the domestic market opened wide up, and they're the only player that's positioned to fill it.” — ▶ 7:50

The YouTuber highlights Centrus Energy as a critical bottleneck play, being the only US company licensed to produce HALEU fuel, essential for next-gen small modular reactors. With its first commercial batch produced and plans to scale, Centrus is central to the DOE's supply chain rebuild and the future of SMRs.

“Centris has its first cascade of centrifuges running on the DOE's Pike, Ohio facility, producing halo for the DOE's test reactors. Nobody else in North America can do this. The first commercial batch came off the line in late 2023.” — ▶ 13:40

The YouTuber recommends Vistra due to its significant financial transformation, moving from a $1.2 billion free cash flow burn in 2021 to generating nearly $4 billion by 2023. This was driven by surging gas and power prices while its nuclear and coal fleet maintained fixed costs. Vistra also signed a deal with Meta for up to 2.6 gigawatts, positioning its nuclear fleet as a 'margin machine' during price spikes.

“Vistra's free cash flow went from burning $1.2 billion in 2021 to generating nearly $4 billion by 2023. That's a wild flip within 24 months.” — ▶ 13:00

The YouTuber recommends Vistra Corp due to its significant contracted nuclear power capacity for AI data centers, operating in a deregulated market allowing direct long-term contracts with hyperscalers. Its fixed cost structure for nuclear power means rising energy costs expand margins, unlike competitors. The company shows strong revenue growth and high EBITDA guidance, with a PEG ratio that doesn't fully price in its upside.

“Vistra generates power from nuclear plants that are across Texas and the Midwest. And unlike regulated utilities, they operate in a deregulated market, which means that they can sign direct, long-term contracts with hyperscalers at real market prices.” — ▶ 01:01:59

The YouTuber recommends Babcock & Wilcox Technologies as the only large-format commercial nuclear equipment manufacturer in North America. Its commercial backlog surged 85% year over year, and it has key partnerships, including with Kairos Power and Google. BWXT also manufactures TRISO nuclear fuel, positioning it to capture revenue from advanced and small modular reactors.

“Babcock & Wilcox Technologies, and they're the only large-format commercial nuclear equipment manufacturer within North America. And their commercial backlog surged 85% year over year by the end of 2025.” — ▶ 8:50

The YouTuber identifies Uranium Energy Corp as a pure-play for rising uranium prices. It is highlighted as the largest US-based uranium producer with shovel-ready in-situ recovery projects, positioning it well for increased demand.

“Uranium Energy Corp, which is the largest US-based uranium producer, with shovel-ready in-situ recovery projects in Texas and Wyoming.” — ▶ 6:45

The YouTuber recommends UEC as a foundational mining play due to its shovel-ready projects in the US, institute recovery mining method allowing quick restarts, and contracts with the US government for domestic supply, aligning with national security priorities. He suggests buying after a market correction.

“Uranium Energy Corp. They own fully permitted shovelready projects in Texas and in Wyoming assets they acquired from Riotinto and Uranium 1 Americas when prices were extremely low. The key is institute recovery mining. They inject a solution underground. Then they extract the uraniumrich fluid and they process it without ever moving millions of tons of rock. This is good because this means that they can restart the production within months, not years. once, of course, the uranium prices justify it.” — ▶ 7:00

The YouTuber recommends GE Vernova, a spin-off of GE's power business, as a key equipment manufacturer for the nuclear industry. It is building BWRX-300 small modular reactors in alliance with Hitachi. As utilities deploy SMRs, GE Vernova is positioned as one of the few Western players with the engineering depth and supply chain to meet this demand.

Despite an active securities fraud class action suit, the YouTuber suggests NuScale is worth watching. If its integrated 77 MW design achieves NRC certification around the time the lawsuit settles, it could significantly change the small modular reactor (SMR) landscape and lift the stock.

“I think that NuScale is still worth putting on your watch list, because if their integrated 77 MW design hits NRC certification around the same time that the lawsuit settles, then the SMR, or small modular reactor, completely changes the playbook.” — ▶ 10:30

The YouTuber considers NuScale Power a high-risk, high-reward innovation play, being the first and only SMR design fully approved by the US NRC, creating a significant regulatory moat. Their modular reactors can be factory-produced and installed quickly, with their first project, Voyager, under development and other deployments explored.

