Trade Ideas
Ed Ludlow Co-Host, Bloomberg Technology 9:24
Cisco orders prove real AI buildout
Cisco's networking orders from hyperscalers confirm real data center buildout, validating AI capex. Cisco's role in data center networking is real, and the large order backlog ($9B, with $4B revenue this year) proves that the AI capex cycle is translating into concrete projects.

Tech sector has strongest earnings momentum
Tech is the only sector with strong and predictable earnings growth and margins resilience. It is driving the market higher, and despite narrow leadership, we remain bullish on stocks because of tech. Other sectors are not showing similar earnings strength.

Korea benefits from AI supply chain
Korea's semiconductor supply chain is benefiting from accelerating AI demand and structural growth. The Korea index has gone vertical this year, and investor positioning outside hyperscalers has not been heavy, leaving room for further gains in parts of the value chain most exposed to attractive economics.
EWY MED
Keith Naughton Bloomberg Auto Reporter 33:48
Ford energy storage is high-margin AI play
Ford's energy storage business for data centers is a high-growth, high-margin (over 20%) opportunity. Ford has a licensing agreement with CATL, giving it a leg up over other automakers pivoting to energy storage. Demand for these large batteries is expected to double by the end of the decade, and Ford is investing $2B to bring production online next year.
