NBIS-centered AI cloud bull trims into defense upside

The author is primarily trading around NBIS, staying structurally bullish on AI cloud infrastructure while explicitly selling a short-term trade after a large move. Distinctive read is that AI cloud names are not simple equipment lessors, with performance benchmarks and token-per-watt economics supporting the thesis. Late week attention broadened into defense, especially Kraken/KRKNF and PNG.V, while NBIS conviction became more risk-aware after warnings about downside and regulatory capture.

Direction this week

The week starts heavily pro-NBIS and AI cloud, then shifts into explicit risk management with downside warnings, regulatory-capture concerns, and disclosures of a short-term NBIS sale. That is a short-term conviction fade or trading trim, not a full thesis flip, because he continues to frame NBIS as a 3-5 year bull case. New late-week focus appears in defense, with Kraken/KRKNF and PNG.V becoming the clearest non-NBIS bullish cluster.

Investors should wait for FCEL earnings rather than chase before new fundamental information arrives.

NBIS, IREN, or BRUN offer cleaner neocloud exposure than CRWV due to better financing, execution, or power economics.

Founder-led management, manufacturing discipline, and proven scaling capability give Bloom a durable execution edge.

Relative bears prefer NBIS or CRWV because IREN lags on deals, execution, dilution, or share-price resilience.

SK Square is a cheap holding-company wrapper for SK Hynix, trading at a large NAV discount that should close over time.

Grade is our human read-worthiness rating; trader score is a rolling 20-bet hit-rate/alpha composite — different things, often disagreeing. “Since then” is direction-unaware in the table; the summary line above adjusts for which way they leaned.
