0:00

the AI bubble. We would be in quite the

0:02

[music] recession if it were not for AI.

0:04

I think AI completely saved the stock

0:07

market. It's kind of like Paul investing

0:09

$100 in John, who invests $100 in Bob,

0:12

who invests $100 in Paul.

0:14

>> The AI bubble popping. You might have

0:16

been watching your stocks today and

0:17

wondering [music] that

0:18

>> the threat of a bubble.

0:19

>> An AI bubble burst.

0:21

>> Reality check could be coming for AI

0:23

valuations. [music]

0:24

>> Another day of tech. What if I told you

0:26

a $25 trillion debt bubble was about to

0:29

burst? And even worse that every

0:31

investor in the world owns these stocks.

0:33

>> A massive artificial intelligence

0:35

company just released a memo in the

0:38

background for nobody to see that

0:41

suggests they face near certain

0:43

insolveny unless they get bailed out

0:46

from other players in the AI space. In

0:49

this video, we're going to break down

0:51

exactly what was just revealed in this

0:53

filing. We're going to talk about the

0:55

circular nature of artificial

0:57

intelligence, which we've talked about

0:58

before, but we're going to update it

1:00

with this filing that was just released.

1:04

We're also going to link it to what's

1:06

going on with Nvidia. Nvidia just

1:08

announced massively more efficient

1:11

Reuben chips. And we also have a lot to

1:14

say about the high bandwidth memory

1:16

cycle which is related to Reuben but

1:19

also makes the very problem about

1:22

potential AI insolveny

1:24

worse. Then we'll finish by talking

1:27

about what just happened with Elon Musk

1:31

because he told us that one thing was

1:33

false and it only turned out to be

1:36

substantially more true than he let on.

1:40

[laughter] We'll talk about all of it in

1:41

this video. So hey everyone, me Kevin

1:43

here. First things first, we got to

1:45

analyze the cycle. The coreweave cycle.

1:48

Yes, Coreweave just released an 8K and

1:51

Coreweave is really interesting because

1:53

as we know Coreweave, much like other AI

1:56

data center plays, whether it's iron,

1:57

NBS, Oracle, whatever we know that

2:00

companies like Cororeweave receive

2:02

investor money, money from people who,

2:05

you know, want to make money from

2:06

artificial intelligence. Coreweave goes

2:08

and buys artificial intelligence chips

2:10

like Nvidia chips or CPUs from AMD or

2:14

otherwise uh which of course are reliant

2:17

heavily even more so now thanks to an

2:20

increase in inference demand in high

2:22

bandwidth memory and then of course time

2:24

goes on because everybody knows

2:27

construction and a clock are basically

2:29

synonymous because it always takes

2:30

longer than we expect. Then we get data

2:32

centers and hopefully eventually we get

2:34

money and then hopefully eventually we

2:36

could repeat the cycle. This is, you

2:38

know, kind of just a happy data center

2:40

cycle. It really shouldn't even be

2:42

called the corewave cycle, but there's a

2:44

little bit of a problem. See, this chart

2:46

right here is the chart of Oracle's

2:49

credit default swaps, which a lot of

2:52

people track Oracle because they see it

2:54

as a safer version of Coreeave. And so,

2:58

if Oracle is sneezing, then Cororeweave

3:02

must really be having problems. But

3:04

anyway, back when we had this spike over

3:06

here in the price of credit default

3:08

swaps, basically insurance against the

3:10

collapse of Oracle, we were at the

3:12

highest level since 2008. Those have

3:15

since spiked up to about 155, settling

3:18

down into the low 140s, but then

3:21

recently ticking up again. And I suspect

3:23

they'll tick up even more tomorrow. Why?

3:26

Because of a filing that just came out

3:28

from Coree. And it's not my favorite

3:31

kind of filing. These AKs from

3:34

Cororeweave are pretty glorious at

3:36

telling us that there's probably a fire

3:38

cooking somewhere and nobody wants to

3:40

talk about it right now. Everybody's

3:42

just closing doors around the house and

3:43

like, "Well, no smoking here. What are

3:45

you talking about? We're good.

