$Nebius(NBIS.US) Nebius stock surged after Nvidia disclosed a 9.3% stake in the neocloud. The Amsterdam-based company has emerged as one of Europe's leading neoclouds providing AI compute, and has inked multiple deals with tech giants in 2026 amid massive infrastructure spending. The company has been one of the big beneficiaries of the AI boom, with the stock gaining nearly 250% in the past year. Nvidia previously announced it would invest $2 billion in the Dutch company, which is listed on the Nasdaq. As part of the deal, the companies will collaborate on AI infrastructure deployment, fleet management, inference and AI factory design and support. In March, Meta signed a long-term agreement to spend up to $27 billion on Nebius' AI infrastructure. With 2 of the top companies investing heavily into Nebius, this injects a strong vote of confidence especially for investors, amd if Nebius is able to deliver consistently, I don't see why the stock can't run up even more in the future. @Captain's Treasure

$IREN(IREN.US) IREN announced that it has raised its year-end AI Cloud annualized run-rate revenue (“ARR”) 1 target from $3.7bn to more than $4bn, of which approximately 85% is now under contract following new multi-year cloud services contracts with leading AI developers representing $2.8bn in total contract value. IREN's customer base now includes Microsoft, NVIDIA, Perplexity, Figure AI, Together AI, Fluidstack, Fireworks AI, Fal AI, Hume AI, and a new leading AI developer, across both bare metal and managed cloud services. Demand from hyperscalers, enterprises, AI developers and frontier labs continues to exceed IREN's available and planned capacity, and IREN is engaged with customers across its entire 2026 and 2027 expansion program. @Captain's Treasure

$NVIDIA(NVDA.US) The market has had some concerns regarding Nvidia heading before CEO Jensen addressed them. The first concern is product delays. The market had previously rumored that the next-generation Rubin Ultra architecture might be delayed to 2028 for delivery, raising investor worries about a gap in Nvidia's product iterations. However, Jensen Huang denied this rumor and emphasized that Rubin Ultra is still scheduled to ship on plan. For Nvidia, the stability of its product roadmap is critical, as AI customers' procurement plans, data center construction pacing, and capital expenditure budgets all revolve around Nvidia's GPU architecture iterations. Second concern is whether cloud service providers' self-developed ASICs will eat into Nvidia's market share. Amazon, Google & other major cloud providers are all pushing forward with self-developed AI chips, sparking market worries that these custom chips will erode demand for Nvidia GPUs. However, by leveraging its CUDA ecosystem, Nvidia can still maintain a comprehensive cost advantage in most commercial scenarios. @Captain's Treasure

Alphabet sold off roughly 200 Billion in market cap after a report stated that Gemini 3.5 Pro could be delayed following disappointing coding results. Meanwhile, Apple also overtook Nvidia as the world's most valuable company as the latter continues to struggle this year as compared to its competitors. Still, Nvidia remains fundamentally solid and still ranks pretty highly even among the Mag 7 stocks

$Meta Platforms(META.US) Earlier this week, Meta announced that its Hyperion data center will expand to 5 gigawatts of compute capacity, up from the earlier plan for 2 GW. The total investment in the project has now crossed $50 billion. Hyperion is where Meta trains its largest AI models, and construction has been running since December 2024. Less than two weeks ago, Meta was reportedly setting up a cloud unit to sell its spare computing power. Zuckerberg told shareholders that getting into cloud computing was “definitely on the table.” He said that companies were asking to buy the company’s API service or pay a premium for its spare compute. If the cloud plan goes ahead, the extra capacity at Hyperion will become something Meta can sell. That would turn an investment of up to $145 billion this year into a revenue line, which is what investors have been waiting to hear. @Captain's Treasure

The slide continues as capital flows out of high beta stocks into safer and more stable companies. Momentum names like Sandisk & Nebius have started to come down a little after a huge rally over the past months. This is the consolidation period to see whether the bulls can continue to hold or whether the profit taking puts too much downwards pressure.

