Google issued equity before SPCX was public. And they’d have had to wait until after a lockup expiry, as will AMZN if they want to sell $ANT. Google also paying some spot compute at $50B/GW so timing of cap raise matters more. And I think just a bit more balance sheet conservative culture, and stock was up 100% in a year and at valuation range highs. I have no issue w/ decision $GOOG made in context.

Is Ackman pivoting out of $NFLX again? Just continuous selling.

Interesting to think of $AMZN ~20% post-IPO stake in Anthropic as a substitute for needing to raise equity. At $2T that is ~$400B of liquid investments it can tap. Would be troublesome for $ANT as a stock, though.

$TSEM Tower Semiconductor's edge is joining chips that move data with light to the electronic chips that drive them, and it has added capacity more successfully than we expected. Next-generation optical links need those two chips to exchange more data inside a shrinking space. In our view that difficult integration, not simply rising demand for fiber or transceivers, is the source of Tower's growing advantage. Hybrid bonding joins the chips through densely packed electrical connections so large amounts of data move between them in a compact package. We regard Tower's capabilities here as effectively unmatched among Western suppliers. The added capacity lets Tower fill more orders itself, leaving less business for competitors. Customers have less reason to switch to a supplier whose technology they consider weaker when Tower can meet their needs. Our conviction rests on Tower's technology. Deeper dive available at Convequity.

$PLTR > ontology > verification > greater enterprise AI adoption https://t.co/7pML8dsh48

So true. We’ve saying this for a while and more so after $MNDY research. The question is why could $PLTR make less performant models work well on enterprises 3 years ago and MNDY still can’t do it today with much more powerful models? It comes down to the ontology and the ontology is instrumental in making work more verifiable.
