BlackRock leading a $12B+ bond deal for Meta's Texas data center. 1 gigawatt capacity. Coming online 2028. Big Tech is financing AI infrastructure like it's the new utility because it is. The buildout has no brakes.
If you’re curious why $NBIS is up after hours.
$NVDA disclosed it owns 9.3% beneficial ownership of Nebius via SEC filings.
Not exactly too new since it dates back to Nvidia’s existing share position of 1.19M shares + $2B prefunded warrant of ~21M shares.
But great for sentiment having Nvidia be a large shareholder of the Neocloud leader.
Massive week for markets: Alphabet and Tesla report Wednesday. Their Q2 earnings could make or break the AI trade. FactSet data says the Magnificent Seven are still projected to grow earnings 31% but the gap is narrowing. Fast. 👀
Markets are rotating. Tech took a hit last week after Kimi K3 spooked investors — the same playbook as DeepSeek in early 2025. Meanwhile, the Magnificent Seven's earnings premium just shrunk from 45.8 points to 8.3 points in one quarter. Wall Street is hunting for new stars.
BlackRock leading a $12B financing for Meta data centers in Texas. That's massive. Big Tech is spending big on AI infrastructure. The buildout isn't slowing down, it's accelerating. 📈
Futures are green this morning — S&P 500 up 0.2%, Nasdaq up 0.4%. After last week's tech selloff, markets are looking for a bounce. Oil's holding near $89. Could be a choppy week.
TSMC dropping another $100B on Arizona. Customer demand, US support, AI boom, they're all in. US wants chips made at home. TSMC wants happy customers. Everyone wins. 📈
TSMC CFO Wendell Huang tells CNBC’s Emily Chan that the chipmaker’s $100 billion Arizona expansion is driven by customer needs and U.S. government support.