“In 2023 they became the first and only SMR design fully approved by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Now of all the modes that is a massive regulatory moat.” — ▶ 18:00

Marvell holds the number one position in this duopoly market, with its optical DSP chip inside every optical transceiver. The company strategically acquired Inphi to build this position, leading to a tripling of EPS in a single year for this business segment.

“Marvell chip inside every single one of them. That chip is an optical DSP. It's the processor that converts electrical signals from a server into light pulses traveling through the fiber.” — ▶ 01:10:09

The YouTuber recommends Marvell Technology for its dominant position in digital signal processing chips for 800-gigabit transceivers and its recent acquisition of Celestial AI. This acquisition is expected to significantly enhance bandwidth and reduce latency in data centers. Despite GAAP losses due to amortization, the business is healthy on a cash flow basis, and its PEG ratio of 0.64 makes it attractive, with an upcoming earnings report potentially serving as a catalyst.

“For those of you that are value seekers, this company is sitting at a pay ratio of $0.64. And they have an earnings report that's going to be coming up pretty soon that's going to be the first to potentially include Celestial AI, and it's going to set their fiscal guidance for 2027. So it's very high stakes, and it could be a bit of a catalyst.” — ▶ 01:16:00

The YouTuber recommends Broadcom due to its dual dominance in AI networking silicon: custom AI accelerator design for hyperscalers and 80% market share in Open Ethernet switching. The company entered 2026 with $73 billion in signed AI orders, demonstrating strong committed revenue. Its AI segment has grown significantly, now representing 43% of total revenue, with strong guidance for the next quarter.

“Broadcom's a little unique because they own two pieces of the networking silicon layer simultaneously. The first is custom AI accelerator design... That happens to give them 60 to 70% of the custom AI chip market.” — ▶ 01:09:00

The YouTuber recommends Broadcom due to its leadership in co-packaged optics, integrating optical components directly onto networking chips. While silicon photonics is currently a small part of its revenue, it's expected to become a significant growth driver as data centers transition to this technology, adding to an already dominant business.

“Silicon Photonics is still just a small piece of their total revenue today. But as every data center on the planet begins to make this transition, it becomes a meaningful growth layer on top of an already dominant business.” — ▶ 01:05:04

The YouTuber recommends buying Broadcom, citing its PEG ratio of 0.75, which he considers a 'bargain bin price' indicating it's trading below its growth rate. He emphasizes that these are high-quality companies with real revenue and earnings, not speculative stocks.

“AMD and Qualcomm are both sitting at a peg of 0.57. Dell's at 0.61, Micron at 0.64, and Broadcom at 0.75. And the best part is these are not speculative penny stocks.” — ▶ 7:25

The YouTuber suggests Broadcom benefits from the general reduction in trade friction, as semiconductor supply chains are global. The removal of the global baseline tariff layer reduces costs and friction, directly boosting margins.

“And anything that reduces cost and friction in their supply chain, it's going to be a direct bonus to their margins, which are already extremely high.” — ▶ 10:40

The YouTuber is buying Broadcom, noting its structural transformation around the AI boom. In Q2, its AI chip and networking revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $5.2 billion, with a surging backlog of $110 billion.

“Broadcom, which isn't just benefiting from the AI boom, it has structurally transformed itself around it.” — ▶ 09:50

The YouTuber recommends Broadcom, a global semiconductor and infrastructure software company, emphasizing its strong growth in both segments, particularly in automation and cybersecurity. He points to its impressive historical performance, with a 5-year return that would have turned $10,000 into over $79,000, and a healthy dividend of 1.14%.

“I quickly want to cover on their performance where I'll share that broadcom's dividend is at a healthy 1.14% and when we look at their growth over the last year it's over 100% and their three and fiveyear Kar well it's it's really out of this world seeing as how $10,000 invested 5 years ago with broadcom would be worth over $79,000 today” — ▶ 08:00

The YouTuber recommends Micron Technology because all high-bandwidth memory (HBM) suppliers are sold out through 2026, and Micron is one of only three producers. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz is disrupting helium exports, impacting competitors like SK-Hynix which rely on imported inputs, while Micron uses domestic supply chains. This situation is expected to improve Micron's market share or expand market prices, leading to significant revenue and EPS growth, and a very low PEG ratio.

