Futurum Equities Podcast

(Hosted by Shay Boloor and Daniel Newman)

We’re not here to recap headlines. We’re here to unpack how Nvidia’s architecture is reshaping data centers. How AI agents will disrupt every enterprise. The markets are about to get harder. AI is about to explode and chance the world. The next five years will break most of the frameworks people have used for the last decade. That’s exactly why we’re doing this. Because if you want to survive this next cycle, you need to understand how real tech scales and how money moves around it. The Futurum Equities podcast is committed to deliver Insights from the Inside with each and every episode.

NVIDIA Guided 70% Growth. Its CFO Says It Could Double With Supply. | Ep 54
NVIDIA guided fiscal 2028 to 70% revenue growth against a street at 44%, and CFO Colette Kress says even that number is capped by supply, with demand running closer to 100%. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor spend episode 54 on the NVDA print that took out two bear theses at once, Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole debut, and the week Shay sold IREN with the power thesis still intact. The guys open on the print: a top line beat near $4 billion that sold off until the fiscal 2028 guide landed, roughly $40 billion of the $89 billion data center quarter now coming from outside the hyperscalers, and AWS ordering about 2 million more GPUs even while it builds its own silicon. The one crack is margins, guided to 74% on memory inflation. Then the mood flips to IREN: one of the worst conference calls of the year, a deal the company legally cannot announce, and a capex raise well above what Nebius spends. Daniel is holding for what he thinks is underneath it. Shay sold his position on corporate governance while conceding the power thesis has only gotten stronger. On Jackson Hole, neither host believes a Trump appointed chair raises rates, but a higher floor pushed money toward quality. The software conversation runs through Dario Amodei's televised concession, the SaaSaPalooza, and CrowdStrike raising its ARR growth guide to 34% on AI security demand. The Q&A covers Shay's beach stock rule, Rocket Lab and AST SpaceMobile after the SpaceX IPO, why nobody undercuts Nebius while power stays the bottleneck, memory stocks priced as cyclical, and the Marvell print Shay left more bullish than he entered.

Anthropic IPOs in October. The only frontier AI stock for a year. | Ep. 53
Anthropic put an October IPO on the table, and the neo clouds sold off hard into the news. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor spend episode 53 on the narrow window where Anthropic can be the only public frontier AI stock, the margin test NVIDIA faces next week, and the Marvell warrant deal the market read backwards. The guys open on the data center politics souring the AI narrative into the midterms, then get into the week's headline: Anthropic closed a 39 point pervasion gap on OpenAI in 12 months per the ETR data and crossed over, while the early Q3 read shows OpenAI re-accelerating and Codex pervasion doubling in a quarter. Shay's read is a scarcity window, since OpenAI can't list until 2027. The catch is capital absorption: a raise that could approach $100 billion has to be funded from somewhere, and the obvious source is the AI proxies. On NVIDIA, the counter to the peak capex thesis is Vera Rubin holding 75% gross margins, SpaceX growing from roughly 4% of revenue toward 10% by the end of next year, and token margins climbing toward an expected 90% on Feynman while paid token demand runs up 7x this year. Marvell gets the correction segment: 7% dilution over 6.5 years against $120 billion of Google spend, roughly ten years of run rate from one customer. The Q&A covers OpenAI's consumer monetization, Coherent's December CPO ramp, Cipher at $15, the 70% anti data center poll, and Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole.

Memory is a 5 to 10 year constraint. The 2030 guides just proved it. | Ep. 52
A prominent memory bull flipped short term bearish over the weekend, and Sandisk answered with an investor day that guides to 80% gross margins out to 2030. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor spend episode 52 on the memory wall, the week the GPU depreciation bear case broke, and Futurum's new $12.7 trillion AI capex number. The guys open on why Daniel calls memory a 5 to 10 year constraint and why the memory wall can't be engineered around fast enough to dent the trade. Sandisk's investor day gets the full treatment: mid to high teens growth guided through fiscal 2030, 80% non GAAP gross margins, free cash flow at 50% of revenue, and KV cache reaching 35% of AI data center NAND workloads by 2030. Then the neo clouds: CoreWeave's five year A100 contracts on six year old silicon, the $400 million of annualized non GPU business, and Nebius's first Blackwell capacity auction clearing 15% above its own best pricing with all of 2027 bookable at those levels. Plus Applied Materials' record sequential quarter, Shay's new Vertiv and ON Semiconductor positions for AI power, and the Q&A: the humanoid robotics SPAC red flag, the best AI energy stock, Aehr after a 15x run, AppLovin's binary Q3, Cipher's messy quarter, Credo against Astera Labs, and how Burry and Cramer keep getting the AI trade wrong.

SpaceX Guided to $260B by 2029. Shay Bought the Lockup Fear. | Ep. 51
TITLE: Ep 51: SpaceX Guided to $260B by 2029. Shay Bought the Lockup Fear. DESCRIPTION: SpaceX just delivered its first earnings report as a public company, and the number nobody modeled stole the whole show. Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor spend episode 51 on the print, the lockup everyone was selling ahead of, and why a weak jobs report has the entire AI trade breathing again. The guys go deep on SpaceX: 92% growth in an AI cloud business that was never supposed to exist at this scale, a revenue path from $44 billion this year toward $260 billion by 2029, and the math behind Shay buying the lockup fear at $109 to $110 before the print. From there it's Palantir's rerating with net dollar retention at 157% and roughly $6 billion of US commercial contract value closed, Daniel calling the end of the SaaS apocalypse, AMD's conservative guide and the Helios rack scale ramp, the no rate hike case under Kevin Warsh after a weak jobs Friday, Shay's new Vertiv position for AI power exposure, Micron over SK Hynix on HBM, and the reveal that Shay sold every share of his Tesla on a SpaceX merger theory. The Q&A covers Daniel's put selling playbook, the Oscar Health case study, T1 Energy and EOS Energy, and who wins when models get cheap.

