for every $1 you spend in ridehailing:
70cents go to drivers.
16cents to operations.
14cents to shareholder cash.
5 years ago, that last number was negative.
5 years ago, ridesharing apps were considered black holes for cash.
now every $100 you spend on a ride becomes $18 of free cash flow.
the unprofitable gig-economy era is over. but Wall Street still prices it like 2019.
the plays are in Edgen.
5 years ago $TSLA and Waymo said self-driving cars would kill ride-share.
today, those same Autonomous Vehicles are being booked through ride-share apps.
ride-share didn't lose to AV. it became the booking layer for AV.
and with AI, their returns and moat are increasing.
2023: US bans advanced AI chips from China.
everyone said China would fall behind.
2025: China builds its own AI chips.
2026: China cloud growth hits 40%, running entirely on domestic infrastructure.
the bet against China didn't work. the winning stock plays are in Edgen.
these China cloud stocks trade at 13x earnings.
a US business growing 40%/yr trades at 30 to 50x.
the China discount is the biggest mispricing in tech.
the stock plays are in Edgen.

3 years ago, the US πΊπΈ sanctioned China's π¨π³ AI ambitions.
today, the fastest-growing cloud on earth is Chinese.
40% YoY. faster than $AMZN's AWS. faster than $MSFT's Azure. faster than $GOOGL's Cloud.
the bet against Chinese stocks failed, and backfired. π§΅
China's whole internet economy is pivoting. retail (2% growth) is stagnating. but AI cloud (40%) is taking over.
the biggest infrastructure pivot in tech is happening 8,000 miles away.
let's say your phone has 256GB of storage.
ONE AI server needs the equivalent of THOUSANDS of phones of that same chip.
$MSFT, $GOOGL, $AMZN, $META are building THOUSANDS of AI servers. from the same suppliers.
who benefits? Edgen has the stock plays: https://t.co/LQPhU90WAy
NAND flash memory is the chip in every phone or laptop on earth.
AI just made EVERY data center need 15x MORE of it. with demand growing 35% per year.
a new factory to produce them take 3+ years.
nobody started in time.
who benefits from that trend? the plays are in Edgen.
it's official: Q4 2025 holiday revenue grew 12% over Q4 2024 (!)
with 145% tariffs from Trump. with everyone calling the model "broken".
local warehouses, merchant cost-sharing, bulk container logistics. the adaptation happened way faster than expected.
ecommerce platforms might have dropped short-term,
but they are definitely not dying.
the ticker plays are in Edgen.