3:47

[laughter]

3:48

We're not good." Okay, so take a look at

3:49

this entry into a material definitive

3:52

agreement. Basically, coreweave here is

3:54

telling you, "Hey y'all, we got some

3:57

debt. Uh we might have a lot of debt.

3:59

our in fact our weighted you know

4:01

average interest is somewhere around

4:02

10%. So we spend a massive amount of

4:05

money on interest. We'll actually go

4:06

through the financials in just a moment.

4:08

Uh and we just want to let everybody

4:10

know that this this new set of debt that

4:12

we entered into in the summer of 2025

4:15

called our DT [music] uh or DDTL oo 30

4:19

credit agreement uh is actually now

4:21

being revised. And here's how we're

4:23

revising that agreement. So we got

4:25

together with all these different banks

4:27

including MUFG and US banks and we

4:30

decided that you know what we're going

4:32

to actually reduce and change a few

4:34

things. The first thing that we're going

4:35

to do is we're going to reduce the

4:37

minimum cash that we need to or are

4:40

required to have on hand to just $100

4:42

million. In other words, we need the

4:45

cash for other things. You'll see in

4:47

just a moment what those other things

4:48

are, but they're basically saying we

4:50

need some more cash. Now, they're

4:52

arguing that this is just to sort of

4:54

align with the timing of deliveries

4:56

because there have been some

4:57

construction delays. But what's

5:00

interesting is we actually go a little

5:01

deeper here. We're also now going to

5:03

postpone the initial testing date of the

5:07

DSCR, which is basically a ratio that

5:09

says, "Hey, like how much money are you

5:11

guys making compared to how much debt

5:13

you have?" And the banks are basically

5:15

saying, "Hey, you know what? Um, we're

5:18

just going to go monkey no evil until

5:20

Halloween of 2027. Okay, we just don't

5:24

even want to look at the financials. So,

5:26

here's another 18 months. Go f off.

5:28

Please just keep paying the bills.

5:30

Please, please. We'll we trust you, bro.

5:32

That's essentially what the banks are

5:34

saying here on billions of dollars, mind

5:36

you. Uh, got to keep the Ponzi going

5:38

somehow. But anyway, then they're also

5:40

going to postpone their initial testing.

5:43

So, like, hey, you know, before we go

5:44

like do a deep dive on these numbers,

5:46

can we just like see how many of your

5:48

contracts you're actually fulfilling?

5:50

So, rather than dividing like total

5:52

revenue and and debt into each other to

5:54

get a DSCR, they're going, "Hey, uh, how

5:56

how many of your contracts are actually

5:58

working out?" And the bankers are

6:01

basically saying, "Uh, yeah, you know

6:04

what? Before we even take a look at your

6:05

contracts, why don't we delay that to

6:08

February [clears throat]

6:08

28th? We're just going to close our eyes

6:10

on that one, too." And if for whatever

6:14

reason uh we end up looking on February

6:17

28th and if for whatever reason you all

6:19

still suck and you all still can't get

6:22

your act together,

6:24

you know, we'll just we'll just turn a

6:27

blind eye to any equity partner giving

6:29

you guys a money injection. And if they

6:31

inject money, we'll just say monkeys see

6:33

no evil. That's that's just what we'll

6:35

say, folks. They literally wrote it.

6:38

They wrote it right here. The First

6:40

Amendment also permits, you can't make

6:42

this up, an unlimited number of equity

6:44

cures for any failure to satisfy the

6:47

debt service coverage ratio and contract

6:49

realization ratio covenants prior to

6:52

October 2026.