“Micron runs on US fabs with access to domestic helium reserves and domestic supply chains. So when Korean input costs begin to rise, Micron either gains market share because SK-Hynix produces less, or the whole market's price expands because supply tightens even more.” — ▶ 01:06:59

The YouTuber recommends buying Micron, citing its PEG ratio of 0.64, which he considers a 'bargain bin price' indicating it's trading below its growth rate. He emphasizes that these are high-quality companies with real revenue and earnings, not speculative stocks.

“AMD and Qualcomm are both sitting at a peg of 0.57. Dell's at 0.61, Micron at 0.64, and Broadcom at 0.75. And the best part is these are not speculative penny stocks.” — ▶ 7:25

The YouTuber is buying Micron due to its strong position in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, which are crucial for AI GPUs like Nvidia's H200. Micron's HBM3E chips offer 30% less power consumption, reducing data center costs, and they have already sold out their 2024 capacity. Additionally, growth in memory for phones and PCs due to AI edge devices, combined with a soft earnings year in 2023, suggests significant upside if both HBM and consumer memory demand rise.

“Vertiv makes the power management and the liquid cooling infrastructure that goes inside a data center once electricity arrives. So UPS systems, power distribution units, and liquid cooling as one integrated system.” — ▶ 01:05:09

The YouTuber recommends Corning due to the massive increase in demand for optical fiber in AI data centers, requiring 36 times more fiber than traditional racks, leading to extended lead times. Corning is a key supplier of this fiber, with its growth driven by the same photonics adoption that benefits Marvell. The company operates the world's largest fiber cable plant and has secured a multi-year, multi-billion dollar agreement with Meta, with operating income doubling as supply tightens.

“Corning makes the optical fiber cable that connects every server, every switch, and every GPU cluster inside a data center. And every one of those 63 million optical transceivers that we just talked about with Marvell requires fiber to carry that signal.” — ▶ 01:14:59

The YouTuber recommends Southern Copper Corporation because copper is an indispensable material for AI data centers, with significant demand from electrification and grid expansion leading to projected supply deficits. Southern Copper operates the largest reserve base of any publicly listed miner and produces at a significantly lower net cash cost than competitors. The company has shown strong revenue growth and high operating margins.

“Southern Copper operates the largest reserve base of any publicly listed miner on earth at 51.1 million tons, and they produce at 42 cents per pound net cash cost.” — ▶ 01:13:59

The YouTuber recommends Amkor Technologies as a critical second source for advanced packaging (co-wars) of AI chips, a process essential for NVIDIA's AI chips where demand is growing faster than supply. With NVIDIA consuming most of TSMC's co-wars capacity, other AI chip makers will need alternatives. Amkor's Arizona facility, supported by the CHIPS Act and adjacent to TSMC's US fabs, positions it to capture this overflow demand, with its advanced packaging business expected to nearly triple this year.

“TSMC performs most of this work, but NVIDIA already controls over half of TSMC's co-wars capacity, which means every other AI chip maker, think Broadcom, AMD, every custom ASIC builder, they're going to need a second source. And lo and behold, Amcor is that second source.” — ▶ 01:07:59

The YouTuber recommends Grab, highlighting its 'super app' model in Southeast Asia with significant growth potential due to low market penetration. He notes strong growth in financial services and overall revenue, with the company achieving full-year profitability in 2025 after previous losses, suggesting a strong turnaround and future growth.

For existing holders, the YouTuber recommends holding SCHD. He explains that the recent reconstitution, while seemingly negative in the short term, is the fund's systematic process of adapting to market conditions by rebalancing towards higher-quality fundamentals. He highlights SCHD's strong long-term total returns with reinvested dividends, emphasizing that the fund's discipline positions it for future growth.

