Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 17 days.
The thesis — published April 10, 2026
AI demand is turning into real shortages across the Nvidia ecosystem, and reports that a supplier cannot keep up with orders suggest companies are spending to expand. The company's strong balance sheet helps it weather cycles. However, the stock is heavily owned, stretched higher, and insiders have sold, so it reads better as a secondary idea than a top pick.
Primary drivers
- Strong demand for AI chips, optics, and networking fuels sales growth
- Supplier inability to keep up shows spending is real and ongoing
- Very strong balance sheet lets the company invest through cycles
- Heavy ownership and insider selling mean timing should be careful
