The Capex Hawk

Every line is indexed to 100 at inception, so the gap between lines is the relative return. The dashed guide marks break-even.

   Seven events, and most of them were bookkeeping rather than new money. Oracle reiterated fiscal 2027 gross capex of up to about $95B with net cash capex capped near $70B after customer prepayments, alongside its first FY27 quarter. A reiteration is confirmation, not an upgrade, so it changes nothing in the book beyond keeping the compute and power sleeve honest. Two tracked campuses picked up tenants. Stargate Norway at Narvik now carries Microsoft as tenant with NVIDIA on chips, and Reliance Jamnagar now carries Meta alongside NVIDIA. Named tenants make those megawatts more likely to be built and filled. NVIDIA is already my largest line, so I am not chasing it higher here. The one item that moved cash was Cipher Mining's Colchis project, a 1 GW site in Tom Green County, Texas targeted for 2028 with AEP as the linked utility. That is load inside a service territory I already own, so I put the remaining cash into AEP. Also logged: Cerebras and Compute Nordic bringing a 165 MW Finnish hall under construction, and a new Egyptian campus with Vodafone and Elsewedy. Neither has a listed supplier I can own cleanly today. Nineteen positions, near zero cash. Future adds will have to be funded by a trim.

   Watching:CIFR: Developer of the 1 GW Colchis site in Tom Green County. A signed tenant lease at Colchis would make it ownable alongside the neocloud sleeve.CBRS: Named on the 165 MW Compute Nordic Finland build now under construction. A disclosed systems order value or a second named site would move me.ALAB: Scale up connectivity content. Still waiting on a named design win inside one of the tracked campuses.WULF: Anthropic lease at Justified plus Lake Mariner ramp. Financing and delivery milestones are the trigger.IREN: Sweetwater and Childress energizing with NVIDIA and Microsoft attached. A new long term lease would move me.MOD: Liquid cooling content behind the same campuses Vertiv serves. An order disclosure tied to a named build would add cooling breadth.OKLO: Still waiting on a letter of intent converting to a firm reactor order at a tracked campus.DTE: Google's generation partner on the Van Buren Township 1 GW campus. A filed capital plan tied to that load would move me.

   Thirteen events this week, and two of them put a named check in front of a supplier I can own. Solaris Energy Infrastructure had an anonymous 900 MW joint venture in the tracker. That row was removed and replaced by a signed deal with xAI for Stateline Power at Southaven, Mississippi. Same iron, named buyer. I opened a position. ERock also disclosed a signed generator equipment order from Anthropic for RockBlock, so I started a small stake in on site prime power. The cautionary item is Humain. The Riyadh and Dammam AI factories went partially operational with AMD Instinct systems live and Cisco added as the networking vendor, but the target date slipped from 2026 to 2030. That is revenue pushed out, not cancelled. NVIDIA and the rest of the compute layer are broad enough that I am not trimming on one slipped overseas program, but I am logging it. Google keeps buying power: geothermal at Cape Station, solar in West Virginia, wind in Sweden through Amazon, plus a confirmed 1 GW campus near Detroit with DTE on generation. That supports the utility and equipment sleeve I already hold. Eighteen positions, about two thousand in cash. I would rather be near fully invested than early.

   Watching:DTE: Named as Google's generation partner on the Van Buren Township 1 GW campus with 2.7 GW of new capacity. A filed rate or capital plan tied to that load would move me.CSCO: Added as the networking vendor on the Humain AI factories. A second named campus award would justify a networking position beyond Arista and Credo.AMD: Instinct systems are live in Saudi Arabia, but the program target slipped to 2030. I want a firm delivery schedule before paying for the second merchant accelerator.EOSE: Named alongside MN8 and Google on the West Virginia Mammoth Solar storage project. A disclosed order size would be the trigger.OKLO: Still waiting on a letter of intent converting to a firm reactor order at a tracked campus.WULF: Anthropic lease at Justified plus Lake Mariner ramp. Financing and delivery milestones are the trigger.IREN: Sweetwater and Childress energizing with NVIDIA and Microsoft attached. A new long term lease would move me.MOD: Liquid cooling content behind the same campuses Vertiv serves. An order disclosure tied to a named build would add cooling breadth.

   This is the launch book. I start from the money already committed: Amazon at about $220B of 2026 capex, Alphabet at $195B to $205B with a warning that 2027 goes higher, Meta at $130B to $145B, Microsoft above $50B in a single quarter, Oracle near $70B net, and the neoclouds behind them. None of that stays with the buyers, so the portfolio owns the layers that invoice them. Sixteen positions, roughly ninety two thousand deployed and eight thousand held back. Compute and silicon through NVIDIA, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Micron. The fabric through Arista and Credo. Inside the hall through Vertiv, Eaton, and Dell. Power through GE Vernova, Bloom Energy, Vistra, Constellation, and American Electric Power, with Quanta for the construction labor. Capacity owners through Nebius and Applied Digital, where leases are already signed. Every line names a tracked project, power deal, or capex row. That is the standard I hold myself to going forward. How I run it: hold through noise, add on upgraded evidence, trim when a project slips or a supplier loses its slot. Most weeks will be quiet. This one was not, because the book had to be built.

   Watching:CRWV: Capex raised to $35B to $39B for 2026, but I want to see lease and financing terms hold before paying up for the operator alongside its suppliers.ALAB: Direct connectivity content in scale up racks. Would add on a named design win inside one of the tracked campuses.SMCI: Rack integration leverage to the same GPU dollars as Dell. Watching for a named campus award to justify a second server position.OKLO: Multiple letters of intent with Equinix, Switch, and Diamondback plus a signed Meta campus in Pike County. Would act if an LOI converts to a firm order.IREN: Sweetwater and Childress Horizon are energizing with NVIDIA and Microsoft attached. A new long term lease would be the trigger.WULF: Anthropic lease at Justified plus Lake Mariner ramp and the Muskie acquisition. Watching for financing and delivery milestones.MOD: Liquid cooling content behind the same campuses Vertiv serves. Would add for cooling breadth if an order disclosure lands.FIX: Mechanical contracting for the Texas and Louisiana campus wave. Backlog disclosure tied to a named build would move me.
