Amazon bullish on AWS and Trainium.
Amazon is most likely to have a positive earnings reaction due to expected 28% AWS growth and the potential story around the Trainium chip business that is not yet fully priced in.

Buy Alphabet, Amazon as cheaper AI plays.
For AI hyperscaler exposure, Alphabet (10x sales) and Amazon (3x sales) offer drastically cheaper valuations than SpaceX at ~100x sales, making them the better way to play the same theme.

Buy industrial AI beneficiaries.
I am inclined to buy more industrial plays exposed to AI infrastructure, specifically Rockwell Automation (ROK), Teradyne (TER), Quanta Services (PWR), Eaton (ETN), Caterpillar (CAT), and Vertiv (VRT). The thesis: Nvidia's data center revenue (up 115% hyperscale, 74% AI cloud/industrial), physical AI at $9B, supports robotics and industrial automation. Backlogs at these companies are up 34% Y/Y vs historical 3-5%, providing extreme visibility.

AI hyperscaler stocks could crash
The massive AI capex backlogs at Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle are heavily dependent on spending commitments from OpenAI and Anthropic, which are private and may not meet revenue expectations when they go public. This makes the entire AI infrastructure buildout fragile, and the stocks could crash when the truth comes out. The rally may only have one year left.

Malcolm said "DIGITAL REALTY. BETTER PLACE TO GET YOUR EXPOSURE TO THE DAT..." (with transcript cutting off at "DAT"). Digital Realty is positioned as a superior investment for gaining exposure to data infrastructure or related growth areas. LONG because it is highlighted as an attractive vehicle for capitalizing on data demand trends. A slowdown in data growth, technological shifts, or increased competition in data center markets.

Ethridge highlights market dispersion, noting that while tech is down, "You've got like Devon Energy for example, or Diamondback that are up... The dispersion between materials and energy... couldn't be better." In a "buyer's market" defined by dispersion, capital is rotating into sectors with momentum. Energy and Materials are leading the S&P 500 year-to-date, providing a hedge against the inflation/geopolitical risks hurting tech. Long Energy leaders (Devon/Diamondback) following the momentum dispersion. A sharp reversal in energy prices or a rotation back into growth/tech.
