Everyone is talking about parallels to 1999 in terms of the stock market, but my dad — a 50+ year veteran of the power industry — pointed out another one. Back then, the EIA projected America needed over 300 GW of new generation. NRG, Calpine, Mirant, and Enron raced to build it, adding roughly 175 GW in five years. Then the dot-com bubble burst, the demand didn’t materialize, and all four went bankrupt. He was at Calpine at the time. Today, NERC projects we’ll need ~220 GW of new peak demand by 2035. Eerie…it's almost the exact same number of gigawatts too.

The big 5 hyperscalers are estimated to spend ~$800 billion this year alone.

But from a cash perspective, a HUGE benefit — the tax savings they get from the AI build out as a result of the OBBBA — is essentially invisible in their earnings.

Get your tin foil hats on: I'm going to explain why the $12.5bn sale of the LA Lakers (the craziest story in sports right now) is ACTUALLY the biggest Private Credit scandal of the year.

The real question now is: what other sports teams and rare assets may be up for grabs, and how widespread is this kind of activity in the first place?

Quite possible that this shakes up the entire foundation of private markets investing as we know it today, where all the major private capital players have either bought or built a balance sheet in similar fashion.

NVDIA’s 5Y CDS have doubled in the past few weeks. They’re now at 80 bps. 😳 Translation: the market is now pricing in a 6.4% chance they go BANKRUPT in the next 5 years. Does anyone REALLY believe NVDIA, the most valuable company in the world, has a 6.4% chance of going bankrupt in the next FIVE YEARS? Although given I’m the dumb*ss who took a job offer at Lehman Brothers over JPMorgan in 2006, what do I know.

Working on a reel about energy and AI data centers. I still find it so wild that when it comes to electricity, it’s mostly the red states that are socialist while blue states (plus Texas) have free markets.

Did anyone else realize that @nvidia chips are all named after legendary scientists? And many, including the newest model, ARE WOMEN?!

Apparently their latest model --- the "Rubin" --- is named after Vera Rubin, an American astronomer whose observations of galaxy rotation in the 1970s provided the first strong evidence that dark matter exists.

We’ve gone down the rabbit hole researching our next video on the semiconductor trade (the same one that blew up Situational Awareness), which has resulted in a deep dive into Nvidia’s supply chain and their chips.

Listened to the @elonmusk @TheEconomist interview…he’s the second CEO who’s recommended “The Culture Series” by Iain M. Banks for a potentially optimistic (aka, non-Terminator) vision of the post-AI future. Guess that’s next on our summer reading list! Side note: one of the reasons we’ve held off on this one previously is the heated disagreement on which order to read them in. Until now, it’s been too much of a hassle to parse through Reddit threads and figure out what order to tackle them in. Clearly gotta do some research now --- send us your recommendations!

Could Anthropic IPO for a $3 Trillion Valuation?

What about $2 trillion, which is what regular finance media (the Financial Times) has reported they’re targeting.

Anthropic's IPO is expected in the next couple months, with the S-1 expected in October.

That will tell us about past profitability, net cash and debt, lease obligations. What it won't tell us is the number that actually drives valuation. Equity investors are forward looking, and for a company growing this fast, 2028 is the year investors are pricing off of. That means we typically like “consensus research estimates”, but the banks on the deal can't publish until roughly 25 days after the stock starts trading.

With that said, this exercise was an attempt to use available public info — Anthropic has shared expected 2028E revenue of $190-200bn — to get an idea of how and why numbers like $2 trillion and $3 trillion are being thrown around. I’m not saying it should be valued at 12-13x 2028E revenue (heck revenue multiples aren’t ideal) but it’s how you get to the valuations being reported. And 12-13x is in line with comps.

Now this is the problem with bubbles; you’re valuing things relative to other assets that may be also inflated.

Which is why the DCF it’s important. I personally will be looking to see what Aswath Damodaran (my favorite valuation guru) puts together when he does his analysis. But the problem with the DCF is there are SO MANY ASSUMPTIONS aka guesses. While it’s the valuation gold standard, there’s a saying: garbage in garbage out and there’s a lot of uncertainty. However, the process of building a DCF forces analysis of the business model, capex needs, projected cash flows etc.

Regardless, ultimately, pricing will be based on how investors decide to allocate capital and to them it’s: Anthropic vs. NVIDIA vs. OpenAI (post IPO) vs. other tech / AI names in their portfolio

Please not: since we created this video, we found out Anrhopic’s S-1 is likely coming out closer to October and the IPO itself will be closer to early November.

Ever since we incorporated hand drawn diagrams into our content, we've heard it all: "Your videos are AI" "You're ripping off another creator" "Slow down, this is moving too fast" The truth is it's this instead. We love finding new ways to share information with you in a way that jives with the way our brains work. We've been drawing together since we were 7 years old…over 35 years (don’t do the math), taking obsessive notes in engineering & organic chemistry classes in college, diagramming yield curves on the back of napkins for new analysts since before the Global Financial Crisis, and doodling on projector screens while teaching new hire analysts & associates at Blackstone and Goldman Sachs since before Instagram was invented. If you're new here, welcome! We love making complex concepts across finance, business, and tech easier to understand. Drawing is just one of those ways. And we do it all ourselves. 🥂

This Wednesday's Fed decision might be the most important market moving event of the year. But when you hear “the market’s pricing in a 68% chance of a Fed rate hike”…do you know how anyone’s actually coming up with that number? Or how to judge whether the odds should be higher or lower for yourself? There are trillions of dollars of risk riding on this one outcome, and if you want to understand the simple math, we've got you covered in less than 3 minutes on one sheet of paper (as always)!

And yes, it’s all hand drawn; none of this is AI.
