(4,293 posts)just rolled from crypto to AI. There is also cloud computing so that is three different customer bases for the same infrastructure.
MARA has locked in electrical power at $0.04 per kwh -- that guarantees a profit even if they wind up simply reselling the power. WULF is in a similar position and can do AI, cloud or crypto. SMCI likewise is well positioned with or without AI.
Outside of infrastucture, the software plays are looking good -- PLTR will have massive cash flow since it basically a software company. On a slightly smaller but still well into the billions play, Figma (FIG) with a $24-bil valuation is poised to take down Adobe, a $142 bil company.
HOND, UUUU and USAR seem guaranteed to grow even if AI was outlawed. Cheap green power doesn't need AI to be profitable.
Agree that there will be a shake out but AI is here to stay and many of these companies are guaranteed in the ways that Leonard Cohen sang about.
>The AI companies are not making money< Yes they are. PLTR has an 80% profit margin for 2024. APPL GOOGL, MSFT are all AI players that have been in the black for decades. NVDA made $3.54 per share. Trades at 57 P/E but it's growing and, my main point, it has the entire US government behind it.
