Not actively. I've been pointing out issues with Neocloud/Colo financing since 2025 from $SLNH to $CRWV debt interest. And maintain my opinion only a few neoclouds would survive in a few years, given they build enough of a moat to differentiate themselves against hyperscalers. So I don't think Elon's comments are completely wrong about Neoclouds, but there's nuances. One example was $NBIS SOFR + 2.75% $3.5B facility with Citibank, which actually has better rates than GPU financing from $2T+ companies. So kinda hard to say neocloud financing has "entirely shut off" since this Citibank facility was announced 3D ago I'm not arguing the merits of Elon's claims here. There's some truth to them, even if they're framed in extremes. I'm happy to hear his opinion on the direction of the industry... but if they're mainly amplifying concerns about competitor downfall (which benefits $SPCX + $TSLA) There's some cause for concern about how healthy that is to the town square dynamic Elon originally envisioned with X.

$NTWK: $7.86, ~$94M mkt cap, ~$19M net cash, ~$75M EV. FY26 (June) was a record: revenue $74.4M, adj EBITDA $9.2M. FY27 guide is $10.5M to $11.4M of EBITDA, so ~7x. NetSol writes the loan and lease software auto captives, banks and equipment lessors run on, the kind of system a lender changes once a decade. The founding Ghauri family runs it and owns ~14-15%. Hidden asset: its majority-owned Pakistan sub, NetSol PK, is separately listed on the PSX at ~$38M, about 40% of NTWK's whole market cap. The stock has nearly tripled off its $2.73 low, so this isn't a cigar butt anymore, you're paying for the growth guide now. Risks: most of the cash sits offshore, minority holders take almost half of net income, Pakistan FX and politics, lumpy license deals. Size it small.

$DH: $1.08, ~$156M mkt cap, ~$23M net cash. Guiding $57M to $59M of adj EBITDA for 2026, so ~2.3x EV/EBITDA and ~18% trailing FCF yield. Definitive sells data on hospitals and doctors to pharma and medtech sales teams. Revenue is shrinking (-9% in Q2) and the stock went from a $27 IPO in 2021 to about a dollar. Now the controller wants it back. Advent (58.5%) offered $1.02 cash on Sept 1, and founder Jason Krantz (17.6%) would roll his stake. The stock trades above the bid, so the market expects the special committee (Rothschild advising) to get more. $1.02 for a 26% margin data business at ~2.3x EBITDA is a lowball. Nasdaq's sub-$1 cure deadline is Dec 15. Risk: a controller can wait you out, and nothing is signed.

$RNGR: $14.71, ~$345M mkt cap, ~$395M EV after the STEP deal. Q2 adj EBITDA $28.6M, so ~3.5x run-rate EBITDA. Ranger runs well-service rigs, wireline and coiled tubing in the Permian and Bakken: the crews that keep old oil wells producing. Unsexy, but maintenance work holds up better than drilling. Capital allocation is the pitch. They've bought back ~4.6M shares since 2023 at ~$11 avg, pay a dividend, and just bought STEP's US coiled tubing assets for $27.5M, ~2.5x expected 2027 EBITDA. Chevron gave them 3 more hybrid ECHO rigs in July. Mgmt is targeting $100M+ of EBITDA against a ~$395M EV. Risk: H1 FCF was negative because customers paid slow (receivables went from $78M to $124M). When that cash comes home, FCF jumps.
