Yes, I still like and will defend $AAOI despite the "shitco" claims from the level 1 NPCs on X: - AOI recently signed a $1B to $1.5B 3Y contract with a hyperscalers - Majority of people missed this part, but there's another $5-$7B contract expected to be signed in weeks. This is very large scale relative to current valuations, and gives AOI more visibility for the future. However, the risk I see here is that hyperscalers prefer CPO/NPO laser procurement over pluggables. So that's probably part of the reason they're not doing pre-payments or take/pay like they would for $LITE or $MU capacity expansion. - There's only single digits amount of companies in the world that probably have 300mW-400mW CPO laser capabilities (one of which is the "shitco") This was also a large reason why $COHR got $20B agreements, $LITE $5B agreements + $NVDA investments (UHP lasers). I'd argue they should focus on merchant high end lasers than using their own capacity toward 800g pluggables. And just source lasers from merchant market That would change their valuation premiums overnight IMO, given they have a lot of optionality from end-to-end supply chain manufacturing. _ In terms of valuations, they deserved to be compressed from their infinite $600M ATMs that they used earlier (that they now stopped abusing). And since timelines slipped a few months from DSP bottlenecks and equipment procurement/installation. Then you have macro overhang too + overall AI selloff. As for the operational side of things, it's not eternity and relatively out of their hands... but I wouldn't conflate it as failing qualifications or facing order cancellations. Building up US supply chains like $INTC is always going to be more difficult than easy-mode Asia manufacturing in Malaysia as well. I'd argue this same execution risk they're being punished for over in Texas (like Intel foundry), will turn into a premium once US capacity scales into revenue

This aged pretty well, when I said this last year in 2025, Clickhouse was a $6.7B company... Now as an update, their secondary valuation sits around ~$50B, which $NBIS owns 25%+ of. I've always liked Nebius the most because sum of parts, with all their lesser known subsidiaries growing alongside their core neocloud business. Including Avride (self-driving), Clickhouse, Toloka, and other subsidiaries that they owned. This year Nebius also acquired: - Tavily (web search and retrival) - Clarifai (Inference orchestration) Which scale independently as well (the others were integrated into Nebius Token Factory). Hard to view $NBIS as just another neocloud when it has billions in scaling value outside its core infrastructure business.

The FTC and eight states sued Toast $TOST, the restaurant software and payments company, on October 29, the day after its President and CFO Elena Gomez gave notice. The complaint alleges $TOST: → Enrolled restaurants in subscription add-ons they didn’t agree to. → Charged an undisclosed early termination fee of $150 for each month left on a contract. → Added a $0.99 fee to some online orders over $10 from September 2021 to July 2023, money that went to Toast rather than the restaurants. → Required 30 days’ written notice to cancel without clearly disclosing it, and treated a cancellation as a default on any Toast Capital loan, making the full balance due at once. → Advertised “24/7/365” support that customers say they couldn’t reach. The 10-Q says $TOST will “vigorously defend its interests” and can’t yet estimate a possible loss. CEO Aman Narang argued on the Q3 call that ROSCA (the Restore Online Shoppers’ Confidence Act, a federal law on online subscriptions) was never meant for negotiated business contracts: “If ROSCA were to apply to B2B custom-negotiated contracts in a B2B context, it would have huge implications for really the whole industry and business contracts in general.” He also said $TOST had been cooperating with the FTC “over the past year” before it sued, and that “how we settle the suit” won’t change Toast’s long-term path. With $1.89B of cash and marketable securities and no debt, $TOST can afford a fine, so the bigger risk to me is an injunction that could possibly change how it sells, prices, and cancels contracts.

How magnanimous of Michael Intrator at $CRWV to halt his 10b5-1 stocks sales. Checking filings. Looks like he sold 10MM shares for roughly $1B in gross proceeds (mostly this year). The three founders combined cashed out $3.3B of stock since the IPO. No doubt this stock can be a fantastic trading vehicle given its volatility (250% implied vol into the print), but if you're thinking of this in any longer term context, management already told you what they REALLY think of the business on a longer term horizon....