$Nebius(NBIS.US) Nebius has launched an asset-light partnership model, allowing partners to finance and operate AI data centers while Nebius provides necessary technology and sales support. This model enhances capital efficiency and service consistency, enabling Nebius to expand its AI infrastructure without heavy investment, alongside a billion-dollar agreement with Reflection AI ensuring demand for its capabilities. While projecting significant revenue growth, investors should remain cautious of competitive and regulatory risks that could impact Nebius's scalability and profitability. After a period of upward trajectory, the stock seems to be finding its consolidation range, while I'm still personally holding to go long. @Captain's Treasure

The biggest US banks reported earnings yesterday with a stellar record. Both J.P. Morgan & Goldman Sachs reported way better than expected earnings, which led the banking sector higher. The finance sector is finally getting some love - even local banks are creating new highs everyday. Yet, the hype still stays within the memory sector. It is no longer a surprise to see Micron for example, to be down 6% today just to be up another 10% the next day.

$Alphabet(GOOGL.US)Alphabet is trying to turn its in-house AI chips, known as Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), into a business line that serves other companies.

Alphabet built these chips to run its own AI models faster and cheaper. Now it wants to rent out that same chip power to other companies, including AI labs and financial firms, giving them an alternative to Nvidia's graphics processors. The move plugs Alphabet directly into a market currently dominated by Nvidia, AMD & Intel. Alphabet's shift from using TPUs internally to renting them out could give Google Cloud a new identity as a seller of AI computing power rather than just a buyer. It opens a revenue stream tied to outside demand for AI workloads which could support profit margins across Google Cloud over time. @Captain's Treasure

$ServiceNow(NOW.US) International Business Machines Corp (IBM.N) shares fall ~18% in pre-market trading on Tues after the co announces preliminary Q2 revenue below analyst estimates. The company expects Q2 revenue of $17.2 bln, below the consensus estimate of $17.86 bln, per data compiled by LSEG. With many using IBM as the industry threshold, a significant pullback like this will definitely affect other software stocks as well, with Microsoft down 3%, Salesforce down 5% and Servicenow down 8% respectively following the news. Besides, with Trump declaring war once more, data center and software stocks have been dealing with bearish pressure and sliding down even more. My course of action is to ride out this downturn. @Captain's Treasure

$Super Micro Computer(SMCI.US) Super Micro Computer stock has fallen approximately 5% year-to-date and 44% over the past year due to concerns regarding shareholder dilution and regulatory issues, including a raid related to alleged smuggling of AI chips. Citi analyst Asiya Merchant raised her price target for SMCI stock to $33, citing long-term demand for AI infrastructure, but expressed caution due to margin pressures and regulatory challenges. Wall Street maintains a Hold consensus rating on SMCI, with an average price target of $37.91, suggesting a 37% upside potential despite concerns about customer concentration and volatility. In my opinion, anything within the $20 to $30 range is a Buy for long term. @Captain's Treasure

$Strategy(MSTR.US) Strategy's business model, focused on buying and holding Bitcoin using issued stock and debt, is shifting due to Bitcoin's significant price decline and the need for cash reserves. The company plans to sell up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin to fund stock buybacks and support preferred stock payments, indicating a necessary pivot to adapt to the evolving cryptocurrency market. However, this shift raises concerns about the sustainability of Bitcoin as an investment, suggesting that more conservative investors may want to avoid Strategy altogether. I'm waiting for a rebound in Bitcoin before proceeding to let go of Strategy all together. @Captain's Treasure

World Cup every 4 years will always bring people together regardless of whether they are avid football fans or not. As we approach the quarter finals, I will be watching Spain vs Belgium tonight since it's the weekend and can sleep in afterwards.

Having just won Euro in 2024, Spain looked the stronger candidate to advance tonight. However, Belgium could still potentially be the dark horse, with clutch players like trossard already having 5 g/a in this tournament. Statistically speaking, Spain should still have this covered. Let's see. @Captain's Watch

$Meta Platforms(META.US) Meta is reportedly being required to unwind its $2 billion acquisition of AI startup Manus after intervention from Chinese authorities, opening the door for Tencent Holdings to pursue a controlling stake. Tencent is in discussions with Manus and several of the startup's existing investors, including ZhenFund and HSG, to acquire the company after Beijing directed Meta to reverse the transaction, according to a Thursday media report. The proposed consortium is considering a deal valued at no less than $2 billion, which would make Tencent the startup's largest shareholder if completed. The report said the group aims to repurchase Manus from Meta following the regulatory order. This might be good for Meta since Chinese regulations can be unpredictable. @Captain's Treasure
