$Microsoft(MSFT.US)continues to be a very strong name which is still climbing even with such Al weakness, with so many avenues of revenue, it is diversified in its own right. CAPEX is a concern but definitely see Microsoft surviving even in worst case scenarios, which is why I will be happy to buy every dip, even if the dip keeps dipping in the future!

A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY.
Here's a full recap:1. Nvidia $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) announced partnerships with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to create independent AI compute financing platforms designed to mobilize more than $500 billion of third-party capital over time. The goal is to turn Nvidia compute and full-stack AI infrastructure into an investable asset class, helping fund the global buildout of AI factories while giving Nvidia customers access to large pools of capital at attractive rates. Jensen: “In AI, compute is revenue. NVIDIA compute is uniquely suited for this role. It is broadly adopted, flexible across models and workloads, fungible and transferable across customers and operators, and continuously improved through CUDA software. That is why we are bringing the world’s leading long-term capital providers together to independently underwrite AI infrastructure. These financing platforms will help customers access scarce compute at scale and build the DSX AI factories that will power every industry and country in the age of AI.”2. Meta $Meta Platforms(META.US) released Muse Glimmer, a new 30B-parameter dense AI model with open weights that can run locally, with weights for Muse Spark 1.2 expected to follow soon. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg also said he believes everyone will eventually have a personal AI agent that understands them and what they care about.3. Chinese humanoid robot makers accounted for more than 97% of global shipments in 1H26, with volumes more than tripling to 19,100 units. Agibot led the market with a 44% share, while industrial and commercial use cases made up over 70% of shipments. Unitree Robotics is also going public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange at a $9 billion valuation, with its IPO oversubscribed by retail investors by 8000%. 4. Microsoft $Microsoft(MSFT.US) plans to unveil its next-generation Maia 300 AI chip in September, according to The Information, marking progress after a slower start for its in-house silicon program. Microsoft reportedly plans to expand internal use of Maia while also targeting major external customers. The move could give Microsoft more control over the AI infrastructure powering its services as demand for compute continues to surge.5. Rocket Lab $Rocket Lab(RKLB.US) reported Q2’26 revenue of $234M, slightly ahead of estimates of $231M, up 62% YoY. EPS came in at -$0.08 versus -$0.07 expected, while backlog reached a record $2.36B, up 137% YoY. For Q3, Rocket Lab guided revenue to $250M–$265M, above estimates of $239M, with non-GAAP gross margin expected at 35%–37%. Non-GAAP gross margin in Q2 was 41.5%, while net loss was $49.3M. Business highlights included the announced Iridium acquisition and the launch of GHOST, a globally deployable launch system. Management said backlog growth, combined with new Q3 deals, represents more than $1B in new contracts across launch and space systems, positioning Rocket Lab to become a self-launching, tier-1 space power.6. The top 10 most active options today by contracts traded were $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) with 3.6M contracts, $Tesla(TSLA.US) with 1.9M contracts, $Apple(AAPL.US) with 1.2M contracts, $SpaceX(SPCX.US) with 1.2M contracts, $Microsoft(MSFT.US) with 1.1M contracts, $Micron Tech(MU.US) with 945K contracts, $Intel(INTC.US) with 880K contracts, $Palantir Tech(PLTR.US) with 803K contracts, $Amazon(AMZN.US) with 778K contracts, and $Meta Platforms(META.US) with 704K contracts.7. Hims & Hers $Hims & Hers Health(HIMS.US) reported Q2’26 revenue of $753.2M, beating estimates of $700M, up 38% YoY. Adjusted EBITDA came in at $60.3M versus $47.2M expected, while subscribers rose 19% YoY to 2.891M. U.S. revenue grew 16% YoY to $621.8M, while Rest of World revenue surged 1,641% YoY to $131.4M, helped by the close of the Eucalyptus acquisition in June. For Q3, Hims guided revenue to $880M–$900M, well above estimates of $793M. For FY26, the company raised revenue guidance to $3.1B–$3.3B versus $2.93B expected, while reiterating increased conviction in its 2030 targets of at least $6.5B in revenue and $1.3B in adjusted EBITDA.8. Earnings season is nearly complete, and results have been much stronger than expected. With almost 90% of S&P 500 companies reported, Q2 EPS is now projected to rise 30% YoY excluding investment mark-ups from Alphabet and Amazon, well above the 22% consensus forecast from July 1. Including those one-time gains, EPS growth jumps to nearly 50% YoY. Meanwhile, 76% of companies have beaten EPS expectations, matching last quarter’s beat rate, which was the highest since 2021.9. Intel $Intel(INTC.US) announced a proposed $15B underwritten public offering of common stock, with proceeds intended for general corporate purposes, including CapEx and working capital. The company said customer demand remains strong, driven by major investment in AI compute, with growth opportunities across physical AI, purpose-built silicon, advanced packaging, and external wafers. Intel also expects to give underwriters a 30-day option to buy up to an additional $2.25B of common stock, while emphasizing that the raise is meant to support growth opportunities, maintain balance sheet strength, and preserve its investment-grade rating.10. Trading volume across the 7 leveraged ETFs tied to $SK Hynix(SKHY.US) SK Hynix has collapsed nearly 90% to less than 100M shares/day after regulators raised the minimum cash deposit required to trade the products, effective July 31. The stock decline and tighter rules have shaken out retail investors who chased the rally, with roughly 1T won ($710M) in retail accounts facing forced liquidation in June and another 993B won ($700M) in July, the two largest forced-liquidation months this year. Margin loan balances have fallen to 27.4T won ($19.3B) as of August 4, the lowest level of the year. Morgan Stanley estimates the deleveraging process is now more than halfway complete, though foreign investors remain cautious after selling $30B in June, another $6.2B in July, and $4.3B so far in August.11. Bank of America is sticking with its call for 75 bps of Fed rate hikes this year despite weaker labor data. U.S. payrolls fell by 23,000 in July, while prior months were revised down by another 103,000. The unemployment rate declined to 4.1%, wage growth slowed to 3.2%, and labor-force participation slipped. Even with hiring softening, BofA still expects the Fed to begin raising rates in September, arguing that inflation remains the central concern.12. Micron $Micron Tech(MU.US) today said customers remain largely insensitive to memory pricing as data center demand continues to outstrip supply, with the company saying it cannot meet even half of current customer needs. Management also pointed to demand signals extending multiple years, though it did not provide a specific update to quarterly guidance.WALL STREET IS THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.Source: amit

