Qualcomm Custom ASICs?

Qualcomm’s Alphawave SerDes, CPU cores and HBC could support custom AI ASICs as hyperscalers build heterogeneous fleets beyond GPUs.

Storm, American West Metals’ $AWMLF copper project in Arctic Canada, can only receive fuel and equipment during the August-September shipping window each year. $AWMLF plans to file its final mining application with the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB), the territory’s environmental review agency, in Q4 2026, after the Nunavut Planning Commission approved the project description. The full review typically takes ~3 years, and the company has been working with regulators for over 12 months. $AWMLF targets a final investment decision (FID) in early 2028, pre-development in H2 2028, construction in 2029-2030, and first copper in 2030. To start pre-development before the full review ends, $AWMLF plans to ask NIRB for an exception covering limited early works, such as fuel storage, the transport corridor, and a construction camp. The schedule in its pre-feasibility study (PFS) runs the NIRB review and environmental assessment through the end of 2028, in line with the ~3 years the PFS calls typical, and ends ~6 months before the Q3 2029 shipping season, when infrastructure construction starts. If the review runs past mid-2029, construction could slip a full year, since fuel and equipment only arrive during the August-September shipping window. Part of the review will also run through the April 1, 2027 handover of land and resource management from Canada’s federal government to Nunavut’s government, although NIRB keeps reviewing projects after the handover. So I treat 2030 as the earliest year for first copper, not the base case. Each year of delay would take ~US$8M off the US$119M NPV at a 7% discount rate.

My personal opinion is that Kress leadership is negative for $NVDA centric ecosystems and its financing. Companies like $COHR that supply everyone, with long term visibility are more isolated. As for some of the commentary: Kress reportedly “challenged some of Huang’s proposed investments in customers, including deals involving Lambda (Neocloud)” Jensen later called her “A deer in the headlights”. And said she was “A reporting CFO”, not someone who is able to make strategic decisions… In regards to decisions made where Nvidia could build a moat against hyperscaler diversification. Reports have also said CSP executives have now considered $AMD and $GOOGL TPUs following Jensen’s departure. But didn’t do so earlier in fears of retaliation from Jensen Huang.

Boost Run $BRUN shows $218.6M of new GPU leases in Q3, and its September 30 lease schedule still implies a ~7% interest rate, the same as the June 30 schedule implied. $BRUN had to put $96.0M of its own cash up front on two of the three GPU leases it signed in Q3: → 36-month lease: $59.2M advance, then $2.7M/month. → 24-month lease: $36.8M first payment, then $4.3M/month. For reference, the $59.2M advance alone is more than the $39.4M of advances across all 34 GPU leases $BRUN signed in H1 2026. In Q3, $88.2M of warrant exercises covered most of the $109.8M of lease principal $BRUN paid, and cash still rose $36.9M to $170.0M ($157.0M unrestricted). All 11.4M warrants are now exercised, and GPU lease payments due from January to December 2027 rose to $186.2M as of September 30, from $103.5M as of June 30. The two big Q3 leases alone add $6.9M/month of payments in 2027. The ~$221M of 2027 payments I counted across $BRUN's signed commitments in my October 19 update is now ~$307M, before the five equipment leases $BRUN signed in October, which require $83.1M of payments over the next two years. Four of those five are six-month leases that end with $39.6M of final payments, 59.8% of their $66.2M of total payments. Against those payments, $BRUN says $482M of customer prepayments are due as upcoming projects deploy. So 2027 now runs on (1) those prepayments arriving on schedule and (2) monthly billings, since the warrant cash won't repeat.
