Nvidia benefits from AI compute shortage.
Nvidia is the key enabler of AI compute, and the exponential growth in AI demand justifies the massive capex spend by hyperscalers. The company's chips are in shortage, and the ROI for hyperscalers is quick (18 months), supporting continued demand.

Memory oligopoly faces surging AI demand.
The memory chip space is now an oligopoly of three players (Micron, SK Hynix, Samsung) after consolidation; these players are disciplined on adding capacity due to historical scars, while exponential AI compute demand (agentic AI etc.) requires almost unfathomable amounts of chips, creating a very favorable supply-demand dynamic.

AI capex cycle has years to run.
AI-related stocks and the associated capital expenditure cycle are in the early innings of a secular multi-year growth phase driven by compute shortages. Earnings revisions have kept pace with stock moves, so multiples are not expanding unsustainably. The continued capex buildout through at least 2028 supports further upside, and market skepticism provides a buying opportunity.

Amazon is cheap with strong AWS growth.
Amazon is undervalued with a PE in the teens, compared to other retailers like Costco and Walmart. AWS is growing in the mid-to-high 30s, driven by AI and the partnership with Anthropic. The company's own tranium chip, while behind Google's TPU, will help lower compute costs and provide more supply in a constrained market.

AI data demand boosts Western Digital's earnings.
Western Digital is one of only two hard disk drive manufacturers (with Seagate) and is benefiting from the AI-driven demand for data storage. The company has seen earnings estimates jump from $10 to $25, and the industry is not adding capacity quickly, leading to a supply-demand imbalance.