“But if you're already in SCHD and you're a little bit nervous about this reconstitution, well, the fund just did exactly what you're paying it to do. It sold the stocks that scored lower on quality and replaced them with ones that scored higher.” — ▶ 10:00

The YouTuber advises against buying SCHD in the short term for new capital. He argues that the 10-year Treasury yield offers a higher, risk-free return (4.39%) compared to SCHD's current yield (3.5%). Given the current economic climate with persistent inflation and potential for interest rates to remain high, treasuries present a more favorable short-term play.

“So, for someone looking to deploy new capital today, the math doesn't favor SCHD over treasuries, at least not in the short term and that's just our current reality.” — ▶ 7:00

Nolan recommends SCHD, a value ETF, expecting it to benefit from anticipated Fed rate cuts. He believes that as high-yield savings rates decline, wealthy individuals will shift capital to recession-proof value ETFs offering stable dividends, signaling a potential market cycle shift towards value.

“Instead of you getting a 3.5% in a high yield savings account, you're now going to get like a 1.5%. And if that's the case, a lot of very wealthy individuals who have a lot of money sitting there are going to move their money to the next safest asset where they're getting a 3 or 4% dividend. that's going to be a recessionproof style ETF, which is a value ETF, which would be something like SCHD or VTV.” — ▶ 32:40

The YouTuber suggests SCHD is suitable for investors seeking growth from secure dividend companies. They highlight its low expense ratio, low volatility (beta of 0.75), and strong historical performance with a 23.6% total CAGR (price + reinvested dividends) over the last 12 months. The fund holds quality companies, many of which are 'dividend aristocrats', ensuring consistent dividend payments and stock price appreciation.

“In my opinion, based on the fund's performance and lower dividend rate, SCHD would probably be a little bit more geared towards those investors looking for solid growth within the dividend scope of quality companies.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber suggests buying Nvidia as a foundational play in silicon photonics. Nvidia is integrating silicon photonics directly into its next-generation AI supercomputers, like the Vera Rubin platform, which is critical for handling high data rates and power efficiency. The company's significant data center revenue and history of driving supply chain adoption (like with CUDA and Infiniband) indicate its strategic position in this essential technology.

“When Jensen builds something into the Nvidia platform, the supply chain is going to quickly follow. It happened with CUDA. It happened with Infiniband. Now it's happening with Photonics.” — ▶ 01:04:00

The YouTuber indicates Nvidia benefits from the general reduction in trade friction, as semiconductor supply chains are global. The removal of the global baseline tariff layer reduces costs and friction, directly boosting Nvidia's already high margins, especially given its massive backlog for AI chips.

“Nvidia in particular has a massive backlog for AI chips. And anything that reduces cost and friction in their supply chain, it's going to be a direct bonus to their margins, which are already extremely high.” — ▶ 10:40

The YouTuber expresses high conviction that Nvidia will 'blow out' the S&P 500, calling it the engine of the AI gold rush. He highlights the massive growth in data centers (up 93% YoY) and impressive gross margins. A 5-year forecast is $300, a 154% upside, provided large purchase orders continue and export restrictions don't hinder growth.

“As long as other companies keep signing those huge 9-f figureure purchase orders, and of course, if Washington doesn't slam the door on the exports, then I definitely feel that Nvidia is going to blow out the S&P 500.” — ▶ 23:50

The YouTuber suggests Nvidia is a 'safer play' in the short term due to recent stock price hits, implying a good entry point. He highlights its dominant market share in data center hardware, the strong CUDA ecosystem, and stellar financial performance with high revenue growth and profitability, despite potential future margin compression from competition.

“In the short term, I see Nvidia as a saver play with all the hits that they've already taken on the stock price.” — ▶ 14:00

The YouTuber expresses happiness to see Nvidia showing signs of undervaluation, despite its high PE ratio, due to its strong growth. Its PEG ratio is a very good 1.09 for a growth company of its size, and its stock is currently trading 5% below its 200-day SMA. Analysts are very bullish, projecting a 46% upside.

“They still have a high PE ratio. So, let's take the growth into account and look at the PEG ratio which happens to be at a 1.09 09, which is very good for a growth company of this size.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber doubled down on Nvidia, despite recent headwinds, due to its strong fundamentals, increasing cash holdings ($43 billion), and high demand for its hardware as AI evolves beyond basic inference to agentive AI. Analysts see significant upside, around 57% over the next 12 months.

