5 Small Caps with Large Cap Potential 1. $RKLB — Rocket Lab The clearest space infrastructure compounder. Q1 2026 revenue hit a record $200.35M, up 63.5% YoY, with a $2.2B backlog driven by major defense contract wins. The quarter marked a strategic inflection — expanded U.S. national security missions, the Mynaric acquisition for optical comms, and hypersonics/medium-lift pipeline visibility. Neutron medium-lift rocket is the next re-rating catalyst. 2. $CRDO — Credo Technology The AI connectivity pure-play. Revenue surged 272% YoY to $268M last quarter, with EPS beating by 850% vs. the prior year. The company now expects ~170% fiscal 2026 revenue growth, led by hyperscale AI cluster buildouts. Expanding from copper AECs into optical DSPs and ZeroFlap Optics — exactly the photonics layer you’ve been tracking. 3. $NBIS — Nebius Group Europe’s answer to CoreWeave. Q3 revenue growth of 355%, a $17.4B GPU-as-a-Service contract with Microsoft, and a $3B deal with Meta have driven massive momentum — with management noting capacity is completely sold out. Fair value estimates were recently raised from $70 to $85 by analysts. Full-stack AI cloud with room to run. 4. $PLTR — Palantir (borderline mid-cap now, but not large-cap yet) Already in my portfolio. Q1 2026 revenue grew 85% — the fastest since its 2020 IPO — with full-year guidance raised to $7.65–7.66B, implying 71% annual growth. Currently at sub-$350B market cap with analysts predicting a path to $1 trillion by 2030. Still has significant room ahead. 5. $OKLO — Oklo The nuclear power wildcard for the AI energy demand thesis. Small modular reactors are a decade-long infrastructure buildout — the market is pricing in near-zero now, but if even one commercial reactor comes online on schedule, the re-rating would be violent. High execution risk, massive TAM. The pattern across all 5: real revenue + accelerating growth + a structural secular tailwind (AI infra, space, nuclear energy). That’s what turns small caps into large caps — not hype alone. Not financial advice.

The market is up. Oil is at $100+. Inflation is sticky. And bonds are whispering something equities are ignoring. Here’s what’s actually going on- OIL SHOCK REALITY ➜ Geopolitical tension pushed oil sharply higher earlier this cycle ➜ Supply risk around key shipping routes tightened sentiment ➜ Energy inflation became a second-wave macro driver This is not a clean disinflation environment anymore. WHY EQUITIES ARE STILL RISING ➜ Index strength is narrow, not broad ➜ AI capital expenditure is doing the heavy lifting ➜ Hyperscalers are still committing massive spend into 2026 ➜ Earnings growth is increasingly concentrated in AI-linked infrastructure In simple terms: It’s not “the market.” It’s a handful of mega themes. INFLATION IS NOT FULLY DEAD ➜ CPI has re-accelerated from early-year lows ➜ Producer pricing pressure remains elevated ➜ Services inflation is sticky ➜ Energy volatility keeps headline risk alive The “easy disinflation” phase is likely behind us. WHAT BONDS ARE REALLY SAYING ➜ 10Y yield ~4.4% | 2Y ~3.9% | 30Y ~5% ➜ Yield curve is positively sloped again But here’s the nuance: ➜ The curve was inverted for an extended period (2022–2024) ➜ Historically, recessions often follow 1–6 months after un-inversion ➜ We are now inside that window ➜ Credit spreads remain tight → complacency in risk pricing Translation: Bonds are not confirming the equity narrative. THE MESSAGE FROM CREDIT MARKETS ➜ Growth expectations exist ➜ But compensation for risk is historically low ➜ The system is not pricing stress properly That gap is where volatility usually forms. BASE CASE OUTLOOK ➜ Inflation remains sticky in H1, moderates in H2 if energy stabilizes ➜ Rates stay “higher for longer” ➜ Volatility increases around macro data shocks ➜ Returns become more sector-specific, less index-driven WHERE PERFORMANCE IS STILL WORKING The names that work in this environment: ➜ AI infrastructure ($PLTR, $NVDA, $CRDO, $MRVL) ➜ Data center power ($GEV, $ETN, $VST, $CEG) ➜ Photonics & optical networking ($COHR, $FN, $AAOI) ➜ Energy itself ($CCJ, $OKLO, $SMR) This isn’t a “buy everything” rally. It’s a precision rally in a minefield. Know what you own and why. FINAL THOUGHT Equities are pricing stability. Bonds are pricing uncertainty. When those diverge this far — one side eventually adjusts. Not financial advice. DYOR.