6:54

[laughter] So, in other words, as long

6:56

as Daddy Jensen Hong from Nvidia comes

6:59

around and gives you a bailout, we don't

7:01

give 2 F that you're violating the

7:04

covenants of the billions of dollars of

7:06

debt we lent you cuz Daddy Jensen's

7:08

bailing you out. in doing this to some

7:11

extent some people actually look at this

7:12

with a really bearish lens and they're

7:14

like oh my gosh even the bankers realize

7:17

if they don't put up the sort of balloon

7:19

and like hey Jensen can you get ready to

7:21

bail us out the bankers might not care

7:24

[laughter]

7:25

that's but that's a jaded view you know

7:27

why do we want to be really jaded about

7:28

an unlimited right to cure violations in

7:31

your loan terms you know that it'd be

7:33

crazy to be jaded about that I mean come

7:34

on Nvidia has basically agreed to buy

7:37

6.3 billion dollar of Cororeweave's

7:41

unused data center capacity. So like if

7:44

if Nvidia has this agreement to buy $6.3

7:47

billion of unused data center capacity,

7:48

which Core has already asked Nvidia to

7:51

do by the way on some of their unused

7:52

data center capacity, which is odd

7:54

because it's sort of like how does

7:55

Cororeef have unused data center

7:57

capacity and they're still building a

7:58

bunch. More on what they're building in

7:59

just a moment. Uh spoiler alert, like

8:01

30% of their assets are not even built

8:03

yet. That's a lot of money. That's like

8:06

$6.9 billion of money. that's just sort

8:08

of like in the construction process

8:09

that's not going anywhere. But but yeah,

8:11

I mean like to actually get Nvidia to

8:13

fulfill the rest of the purchases,

8:15

Cororeef has to finish building. See,

8:18

that's all has to do with this material

8:20

services agreement which I have on the

8:22

screenshot right here. This is the

8:23

agreement uh an agreement that was made

8:26

on April 10th for an initial value of

8:28

$6.3 billion. It's basically Nvidia

8:31

guaranteeing that they'll buy unused

8:33

compute from Coree to try to help get

8:35

Coree a head start. So, Daddy Jensen's

8:37

already bailing them out on one hand

8:40

once the stuff is built, but now the

8:43

bankers are basically saying, "Hey, uh,

8:44

we know Daddy Jensen's going to bail you

8:46

out once your stuff is built. Can you

8:48

also get Daddy Jensen to maybe like

8:50

start hinting that he might have to bail

8:52

you out before the stuff is built cuz

8:54

you guys are falling behind?"

8:57

Yeah, that's not good. Now, now I know a

8:59

lot of us are like, "Bar Kevin, SanDisk

9:02

and and Micron are going to the moon."

9:04

Correct. They are. and their numbers are

9:06

great. We've done a lot of analysis on

9:08

them in the Meet Kevin membership. You

9:09

could see that in the stocks tab in the

9:11

courses. Uh we did a analysis on Bloom

9:14

Energy this morning as well, which was

9:16

phenomenal. They've actually got a

9:17

really good balance sheet. This is it.

9:18

And you know, when you jump in over on

9:20

the right side, you can see all of our

9:21

different analysis, whether it's on uh

9:23

Coreweave or we did SanDisk or Micron or

9:26

whatever. I mean, Sandis frankly has a

9:28

fortress fortress balance sheet and

9:30

massive cash flow. But more on them in

9:32

just a moment. Like I I know people like

9:33

Kevin Kevin, how how could this be bad?

9:35

Like memory is is doing so well. Okay,

9:38

spoiler alert. There's there's something

9:41

called a cycle and it is all built out

9:45

via innings. I'm going to explain all of

9:48

this on the screen in just a moment, but

9:51

I'll I'll point out exactly where we are

9:54

and how this works in just a moment. But

9:57

first, we have to understand the actual

9:59

numbers at Coref because I want you to

10:03

actually see what they're facing. See,

10:06

versus what they're telling us. Coref is

10:08

telling us, guys, everything is fine.