Google grew cloud 82% and still got sold. Where the money went | Ep. 50
Episode 50 lands in a strange tape. Google grew its cloud business 82% and the stock got sold anyway, and Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor spend the show on what that selling actually means for everyone holding the AI trade. The guys go deep on Alphabet's print: a $25 billion cloud quarter growing 82% with 36% operating margins, a $15 billion capex raise, and the earnings math behind Shay's call that Google is "a great business, bad investment" until EPS clears $20 again in 2029. Nvidia at 18x earnings gets the other side of that trade. From there it's the $11.7 trillion cumulative AI capex bull case through 2030, TSMC raising capex $8 billion in a quarter while flagging a bigger 2027, Intel's blowout on server CPU pricing and Shay's rule that INTC has to prove an external foundry customer to earn its price above $100, Tesla converting record deliveries into a 1% operating margin, Micron and the HBM demand curve the market keeps mispricing, and IREN's $2.8 billion AI cloud contract with roughly half the GPU capex prepaid by customers. Plus SpaceX lockup math and entry levels, Meta at 18x with Shay's $1,200 thesis, and Jensen Huang joining X mid show. The back half is all viewer Q&A: ServiceNow as the benchmark for AI software, Shay's tier one and tier two software framework, whether Meta is the best Mag 7 buy right now, IREN position sizing, and the drone bucket ahead of the Anduril IPO.

META flipped $145B of CapEx into a new business overnight. | Ep 48
PLTR, MU, META compute leasing, and the software bounce: Shay added to Palantir in the $115 range as Alex Carp's CNBC interview reframed the proprietary data moat, and every Future 15 software pick turned green in the same week. This episode covers why the application and data layer sits above frontier model companies as the durable AI winner, what META leasing 500 megawatts of excess GPU capacity actually means for neo clouds like NBIS and CRWV, and why the hosts think that sell-off was overdone. Futurum's price target on MU sits at $155 with street highs above $200. MSFT announced a $2.5B forward-deployed AI joint venture. AWS raised GPU rental prices 20%. OpenAI giving 5% equity to the US government gets called out as pure IPO valuation mechanics, not patriotism. The memory trade, physical AI sensing plays, and the AI CapEx prisoner's dilemma all get full treatment in the back half. Tickers covered: PLTR, MU, META, MSFT, NVDA, SNOW, NOW, CRM, ADBE, ORCL, NBIS, CIFR, WULF, CRWV, ASTS, AXON, AMBA, AVAV, KTOS, ACHR, JOBY

Fed broke the rate narrative. NVDA and AI capex face a new math | Ep 46
Daniel Newman and Shay Boloor are live on The Futurum Equities Podcast, breaking down how and why the Fed just handed the market a regime change disguised as a hold. If you're running any AI or tech exposure right now you need to understand what actually happened. The Fed kept rates at 3.5% to 3.75%, but that's the least interesting part of the decision. The dot plot median shifted to 3.8% year-end, nine of eighteen officials are now projecting a 2026 hike, and the cutting-bias language got stripped from the statement entirely. The 2-year Treasury confirmed it immediately, jumping 14 basis points to 4.153%. That's the bond market telling you this is structural. For NVDA, MSFT, META, GOOGL, AMZN, and PLTR, which are all priced on multi-year earnings streams, a higher discount rate compresses multiples even when the fundamentals don't change. Daniel and Shay will pressure-test each name against that reality. The hyperscaler capex commitments are also load-bearing: META guided $125 to $145 billion, MSFT is at $120 billion-plus, AMZN is at $200 billion, and GOOGL is at $175 to $185 billion. That contracted demand flows through to NVDA's data-center segment regardless of where the 2-year goes.

Oracle's $638B backlog and SpaceX's index clock. What breaks next. | Ep 45.
SpaceX debuted at a $2T valuation, 4x oversubscribed, and the largest IPO in history. While the market chased the narrative, NVDA fell 15% from its May highs and ARM ran. Shay closed the ARM position and rotated into NVDA at roughly $200, targeting $300 on a 24-25x earnings multiple. That's the trade the episode is really about. We break down the SpaceX IPO valuation case, why Shay sees the entry as questionable despite loving the business, and what the proxy-chasing dynamic says about where the real AI infrastructure opportunity sits right now. Oracle's OCI transition gets a full breakdown too: a $638B backlog that is larger than Amazon, Microsoft, and Google combined, but mid-teens margins against hyperscaler margins of 30-50% that explain exactly why the market is skeptical on conversion. We close with rapid-fire coverage across drone defense, AI networking names including AVGO, MRVL, ANET, COHR, and CREDO, and the power infrastructure trade with GEV, VRT, Bloom Energy, and Shay's new position in FGNT near $50. Tickers covered: NVDA, ARM, ORCL, RKLB, ASTS, PLTR, SNOW, MDB, GOOGL, AVGO, MRVL, ANET, COHR, LUMN, CREDO, CSCO, HPE, VRT, GEV, BE, FGNT, MRCY, AVAV, KTOS, TSLA Disclaimer: This episode is for educational and informational purposes only.