Storage makes them dispatchable → LFP BESS: $1,200/kWh (2010) → ~$100/kWh (2024) → ~$60/kWh projected (2030) → 4-hour duration now standard. Long-duration (100hr+) is the unsolved problem → Iron-air, flow batteries, green hydrogen all competing for the long-duration crown → V2G sleeper thesis: 300M EVs by 2035 = massive distributed grid storage network $FLNC $EOSE $QS $BE RENEWABLES — Wind, Hydro & Geothermal → Offshore wind: world-class US East Coast resource, but capex + financing challenged → Pumped hydro still 95% of ALL global grid storage — massively underappreciated → Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS): Fervo Energy proved commercial scale — dark horse → Geothermal = 24/7 baseload, zero emissions, geography no longer a hard limit $PLUG AI IS THE MEGA-DRIVER → 1 ChatGPT query ≈ 10× the electricity of a Google search → Hyperscalers have announced nuclear PPAs exceeding 10GW since 2023 → The wave thesis plays out in layers: W1 → Semiconductors ($NVDA $AMD) — well known ✅ W2 → Memory ($MU $SNDK) — catching up ✅ W3 → Photonics ($COHR $AAOI $FN $CRDO) — mid-innings 🔄 W4 → ⚡ Energy ($CEG $VST $OKLO $ETN $GEV) — early innings. We are HERE 🎯 W5 → Robotics/Physical AI — next wave 🔜 RISKS TO WATCH → IRA rollback attempts — policy is the #1 overhang → Permitting timelines remain brutal (10–15 years for transmission lines) → Nuclear cost overruns — historical pattern, balance sheet quality matters → Rate sensitivity — these are long-cycle capex-heavy businesses → Supply chain concentration (China dominates solar, battery manufacturing) Not financial advice.

The Complete Data Center Stack: Where the AI Infrastructure Money Flows Most investors still think AI is just about GPUs. That’s incomplete. AI is an infrastructure buildout, and the real opportunity spans the entire data center stack. Every inference, every training run, and every deployed model depends on multiple layers working together. Here’s the breakdown: 1. Compute Silicon (The Brain) Tickers: $NVDA, $AMD, $AVGO, $INTC This is the foundation. GPUs, CPUs, accelerators, and custom silicon power training and inference. Why it matters: - Compute demand keeps rising with larger models - AI workloads are forcing faster chip innovation - Custom ASICs are becoming a major trend 2. Server OEMs & Solutions (The Hardware Layer) Tickers: $SMCI, $DELL, $HPE, $VRT, $ETN, $MOD Chips need systems. These companies assemble and deliver the physical AI servers and power systems. Why it matters: - AI racks are denser and hotter - Power distribution is now critical - Cooling is becoming a competitive advantage 3. Memory & Storage (The Hidden Bottleneck) Tickers: $SNDK, SK Hynix, $MU, $WDC, $P, Samsung, $NTAP AI models consume massive amounts of memory bandwidth and storage. Why it matters: - High-bandwidth memory is becoming strategic infrastructure - Data storage demand rises with AI deployment - Faster access = better model performance 4. Networking & Connectivity (The Nervous System) Tickers: $ANET, $CSCO, $MRVL, $CRDO, $CIEN, $NOK AI clusters must communicate at ultra-high speed. Why it matters: - Faster networking reduces latency - Data movement is becoming expensive - Scale depends on interconnect efficiency Key idea: AI cannot scale without bandwidth. 5. Neoclouds & Physical Infrastructure (The New Builders) Tickers: $NBIS, $IREN, $CRWV, $APLD $CIFR $DGXX These companies provide specialized AI infrastructure and hosting. Why it matters: - Cloud alternatives are growing - AI-native infrastructure is becoming valuable - Capacity shortages create pricing power 6. Energy (The Ultimate Constraint) Tickers: $CEG, $NEE, $EOSE, $GEV, $EQT, $VST $OKLO $BE $FLNC AI consumes enormous electricity. Power availability is becoming a limiting factor. Why it matters: - Grid demand is surging - Battery storage is essential - Reliable baseload power matters Final Thought The market often focuses on one winner. But AI infrastructure is an ecosystem. If you want to understand where capital flows next, follow the stack: Compute → Servers → Memory → Networking → Infrastructure → Energy The biggest winners in the AI cycle may not always be the obvious names. Sometimes the best opportunities are in the supporting layers that make the whole system possible.

