@negligible_cap@PythiaR Consulting is first thing companies are cutting to increase AI budgets. They missed on SW tied to mainframe workloads. Its more a mainframe miss than SW miss.
@PrefShares The 16B$ Waymo funding round + 1P expansion is hard for me to process. Is there a chance it tries to build a human/AV network faster than Uber can add AVs to its network?
@Invesquotes Remember when litho intensity concerns, China slowdown, sluggish bookings and High NA delays were holding the stock back. Those were the good old days.
@SupBagholder@eric_seufert@jolivan I kinda disagree here. Ad optimization/conversion is discussed at lenght in calls. They can only go so deep while leaving time to hit on the other initiatives. Also, if stock was 1000$ would we be talking about his communication skills?
@GHadjia Same argument can be made for Search and YT maturity IMO, plus you need to UW OAI risk. Mkt is assigning very high mult for GCP. So lots of upside if META can show path to improving and monetizing its new LLM.
@taobanker@evrgn11112231@epochso@malinvested I’m trying to rationalize how GOOG will spend 240B$ in 2027 as Search matures, it will have to be in support of GCP which is spending into a market with two other LLMs dictating how much capex they *think* they’ll need in 3 years and getting AMZN/MSFT on board with that plan.
@CousinGraig@imnotharsh@PiyDW A bit strange their guide to only modest acceleration for Azure in H2 calendar 26 given their GPU mix of capex has gone up, no?
@MattJMcClintock Been wrestling with this thought: Why isn’t a category killer taking more share/comping better than this even in a tough macro (vs say CVNA). Makes me think value prop not special enough?
@ZachZinn3 @HedgeyeComm And they’re obviously reaping some reward from that 2024-25 capex or they wouldn’t be re-accelerating? They mentioned working on next gen recommenders in the call which is what I’m referring to.