“This is why I doubled down on Nvidia because their Hardware will continue to be in high demand because AI is evolving past basic inference in LLMs that are now just a commodity.” — ▶ 15:30

The YouTuber is bullish on Nvidia due to its dominance in the GPU market for data warehouses (over 90% share) and its critical role in the AI wave, which is projected to grow 37% annually. He notes that their Blackwell production for 2025 is already booked and their new exascale computer offers significant improvements for LLM inference and training. He considers it a go-to stock on dips, expecting it to outperform.

“Whenever there's a dip in the market, Nvidia is always my go-to stock to buy because I can count on it in the next few years to always outperform in my portfolio.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber expresses high conviction in Nvidia, citing its strong position as an integrator in the quantum computing ecosystem through platforms like CUDA Q, bridging quantum and classical computing. This, combined with its AI GPU dominance, makes it a 'slam dunk' for the next 5-10 years, despite already impressive year-to-date performance.

“To me it's an easy slam dunk for the next 5 to 10 years” — ▶ 12:50

The YouTuber suggests buying Nvidia, noting that recent stock drops due to delays in their next-generation Blackwell GPUs present an opportunity for investors. He expects these issues to resolve by early 2025, leading to strong growth reflected in their next quarterly earnings and a 25% analyst forecast for the next year, allowing investors to buy in ahead of potential growth.

“They recently fa some setbacks and they created an opportunity for investors like us to buy in ahead of strong potential growth in 2025” — ▶ 13:50

The YouTuber states that while Nvidia is a great company with strong fundamentals, including high revenue growth and cash flow, its current market cap of $3.2 trillion makes a 10x return in 10 years unlikely. He recommends holding and continuing to buy, but not doubling down due to long-term growth limitations, expecting consistent 15-20% growth for the next five years.

“Nvidia is a stock that I fully recommend to my friends and my family and I'm going to continue to buy it myself but I'm not going to double down on it because in the long term their growth does have some limitations.” — ▶ 7:00

The YouTuber bought more Nvidia during the dip at $96, considering it a good value after selling 40% of his position at $130. He acknowledges a recent drop due to news of a design flaw in Blackwell chips pushing out the launch to 2025, which might make Q4 underwhelming. However, he sees any further dip as another buying opportunity, expecting Q1 of next year to be stellar with the full rollout of Blackwell chips.

“during the dip I was able to pick up more at $96 which I thought was a very good value.” — ▶ 09:20

The YouTuber identifies Fabrinet as a strong, safe entry point into silicon photonics.

The YouTuber suggests Lumentum as a key player in the photonics ecosystem, manufacturing the external lasers essential for silicon photonics chips. Its lasers are used in other companies' products, ensuring it benefits regardless of transceiver market share. The company has seen a significant turnaround from net loss to profit and also received a $2 billion deal from Nvidia, boasting the cheapest PEG ratio (0.61) in the photonics universe.

“Nvidia announced that same $2 billion deal structure here, the largest laser commitment in Lamentum's history. And one of the items that I look at is their peg ratio, which is 0.61. It happens to be the cheapest in this entire photonics universe.” — ▶ 01:15:00

The YouTuber recommends Coherent as the world's largest vertically integrated photonics company. It manufactures laser chips, optical engines, and transceiver modules, and is one of only two companies making both indium phosphide and silicon photonic engines. Its revenue has grown significantly, and it recently received a $2 billion strategic investment and multi-year purchase commitment from Nvidia, with an attractive PEG ratio of 1.1.

“On March 2, Nvidia announced a $2 billion strategic investment with a multi-year purchase commitment. All that, and they have a peg ratio of about a 1.1.” — ▶ 01:14:20

The YouTuber strongly recommends Tower Semiconductor as a leading specialty foundry in silicon photonics. They fabricate photonic integrated circuits at scale, with revenue from this segment more than doubling in 2025. The company has committed significant capital to expand capacity, with much of it already reserved and backed by customer prepayments, including a direct partnership with Nvidia.

