Yeah so the industry is calling it the wake up call moment, with so many notable cyber attacks and threats this week alone.

Feels like the big dogs CRWD PANW FTNT RBRK OKTA ZS will lead the way, with smaller firms like S (SentinelOne) maybe becoming takeover targets.

An enormous move has already happened. It will likely continue, but I can't buy some of these companies at such valuations.

More that are lesser known:
RPD, QLYS, TENB

ETF: CIBR

Some smaller, higher torque / higher risk names to consider:

RDWR, NTSK, OSPN, SAIL

How can you say this when you are so bullish AI and own NBIS at a million times EBITDA?

Cybersecurity is one of the most at risk industries with AI.

They only way to fight AI is with AI. Which of these cybersecurity companies are investing heavily in AI? Those will be the winner.

watch companies like CRM, NOW, ZETA, PLTR, etc. I believe the next generation of AI native software systems will incorporate embedded cybersecurity features. There will always be a massive market for Crowdstrike etc but as enterprise software becomes more sophisticated I think it will be part and parcel of the stack.

the massive revenue for security will only keep growing

Easily. Different stage of business. Thanks for the question.

In other words, I don't need to make apologies for a company that very well may set the all time five year CAGR record.

CRO said that 1GW of vera rubins will be deployed next year.
Bank of America is estimating that 3-6 month contracts will fetch 44 billion per gw.

I think that an ending 2027 ARR of 25bn is highly attainable.
I would even start at 2025 revenue though 2024 would make it much easier.

2025: 530mm
2026: 3.5bn
2027: 9bn (based on upper range of 2026 ARR guidance).
2028: 25bn
2029: ??

There ya go. You made me "apologize/explain".

If you are so certain on this, then why do you think Core Weaves yields are going berzerk, north of 15%?

It seems that the credit markets are certainty starting doubting the ai infrastructure narrative.

When you find out how much CRWV pays quarterly in interest you’ll have your answer.

They were not responsible in the early days, and the ytd comparison tells the tale.

This has been plain as day for at least 15 months.

You are just blindly believing the company and sell side banks

No, I went very conservative compared to what BAC estimates.

In other words, you have nothing to present.

It sounds like you’re mad that you weren’t a founding member of the “cult”.

NBIS and Coreweave just seem like middle men to me. From what I understand, they buy chips and rent them out, which seems unsustainable.

If there were to be a slowdown in the market due to rising interest rates, and demand for the ai buildout slows because of it, then I don't see what would keep these guys afloat.

An overbuild out or a credit forced slowdown would hurt nearly all tech names, but the giants will be able to recover much easier compared to some of these small infrastructure plays.

This very well could be the beginning of a consolidation phase for "neoclouds" where lesser companies go under or get acquired.

But the market has told us that NBIS is best in class, and it's much more than bare metal, so that helps a lot. They also own several other real businesses, which is something that cannot be said of any other neocloud (unless you are referring to the remnant of shitty bitcoin miners from which they pivoted).
