$AMZN incremental AWS margins are 57% and operating cash flow grew +40% against a much harder comp. These types of numbers show that ROIC is there on the capex.

I know I was poking some fun at $META last night but I think its a buy here in all seriousness. Not advice. But lots of ways to win in the end. Not advice, do own DD etc. I could be wrong.

$META’s platform engagement is incredibly robust and healthy with a deep product pipeline. The business is fine. I understand the capex debate, and clearly the biz is today more capital intensive, but I’m sure Zuck will make the right decisions in the end. Weakness is likely a buying opportunity.

Sam Altman sounded a lot more at ease about his revenue ramp and was even bullish about his compute commitments (even saying they may have been too conservative) in this podcast. Given that he has been relatively quiet on the podcast circuit over the past year, I view this as a positive tell on OpenAI/$ORCL. https://t.co/yezInyb9XB

$MSFT print and call is the best thing that could have happened to the AI infra trade at this panic stage. Solid growth across the board with key KPI acceleration (Azure). At the same time, opex to grow slower than revenues, capex $ down due to accounting change (higher useful life estimate) but actual demand for "compute" up a bunch. Still generating FCF on back of accelerating OCF to over 30%+. AI bulls should be thanking $MSFT rn.
