Want to know a secret?
Leaving my house super early yesterday, I grabbed two shoes and put them on. It was dark and I was hurrying to get to the airport.
Yesterday afternoon I looked down and realized I had two different colored shoes on!
After two days in NYC, either no one noticed or they couldn't bring themselves to call me out. 👟
“Despite June’s pullback, nonresidential planning remains on solid ground,” said Sarah Martin, Director of Economic Research at Dodge Construction Network. “Data center activity continued to drive the Index, but its pace moderated from the extraordinary levels seen in recent months and drove the DMI to pull back over the month. Otherwise, planning activity accelerated across nearly every other sector.”
Within the commercial portion of the Index, slowing data center planning momentum drove this month’s decline. Meanwhile, planning activity for traditional office buildings, warehouses, retail stores and hotels improved. On the institutional side, healthcare planning continued to accelerate in May, alongside recreational, government and religious building activity. Educational planning slowed down for the second consecutive month. Year-over-year, the DMI was up 21.8% when compared to June 2025. Both the commercial and institutional segments were up also 21.8% over the same period. When removing data centers, the commercial segment would be up 7.6% from year-ago levels.
@jaycaspiankang ofc the private equity cancer has infected this whole youth sports whole space some time ago. pay to play for all sounds great to them.
@DannyDayan5@BobEUnlimited yes it is growing 23% (census data). it was growing 80% plus. so the growth rate has slowed as he says. not a big deal though based on other data and indicators as you say.
@BrianRoemmele you know if there external hosting biz is a big success this stock is going to be a disaster since the vast majority of the discounted value here is in the model/enterprise apps biz, right?
"Year-over-year, the DMI was up 33.8% when compared to May 2025. The commercial segment was up 41.2% (+6.6% when data centers are removed) and the institutional segment was up 17.7% over the same period."
"Planning activity for traditional office buildings, data centers, warehouses, hotels and parking garages grew in April, while retail store planning slowed pace. On the institutional side, education and healthcare planning re-accelerated, while recreational, public and religious planning slowed down over the month. Year-over-year, the DMI was up 14.1% when compared to April 2025. The commercial segment was up 37.2% (+5.8% when data centers are removed) and the institutional segment was up 28.8% over the same period. "
@jackprandelli The multiples on most of the AI industrial infrastructure plays are MUCH higher than NVDA’s multiple.The market is massively LONG the theme.
@WarrenPies FCF much less flattering. seems like you have energy and materials eps benefitting from war (not exactly great for rest of econ) and rest of sectors feeding off the lavish spending of the hypers (which is killing the aggregate fcf).