“They are, by far, the leading foundry in silicon photonics. Revenue from that segment hit $228 million in 2025, more than doubling from the year before.” — ▶ 01:09:50

The YouTuber suggests Global Foundries as a scale player in silicon photonics manufacturing. The company combines photonics fabrication with advanced packaging, doubling its photonics revenue in 2025 and expecting to nearly double it again in 2026, with management targeting a $1 billion run rate by 2028. While photonics is a small part of total revenue, its rapid growth is a strong signal.

“They doubled photonics revenue to over $200 million in 2025, and they expect to nearly double it again in 2026. Management says that they are on a path to $1 billion run rate by 2028.” — ▶ 01:11:00

The YouTuber views Intel as a high-risk, high-reward opportunity in silicon photonics. Despite its controversial stock performance, Intel is a leader in photonics research and manufacturing, having shipped millions of integrated circuits. Its unique position as the only foundry offering an optics-based option for custom chips provides a massive strategic asset.

“Intel is arguably the most advanced company in the world when it comes to Silicon Photonics research. They've been at this for over 25 years, and they've shipped more than 8 million Photonic integrated circuits.” — ▶ 01:08:00

The YouTuber explicitly states Intel was not on his buying list for the dip. He suggests avoiding the stock until at least January 2026, anticipating a potential CEO change and a year for new leadership to make an impact. He believes their foundry business will be more established by then, but currently views it as a slow-moving 'aircraft carrier' that won't turn around quickly.

“Alexa set a reminder for January 2026 look into Intel and consider whether or not you want to invest in them.” — ▶ 08:40

The analyst suggests avoiding Intel in the short term due to its declining quarter-over-quarter performance and significant investments in its Foundry division. These foundry operations, which constitute a third of its revenue, are not expected to be profit-neutral for another three to four years, creating a drag on near-term growth despite potential long-term recovery.

“Intel has had the opposite story, where it's been declining quarter over quarter, but slowly inching up when you look at it year over year. Plus, Intel has those massive investments in the Foundries, which makes up nearly one third of its revenue, that won't even be profit neutral for another three to four years.” — ▶ 17:18

The analyst suggests Intel could be a strong long-term buy, specifically around 2027. This is contingent on how the company manages its significant Foundry business investments, which are currently a drag on profitability but are expected to become profit-neutral in three to four years, potentially leading to substantial growth thereafter.

“And depending on how Intel manages its Foundry business, then I think Intel should be ready to blow up with growth around 2027.” — ▶ 17:50

The YouTuber suggests holding Cisco, noting that while silicon photonics isn't a reason to buy it today, it's crucial for Cisco's future relevance. Cisco has been investing in the space since 2019, developing its own photonics integrated circuits and transceivers, positioning it well as data centers shift from copper to optical networking.

“Look, Silicon Photonics isn't why you're going to buy Cisco today, but it's why Cisco stays relevant, well, tomorrow.” — ▶ 01:05:58

The YouTuber recommends buying AMD, citing its PEG ratio of 0.57, which he considers a 'bargain bin price' indicating it's trading below its growth rate. He emphasizes that these are high-quality companies with real revenue and earnings, not speculative stocks.

“AMD and Qualcomm are both sitting at a peg of 0.57. Dell's at 0.61, Micron at 0.64, and Broadcom at 0.75. And the best part is these are not speculative penny stocks.” — ▶ 7:25

The YouTuber suggests AMD benefits from the general reduction in trade friction, as semiconductor supply chains are global. The removal of the global baseline tariff layer reduces costs and friction, directly boosting margins.

“And anything that reduces cost and friction in their supply chain, it's going to be a direct bonus to their margins, which are already extremely high.” — ▶ 10:40

The YouTuber recommends AMD, arguing that the market is undervaluing its growth despite strong revenue expansion and a low PEG ratio. He highlights its rapidly growing data center revenue, which is now its most important profit driver, and improving cash generation. He believes the stock's sideways movement has created a mismatch, as earnings visibility is set to improve.