The AI Power Crisis Is Becoming the Trade of the Decade The narrative has shifted. It’s no longer about chips — it’s about electricity. Morgan Stanley estimates a 126 GW surge in global data center demand by 2028, with a ~49 GW shortfall in the U.S. alone. In Virginia, interconnection queues already exceed 5 years. And a new trend is emerging: Nearly 30% of new data center capacity by 2026 will be built off-grid — up from almost zero a year ago. The constraint is no longer silicon. It’s watts. Here’s how the entire power stack is shaping up: POWER GENERATION (Where electrons come from) $CEG — The nuclear anchor. Long-duration contracts with hyperscalers like Microsoft and Meta. Real, scaled nuclear exposure. $VST — High-growth merchant power mix (gas + nuclear + renewables). Strong earnings leverage to demand spikes. $TLN — Direct hyperscaler power supply agreements (AWS-linked data center buildouts). $NEE — Renewable giant with long-term contracted megadeals (including multi-GW deals with Big Tech). POWER INFRASTRUCTURE (Grid to chip) $GEV — The backbone play. Gas turbines today, SMR optionality tomorrow. Massive backlog growth driven by AI demand. $ETN — Power architecture leader. 800V DC systems + liquid cooling integration after major acquisitions. $NVT — Smaller, faster-growing power distribution player riding high-density AI load demand. THERMAL MANAGEMENT (Cooling the AI explosion) $VRT — Critical bottleneck winner. AI racks now pushing 10x+ power density vs 2023. Record backlog driven by hyperscalers. $SBGSY — Global industrial rival in the same cooling + infrastructure race. NEXT-GEN NUCLEAR (Long-duration optionality) $GEV — SMR development optionality alongside current cash flows $BWXT — Nuclear components + defense + SMR supply chain exposure $OKLO — High-risk, long-duration microreactor bet $NNE — Pure speculative nuclear startup exposure OFF-GRID / BEHIND-THE-METER (Bypassing the grid) $BE — Fuel cells powering on-site AI clusters $FCEL — Early-stage distributed energy systems • Microgrid and on-site generation adoption accelerating as grid queues stretch beyond 5–7 years THE BIG PICTURE Power is now the bottleneck of AI expansion. Not GPUs. Not software. Not demand. But electrons delivered at scale, on time, and on-site. Estimates suggest power constraints alone could unlock hundreds of billions in value redistribution across the energy and infrastructure stack. The AI trade is no longer just compute. It’s: 👉 Power generation 👉 Grid infrastructure 👉 Cooling systems 👉 On-site energy independence Final thought: Everyone sees the AI chip cycle. Few are pricing in the energy system rebuild underneath it. That’s where the next 3–5 year compounding likely sits. Not financial advice.

