So the easter egg:
$MSFT Quantum appears to be an undisclosed hyperscaler...
That is secretly buying from a company that sounds with Prime Ribs according to LinkedIn tracking.
-> Microsoft Quantum posted photos
-> Zoom in to top left and magnified
-> Prime Ribs machine checks out?
It's a duopoly in the MBE space with $VECO for quantum machines (think $AXIA for photonics but for Quantum).
They reported earnings today:
-> It's profitable. ~25 P/E ratio after ER release.
-> Very healthy balance sheet
-> Used for adjacents, like silicon photonics (eg. Fujitsu's quantum dot spinoff)
-> IntelliEPI (aside from $MSFT) well known buyer
Some followers reached out about this name (not taking any credit for DD or finding it). Disclosure: I found their ideas interesting and have positions.
-> Full Credit to @latent_value7 finding $MSFT links
-> Credit to @TheSarge_ for bringing the name to my attention early on
A reminder: Even though I share these cool ideas, I don't recommend anyone take positions based on my posts.
I'm just impressed that people on X found that a hyperscaler buying from a tiny company for their frontier quantum program.