10:11

I'm going to pull it up here. We're only

10:13

blaming the weather. In their last

10:15

earnings call, if you went through their

10:16

last earnings call, you'd see that

10:17

they're just blaming the weather. It

10:19

rained a lot in Texas. And because of

10:22

that, here we go. We got a roughly, you

10:24

know, heavy rains and winds caused a

10:26

roughly 60-day delay in a city north of

10:29

Dallas, preventing contractors from

10:31

pouring concrete. So, hey, come on,

10:33

guys. We just need a little bit more

10:35

time and everything will be fine. That's

10:38

the idea here. As Cory was trying to

10:39

tell us, everything's fine. But when we

10:41

actually look at their financials, we

10:42

start facing,

10:44

let's just say, some red flags. So,

10:47

first that we should look at right here

10:49

is their cash flow statement. And what

10:51

we're going to find is that their free

10:53

cash flow is $1.6 billion per quarter.

10:58

If you subtract this out and divide it

10:59

by three, you get the quarterly number

11:00

since it's 9month. Basically, we are

11:03

bleeding $500 million every single

11:08

month. $500 million every month. 4.75

11:12

billion over 9 months. And these are

11:13

based on September financials. Now, if

11:16

you actually subtract out depreciation

11:18

off of this, you'd be losing another

11:21

$167

11:23

million per month. So, we're blowing a

11:26

lot of freaking money here. Obviously,

11:29

the cash flow situation sucks. But where

11:32

do we sit in a debt situation? Well,

11:34

that doesn't look good either. See, when

11:36

we look at their cash flows, we can see

11:38

that they've raised $7.5 billion of

11:42

debt. And their repayments are somewhere

11:44

around 2.9. So, so their net borrowings

11:48

here were just about $4.75 or so, which

11:51

happens to be exactly what they need

11:52

over a 9-month period. So, they're

11:54

borrowing because they need to. And then

11:55

they had IPO proceeds in there as well.

11:58

Fine, great. But what's the problem

12:00

here? The problem is, to me, it's really

12:02

a gamble on steroids. You know, it's not

12:04

like house hack in my opinion. This is

12:06

simple real estate where you're buying

12:07

homes like we don't have any debt on our

12:09

houses or our land or whatever because

12:11

we got a little land we're developing as

12:12

well. We're not buying homes on 30-year

12:15

mortgages even, right? But let's say we

12:17

were let's say we were buying houses in

12:18

desirable areas people could buy up and

12:20

live in and then rent out, right? Like

12:22

so we buy them, we fix them up, rent

12:24

them out, people live in them. Great.

12:25

30-year mortgage sustainable debt,

12:26

right? They're buying chips in a desert.

12:30

They're not even able to rent them out

12:32

right now because 30% of their assets

12:34

are sitting unused and they're not using

12:36

30-year fixed rate mortgages. They're

12:39

using very short-term debt. In fact,

12:42

$1.667

12:44

billion that they owe is due right here

12:47

in just $2.25 years. It's weird to say

12:50

that March of 2028 is only in 2 and a/4

12:53

years, but they have a 15% loan due in

12:56

March of 2028 at $1.6 billion. They got

12:59

another $5 billion right here due in

13:02

August of 2023. These are massive

13:04

numbers. That's just in four and a half

13:06

years. And they have to pay off all $14

13:09

billion of their debt in a 5-year

13:11

window. Their blended rate, their

13:13

blended interest rate is 10%.

13:17

So, no wonder they're blowing money.