The AI Infrastructure Bottleneck AI demand isn’t slowing. It’s colliding with reality. Power costs are rising. Communities are pushing back. Permits are getting harder. Project cancellations are climbing. This isn’t weak AI demand. This is infrastructure hitting its ceiling. Compute scaled in 18 months what normally takes a decade. Data centers went from background infrastructure to the most power-hungry real estate on earth — almost overnight. Utilities weren’t ready. Grids weren’t ready. Permitting systems built for a slower world weren’t ready. So now you have the most capital-rich companies in history competing for a fixed, constrained resource: Megawatts. That collision created a new capital cycle: AI → Energy → Infrastructure The market hasn’t fully priced the downstream implications yet. When datacenter capacity gets delayed or cancelled, the reflex is to ask: “Is AI demand softening?” Wrong question. The right question is: “Who benefits when supply tightens?” Less derisked capacity doesn’t reduce demand. It concentrates it. And concentrated demand is a pricing event. When power supply tightens: → Frontier labs fight for compute at premium pricing → Hyperscalers delay expansion timelines, reshuffling capex → Chip, memory, ASIC, and CPU ecosystems feel the ripple — not because demand died, but because deployment slowed → Whoever controls reliable, permitted, grid-connected power becomes the most valuable asset in the AI stack This is the Silicon-to-Substation Shift. Just like bandwidth defined the internet era — whoever controlled the pipes controlled the economy — reliable power generation is becoming the defining constraint of the AI economy. The bottleneck has moved up the stack. The market always chases the obvious trade first. $NVDA. $AMD. Memory. Networking. The picks and shovels everyone already knows. But when the bottleneck shifts — the alpha moves too. Right now, the bottleneck isn’t silicon. It’s megawatts, transformers, transmission lines, and building permits. The second-order trade is where the real opportunity lives — across five infrastructure layers most investors haven’t rotated into yet: Power Generation Nuclear is back. Natural gas is back. Utilities signing 20-year offtake agreements with hyperscalers. The cleanest, most reliable, 24/7 baseload power is suddenly the scarcest commodity in tech. $VST → baseload + nuclear, direct hyperscaler relationships $CEG → largest nuclear operator in the US, massive AI offtake pipeline $SMR / $OKLO → next-gen modular nuclear, secular long-term positioning Grid Infrastructure Transformers. Substations. Transmission lines. The hardware between the power plant and the server rack is now a national bottleneck — with multi-year lead times. $PWR → grid construction & transmission at scale $ETN → electrical components backbone, transformer exposure, margin expansion Energy Storage Intermittent renewables can’t power AI campuses alone. Grid-scale battery storage and microgrid systems bridge the gap — especially as utilities demand more dispatchable flexibility before approving new load connections. $FLNC → utility-scale storage, growing backlog, grid stabilization play Cooling Infrastructure A 100MW AI cluster generates extraordinary heat density. Air cooling is dead at scale. Liquid cooling, immersion systems, and thermal management are now standard spec in every new hyperscale build — one of the most underappreciated sub-themes in the entire stack. Datacenter Construction & Power Systems Before a single GPU goes online — somebody pours the concrete, runs the conduit, installs the switchgear, and commissions the facility. Construction and power systems backlogs are extending years out. $STRL → datacenter construction, revenue inflecting hard $BW → industrial power systems, 1.2GW AI datacenter deployment The thesis is simple: AI isn’t running out of demand. It’s running into megawatts. Not financial advice.

