Google’s full-stack AI strategy has been unfolding for over a month, and cracks in OpenAI’s circular financing narrative have prompted a seemingly sudden shift in the AI storyline. For Google, this is a build-and-breakthrough arc: incremental upgrades compounded into a step-change, and more importantly, its business positioning has fundamentally shifted. As Anthropic places another 11bn TPU order and Meta advances a collaboration with Google on foundational language models...

In our prior piece 'AI's Original Sin: Is NVIDIA the stimulant AI can’t quit?', Dolphin Research argued that the key shift for the AI supply chain in 2025 is the extreme upstream capture of value, which has thrown the system out of balance. This imbalance is reshaping incentives and risk-taking across the stack.With FOMO running high, AI spend keeps climbing, while rivalry among core players has become more explicit. Capital allocations are increasingly concentrated at the top of the chain.As the internet enters the AI era, regardless of how shifting inputs reshape bargaining power along the value chain, one ultimate question remains. After front-loaded investment in heavy capex, deep tech, and top talent with an approx. five-year depreciation cycle, is this ultimately a bubble?

AVGO vs. NVDA: Did the challenger blink first?

AVGO First Take: Revenue and GPM were in line with market expectations this quarter, with growth largely driven by AI. AI revenue reached $6.5bn, up $1.3bn QoQ on increased TPU volume ramp. On an operating basis, excluding acquisition-related amortization and restructuring, GPM was 76.6%, down slightly QoQ. The decline reflects a mix shift toward lower-margin ASIC. For next quarter, the company guided revenue to $19.1bn, above Street estimates, driven by AI. AI revenue is expected to reach $8.2bn (vs. Street $7.0–7.5bn), implying a $1.7bn QoQ increase. Despite a solid print and guide, investors are more focused on progress with new customers and orders for next year. Given the previously disclosed large AI wins, the market is watching the company's growth trajectory into next year and beyond, including whether it can secure additional customers and orders. With Google's Gemini performing well, it offers an alternative compute stack beyond NVIDIA. Investors also expect Broadcom to win share in AI chips, a view reflected in its top-tier valuation. As a result, the focus this quarter is on management's updates and outlook for AI order flow next year and beyond.
