Ideas
Neil Kaplan Bloomberg Senior Strategist 12:11
ASML has monopoly and underpriced.
ASML has a monopoly in extreme ultraviolet lithography, giving it the greatest pricing power among chip equipment makers; the market underestimates its processing power, so ASML should be valued higher than it currently is.
Ken Kencel CEO, Churchill Asset Management 15:02
Private credit lending opportunity is attractive.
Disruption from retail-driven lenders pulling back is creating attractive lending opportunities in private credit, with spreads 50-75 basis points wider, better terms, and lender-friendly dynamics, while institutional allocations continue to grow, making this an attractive time to deploy capital in private credit.
Anuj Ranjan CEO, Brookfield Private Equity 38:56
Real assets benefit from AI buildout shift.
The market is shifting away from asset-light, fast-scaling businesses toward resilient, hard-to-replicate, asset-heavy companies that are critical to the global economy and AI buildout; real assets like power, land, and steel are essential for AI infrastructure, creating tremendous opportunity for investors in real assets and heavy-asset services.