Third Bridge experts on CPO:
> Despite the hype, mass commercial adoption is not expected before the second half of 2027. Traditional pluggable optical modules are expected to remain the industry standard throughout 2026.> CPO is likely to see early adoption in "scale-out" networking (connecting switches, GPUs, and CPUs) within distances under 500 meters. Deployment into GPUs themselves and "scale-up" chip-level systems is a harder engineering challenge, likely not seeing broad adoption until 2030–2032.> Experts note that training workloads (which require extreme bandwidth) are better suited for CPO, while inference workloads are deterministic and remain well-supported by traditional pluggable modules.> A primary hurdle for CPO is maintenance. With traditional pluggable modules, a failed component can be hot-swapped. With CPO, a failure in the optical subsystem might require replacing an entire board, leading to significantly higher costs and operational disruption.> Nvidia and Broadcom are expected to dominate the CPO market, potentially controlling 70% of it by 2028. Nvidia is expected to capture around 50% market share through its leadership in AI infrastructure, while Broadcom could secure roughly 20% through continued expansion of its deployment footprint. > Large cloud providers (like Google, Meta, AWS, Microsoft) are cautious about CPO because it risks "vendor lock-in." Pluggable modules allow these companies to mix and match components from various vendors, whereas CPO ecosystems are more restrictive.> Through substantial investments in optical component companies like Coherent and Lumentum, Nvidia is positioning itself to control the entire AI value chain—from GPUs and networking switches to the optical modules themselves.> Experts expect pluggable optical modules to remain the dominant solution for cloud giants such as Microsoft and Amazon throughout 2026. CPO adoption is expected to begin in earnest during 2027, reaching approximately 20% to 30% penetration by 2028. - N

Microsoft $Microsoft(MSFT.US) continues to prove it is the undisputed powerhouse of the tech world, closing at $499.99 per share with a massive market cap of $3.71 trillion. The tech giant recently crushed its fiscal Q4 2026 earnings, posting a blowout $90.01 billion in quarterly revenue—up nearly 18% year-over-year—and a highly impressive adjusted EPS of $4.74. The real star of the show remains its Intelligent Cloud segment, headlined by Azure’s staggering 43% year-over-year growth. While other big tech companies struggle to prove their artificial intelligence investments are actually paying off, Microsoft is actively turning AI infrastructure into direct corporate profit, silencing skeptics and driving annual revenues to a historic $331.84 billion for fiscal 2026.
From a strategic standpoint, Microsoft’s immense financial health makes it one of the safest long-term bets in the market. The company is generating massive cash flows—averaging a 30% free cash flow margin—which easily funds its aggressive $41 billion quarterly capital expenditures into AI data centers without destabilizing its balance sheet. Trading at roughly 27.8x trailing earnings, the stock is priced reasonably for its dominant growth profile, especially with Wall Street firms like Citi raising their price targets to $600 following robust forward guidance. While heavy infrastructure spending and regulatory scrutiny over AI software represent minor near-term headwinds, Microsoft’s historic $678 billion in commercial remaining performance obligations secures a virtually ironclad revenue floor for years to come.