“The right way to frame AMD right now is that the stock is being priced like growth is slowing down. While the data obviously is saying the opposite.” — ▶ 21:50

The analyst believes AMD is a better investment in the short term due to consistent growth in its data center and client segments. Unlike Intel, AMD does not have massive investments in foundry operations that will drag down profitability for several years, allowing for more immediate growth.

“for my money, I see AMD as a much better investment at least in the short term. They have consistently been growing in its top segments of data center and client business most every single quarter.” — ▶ 17:00

The YouTuber recommends buying Qualcomm, citing its PEG ratio of 0.57, which he considers a 'bargain bin price' indicating it's trading below its growth rate. He emphasizes that these are high-quality companies with real revenue and earnings, not speculative stocks.

“AMD and Qualcomm are both sitting at a peg of 0.57. Dell's at 0.61, Micron at 0.64, and Broadcom at 0.75. And the best part is these are not speculative penny stocks.” — ▶ 7:25

The YouTuber views Qualcomm as fairly valued with a score of 75/100. While acknowledging its dominance in smartphone chips, he points to growth drivers in its automotive business and its positioning for on-device AI with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.

He notes its strong performance with over 94% growth in the last year and over 20% total returns over three and five years, combined with a healthy dividend of 1.43%.

“now let's take a look at their performance over the last year which is over 94% and the three and fiveyear total returns are both over 20% Which is extremely high and this all comes with a very healthy dividend return of 1.43% you're getting a great return and it also has a very healthy dividend which is really the best of both worlds” — ▶ 14:45

The YouTuber sees Qualcomm as a key player in the middle phase of AI growth, focusing on edge computing. Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors are leaders in mobile devices, and they produce 5G modem chips. As AI shifts from mainframes to individual user devices, requiring significant hardware upgrades, Qualcomm's low-power chips for IoT and automotive systems will become increasingly important, driving revenue growth in the coming years.

“the chips from qualcom are associated more with Edge Computing where they are a leader with their Snapdragon processors that are in Android phones tablets and mobile devices” — ▶ 10:50

The YouTuber recommends buying Dell, citing its PEG ratio of 0.61, which he considers a 'bargain bin price' indicating it's trading below its growth rate. He emphasizes that these are high-quality companies with real revenue and earnings, not speculative stocks.

“AMD and Qualcomm are both sitting at a peg of 0.57. Dell's at 0.61, Micron at 0.64, and Broadcom at 0.75. And the best part is these are not speculative penny stocks.” — ▶ 7:25

The YouTuber identifies Dell as an 'unexpected gem' due to its strong growth in AI-optimized servers, despite being down year-to-date. It boasts an excellent PEG ratio of 0.91 and its current stock price is 20% below its 200-day simple moving average, suggesting significant undervaluation. Analysts forecast a 48% upside.

“And get this, their PEG ratio is one of the best today at a 0.91. And they have a 200 day SMA or simple moving average of $120. That means that the stock price today is already 20% below that 200 day moving average.” — ▶ Watch clip

The YouTuber advocates buying the NASDAQ 100 ETF (QQQ), drawing a parallel to the 2022 oil spike where QQQ dropped significantly but then rebounded strongly. He argues that the current dip in tech is due to fear, not fundamental issues, and represents a buying opportunity.

“If you had bought QQQ, the NASDAQ 100 ETF at the very bottom when it was negative 33%, then you were lucky enough hopefully to ride it up when it was up an extra 54%. That's an 87% swing from trough to peak.” — ▶ 6:00

The YouTuber encourages new investors and those seeking diversification to hold QQQ due to its consistent growth (over 100% in the past 5 years) and its rebalancing mechanism that includes the top 100 NASDAQ companies, providing a 'security blanket' during market pullbacks. While acknowledging the 0.2% expense ratio and potential for underperformance if only a few companies grow, he views it as a strong foundational investment.

“When I talk to my friends and my family, I highly encourage them to have QQQ in their portfolio because it's an incredible fund where if you look at the growth for the past 5 years, it has been well over 100%.” — ▶ 5:00

The YouTuber suggests buying Amazon, noting that its retail operations, especially private label and first-party inventory, benefit from cheaper imports due to reduced tariffs. This also means more consumer spending on the platform, providing a broader boost.