Most investors are always chasing the last wave. The AI infrastructure cycle is playing out in layers — and each one is bigger than the last. Here’s the full roadmap: Wave 1: Semiconductors ✅ (Priced In) $NVDA. $AMD. $AVGO. The GPU arms race. Everyone knows this trade. Raw compute was the foundation. Most of the upside? Already captured. Wave 2: Memory & Storage ✅ (Confirming) More data. More inference. More throughput. Flash, DRAM, HBM all followed. $SNDK ’s recent move is the latest confirmation. The storage bottleneck is real — and the market is finally catching up. Wave 3: Photonics & Optical Networking 👀 (In Motion NOW) This is what most retail investors are still sleeping on. You cannot move AI workloads at scale with copper wire. Data centers need ultra-fast, low-latency interconnects — and photonics is the only answer. Silicon photonics is actively replacing copper-based communication inside and between hyperscaler campuses. The plays institutions are quietly accumulating: $AAOI — pure-play optical components, deep data center exposure $COHR — vertically integrated photonics at scale $LITE — transceivers powering the hyperscaler build-out $POET — integrated optical engines, early-stage, asymmetric upside $CIEN — backbone optical networking infrastructure $FN — precision optical manufacturing, best-in-class margins This wave is not coming. It is here. Wave 4: Power & Energy Infrastructure (Early Stage) AI doesn’t run on ambition. It runs on electricity. Data centers are projected to consume 8–10% of U.S. power by 2030. That is not a tailwind. That is a structural demand shock the grid is not prepared for. Nuclear is the only baseload solution that can sit next to a hyperscaler campus and deliver consistent, carbon-light power at scale. The plays: $CEG & $VST — utilities with nuclear-powered AI offtake contracts $CCJ — uranium supply, the fuel behind the revival $OKLO & $SMR — next-gen small modular reactors $VRT — liquid cooling and power management inside data centers The capex commitments from $MSFT, $AMZN , and $GOOG are already locked in. The power infrastructure just needs to catch up. This wave is early. That is the opportunity. Wave 5: Robotics 🤖 (Loading…) Once AI is trained, powered, and connected — it needs a body. Physical deployment into warehouses, factories, logistics, and healthcare. This is the final and potentially the largest layer of the entire cycle. Hardware-software integration is still 12–24 months from full ignition. But the smart money is already laying the groundwork quietly. The pattern is simple: Each layer enables the one after it. → Semis built the brain → Memory gave it recall → Photonics gave it nerves → Power gives it fuel → Robotics gives it hands The investors winning this decade are not chasing yesterday’s leader. They are identifying tomorrow’s bottleneck — and positioning before the crowd arrives. The question is not which wave already ran.

I'm currently at 20% cash, my highest cash position ever. It's not because I sold, but mainly because I haven't added extra cash in a while. Starting from next week, I will start to use this cash again. I'm still considering which positions I will strengthen. I probably won't buy the $IREN dip. $IREN is currently 6% of my portfolio and I'm down 20% on the position. I'm still bullish long-term but I don't feel that this is the moment to buy the dip. I feel that the market is still de-risking. Pre-revenue stocks like $OKLO have dropped 71% from the highs. In industries like datacenters or space, the safer stocks are currently outperforming the market. For space, the positive free cash flow of $PL is giving them the edge. In the datacenter environment, $NBIS is clearly outperforming. IREN's business model makes that they are the high risk - high reward play in the datacenter industry. To put it simply, they buy the $NVDA GPUs and lend them. So, IREN is not only providing the power, they are providing the hardware as well. Other business models, only provide power. This makes that $IREN needs more cash than other companies do in the space. The $6b ATM is a logical consequence. I don't agree that the $6b ATM is just "noise". I also don't agree that this is the end. I know that they only issued the option to activate the $6b ATM, but I don't see why you would issue the option without confirming it. They won't activate this yet though. They just bought the newest Nvidia GPUs without the ATM. These GPUs will be used to attract a new hyperscaler deal. This new deal will bring more cash but, it will be paid in multiple steps. So, I believe the activation will only happen after $IREN announces a new deal and need more cash to buy more GPU's to attract another deal. The first new deal should push the stock higher and make the ATM less impactful than it would be today. An ATM is never completely noise though. Noise does not impact the balance sheet, an ATM does. In a market where the key theme is de-risking, a company where the Sword of Damocles is hanging over their head, is probably not the best choice now. Might add some more when the broader market shift changes, but happy with my position at the moment.