SemiAnalysis: SpaceX 10GW
SpaceX's Gigawatt Ambitions & 2027 ProjectionsMassive Expansion: SpaceX aims to conservatively build and deliver an incremental 6–8 GW in 2027 alone, with potential to exceed 10 GW.CapEx Requirements: At an estimated $50B per GW, this translates to $300B–$500B in CapEx for 2027, putting SpaceX on par with AWS and Google.Path to $300B ARR: Driven by high-value, value-based pricing and rapid deployment timelines (3–5 months lead time), SpaceX is projected to reach $300B in ARR by the end of 2027.Financing & Strategy: Funding is expected to be managed via Nvidia vendor financing (explaining Elon Musk’s focus on being Nvidia-exclusive) and industry-high pricing that pays back capital in under a year.The Profitability of AI InferenceHigh Margins at Scale: Frontier model companies (OpenAI and Anthropic) can generate over $100B/GW/year in revenue when selling API inference on a GB300 cluster, significantly outstripping rental costs.Revenue Climbs Up the AI Stack: On a GB300 cluster, annualized revenue per gigawatt scales dramatically from basic neocloud rental ($12B) up to $100B+ at the model-layer token API level.Microsoft’s "2026 Awakening" & Largest Offtaker RoleSurge in Contracting: Microsoft has rebounded from a leasing pause to contract over 10 GW year-to-date across binding PPAs, ESAs, neocloud offtakes, and self-build construction starts, representing ~$300B in new commitments.The Revenue Opportunity: Having reworked its OpenAI deal in April 2026 to remove the old 20% revenue share, Microsoft has a massive incentive to procure power rapidly to capture a $100M/MW/year revenue opportunity.Azure Growth Impact: Contracted compute from partners like SpaceX could accelerate Microsoft Azure's revenue growth from ~42% to over 100% (peaking at 179% in 4Q27).SpaceX’s Execution SpeedProven Track Record: SpaceX and xAI have demonstrated unprecedented deployment speeds, such as building Colossus 1 (300MW) in 122 days and scaling the Southaven power plant from 27 turbines (~495MW) in Feb 2026 to 69 turbines (>1.2GW) by July 2026.Onsite Power Generation: Hitting the 10 GW target heavily relies on scouting suitable land with easy permitting, leveraging fast greenfield/retrofitting methods, and utilizing massive onsite gas generation.+1

$Microsoft(MSFT.US) MSFT reported earnings on July 29, and the stock has been on a tear ever since. The share price is up over 25% since the report and turned positive for the year on Aug. 5. The rally is a relief to shareholders who had watched MSFT drop nearly 30% between October 2025 and March 2026. The company seemed to be at the center of every headwind affecting technology stocks.The numbers behind the rally help explain why. Microsoft posted fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $90 billion, up 18% year over year, with Azure revenue climbing 43%. Full fiscal 2026 revenue topped $331 billion. Microsoft 365 Copilot crossed 30 million paid seats, and the company's commercial remaining performance obligation, essentially its contracted backlog, grew sharply. That combination gave investors something they hadn't had in months: proof that the AI spending is translating into revenue. However, what may be concerning is how quickly the stock has risen over the past week. It is pretty rare for Msft to gain 25% in just 1 week, and people may argue that a pullback could be on the horizon. @Captain's Treasure

$Microsoft(MSFT.US) Tech giant Microsoft disclosed that it generated $24.1 billion in revenue from OpenAI during its latest fiscal year, which shows just how important the partnership has become. Based on Microsoft's earlier AI growth figures, OpenAI may have produced about 70% of the company's total AI-related sales during the year ended in June. For context, OpenAI pays Microsoft to use its cloud-computing infrastructure, which provides the enormous computing power needed to build and run AI models. OpenAI also covers certain model-development costs, while Microsoft receives a share of its revenue. Because Microsoft groups all of these payments together, investors have had trouble figuring out how much of its AI growth comes from OpenAI and how much comes from other customers. It also doesn't help that Microsoft has only provided limited details about the size of its overall AI business. Indeed, at the end of the March quarter, CEO Satya Nadella said that AI revenue had reached a pace that would equal more than $37 billion over a full year. Using Microsoft's reported growth rate, Bloomberg estimated that the business generated roughly $34 billion during the fiscal year. Compared with the $24.1 billion connected to OpenAI, that suggests OpenAI contributed close to 70%. However, Microsoft has started to distance themselves from OpenAI in recent months, as they search for other partnerships and trying to reduce its reliance on OpenAI's business amidst investors' concerns. @Captain's Treasure