“And cheaper goods flowing through the platform means more consumer spending on Amazon a little bit more broadly.” — ▶ 6:50

The YouTuber recommends Amazon, noting its historical pattern of outperforming in bursts followed by periods of consolidation. He points to accelerating AWS growth, surging operating income, and restored free cash flow as indicators that the stock is poised for another breakout. The key metric is returns as data center capacity fills, signaling the end of its current pause.

“In my mind, Amazon has done the hard part. Margins rebuilt, cash flow restored, AWS is reignited.” — ▶ 21:00

The YouTuber positions Amazon as a Tier 4 'operator' that leverages robotics for logistics advantage, running over 1 million robots in its fulfillment network. Amazon's strength lies in system-level orchestration, integrating various robot types with a single cloud platform to optimize flow and drive multi-billion dollar efficiency gains. This operating edge is difficult to replicate, and analysts see 20% upside tied to automation expanding its margins.

“Analysts see around a 20% upside for Amazon this year tied to a lot of this automation that's going to expand its margin.” — ▶ 19:50

The YouTuber suggests Amazon as an 'infrastructure layer' investment, noting that AWS Bracket provides access to multiple quantum providers. Amazon's strategy ensures profitability even if quantum computing fails, as every quantum job on Bracket consumes significant classical compute resources for pre- and post-processing, making quantum a 'double win' for hyperscalers.

“Amazon's genius is in the economics because every quantum job on bracket it burns hundreds of hours of classical compute for both the pre-processing and the post-processing. Internal AWS data shows classical compute usage is roughly 500 times the quantum processor runtime per job.” — ▶ 06:20

The YouTuber recommends Amazon due to AWS's dominant market share in cloud computing and its integration of AI services like Bedrock and Q. They also highlight Amazon's rapidly growing and highly profitable advertising business, driven by consumer purchase intent, and the long-term potential of Project Kuiper for global broadband.

“Amazon now generates over 55 billion a year just in ad revenue. That's only about 8% of their total sales. Yet it drives more than 25% of its entire operating profit.” — ▶ 7:40

The YouTuber is avoiding Amazon this month, expecting tariffs to increase product costs and hurt retail sales over the summer. He anticipates a better buying opportunity later in the fall.

“I would not be buying into Amazon this particular month because I expect those tariffs to really increase all the product costs and that's going to hurt their retail sales at least over the summer.” — ▶ 12:50

The YouTuber believes Amazon will easily outperform the S&P 500, driven by its high-margin AWS and advertising businesses, which he sees as the primary engines for growth.

He points out that JEPI's returns significantly underperformed the S&P 500 in 2024, and its payouts are taxed as ordinary income rather than qualified dividends, leading to a lower after-tax yield. He concludes that JEPI is a 'band-aid' solution that sacrifices growth potential and incurs higher taxes and fees for the feeling of receiving monthly income.

“Let's be clear, Jeepy is more of a band-aid because it certainly isn't the cure. Because you accept lower returns, you sacrifice growth potential, and you're going to accept a worse tax treatment all for the feeling of receiving a monthly income.” — ▶ 14:30

The YouTuber recommends JEPI for retirees or those seeking stable income, noting its high dividend yield (7.02%) and monthly payouts. Despite its actively managed nature and higher expense ratio than SCHD, its beta of 0.52 indicates lower volatility. The fund has shown healthy growth in its stock price since inception, making it sustainable for the long term, and its total return is well above inflation.

“I can easily see why so many retirees like this particular fund because if you're given the choice between getting a 4% return on CDs or treasuries versus a 7% or more from JEPI where the pricing CAGR has remained healthy and not declining, yeah, I might pick JEPI too.” — ▶ 11:00

The company is positive year-to-date, with a 1.54 PEG ratio and its stock trading 12% below its 200-day SMA. Analysts project a 30% upside, with potential for increased demand if China restrictions ease.

“And when we look at ASML's info, they're actually positive year-to date, and they carry a small dividend under 1%. And when we look at their PEG, it's at a 1.54, which seems a little high for this group, but I'm only picking low PEG growth companies overall.” — ▶ Watch clip