13:21

This is a problem. Now, how much cash do

13:24

they actually have to be able to pay

13:26

this debt? And this is where you should

13:28

get nervous. So just like signpost for a

13:30

moment, Cororeweave is saying, "Daddy

13:32

Jensen, please bail us out. We have a

13:34

problem or we're going to." And they're

13:37

going to their bankers because they're

13:38

out of freaking money. They're

13:39

insolvent. Okay. Now, I just showed you

13:42

all the debt they have, how they're

13:43

financing more debt because they're

13:45

spending all this money and they got a

13:48

lot of debt coming due within the next 5

13:50

years. Okay. This is all going to, by

13:52

the way, relate to XAI, Jensen's Reuben

13:55

chips, and high bandwidth memory. All

13:56

right, we got to build. We got to

13:58

explain this all properly. People are

13:59

like, "Kevin, why can't you do this in a

14:02

twominut short video?" And I'm like,

14:03

"I'm sorry. I It's It's dense. It's a

14:07

lot." But when you look at the actual

14:09

facts, you're like, "Damn, I understand

14:11

why it takes a hot minute to explain it

14:13

all, cuz otherwise I'LL FALL ASLEEP. I

14:14

NEED SOMEBODY TO WAKE ME UP WHILE WE

14:16

TALK ABOUT THIS CRAP." BUT IT'S ALSO

14:18

really interesting. I mean, at least in

14:19

my opinion. I don't know, maybe I'm just

14:20

nerding out about this, but let's look

14:22

at their balance sheet, right? So, they

14:23

got a lot of bills to pay. We know that.

14:25

But the question is, how much money do

14:27

they have over the next year? I mean, I

14:29

started the video out by saying they're

14:31

essentially insolvent within the next 7

14:33

months. Why would I say that? Ah, okay.

14:37

Well, let's just use their own financial

14:39

filings to show you why I would say

14:40

that. Please, Cororeweave, don't sue me,

14:42

bro. So, current liabilities,

14:46

bills that they have on their desk. So

14:48

on their desk right now, they have bills

14:50

that they have to pay of $7.9 billion.

14:54

Okay? So imagine you had, you know, I'll

14:56

just use millions for an example.

14:57

Imagine you had $7.9 million sitting on

15:00

your desk right now in bills. And then I

15:02

told you you have another $10 million,

15:04

in their case, $10 billion of debt to

15:06

pay over, you know, the next five years.

15:08

Okay? You'd probably be like, "Oh my

15:10

gosh, Kevin, [laughter]

15:11

dude, what did I get myself into?" A and

15:14

then of course the the follow-up would

15:16

be like, "But Kevin, how much cash do I

15:18

got?" You know, if I if I got to pay

15:20

$7.9 billion or million dollars in my

15:22

case of debt, you know, how much cash do

15:25

I got to pay it all? I I can probably

15:26

pay it all with cash, right? No.

15:29

No.

15:30

>> No. [laughter]

15:31

Uh they only have $3.5 billion of cash

15:35

and accounts receivable. That's assuming

15:38

they get paid. Okay. assuming they

15:41

actually get paid on all their

15:42

receivables, which a lot of these

15:44

companies are delaying when they're

15:45

paying Coreweave, just part of the

15:48

agreements like Microsoft and all these

15:50

companies. They they get to negotiate

15:51

longer payment windows. So hopefully

15:54

that cash shows up for Cororeef. I was

15:56

generous and I assumed that they have

15:59

$3.5 billion of cash by adding those two

16:01

things together. And restricted cash is

16:03

really cash that's already spent likely

16:04

on new products and stuff, right? So

16:07

basically, if they're burning 500

16:09

million per month and they have or 500

16:13

Yeah. 500 million per month and they

16:14

have 3.5 billion of cash, they first of

16:17

all only have about 50 cents on the

16:19

dollar of all the bills that they have

16:21

to pay. That's a problem. You're way

16:23

upside down. You're sweating bullets.

16:26

And if I divide out 3.5 billion of cash

16:29

by their cash flow, you know that 500

16:31

mil burn, I've got seven months. That

16:34

means by April, given that this is a

16:36

September filing, by April, I'm out of

16:38

money. Well, here we are in January

16:41

begging the banks to not look at our

16:45

numbers and please enable Daddy Jensen

16:48

to bail us out. Like this, this novel is

16:51

writing itself. They are freaking

16:52

bankrupt basically. They're insolvent. I

16:54

shouldn't say they're bankrupt. They're

16:55

insolvent right now. Now, what could

16:58

make it worse or better? I mean, isn't

16:59

it good that we have new chips from, you

17:01

know, Jensen, Daddy Jensen coming out?

17:04

No. That could actually make it worse.

17:06

I'm going to explain that in just a

17:08

moment. It gets ridiculous here. But,

17:09

but first, understand that this is a

17:12

company as well that has about 35% of

17:16

their business, I said 30% earlier, it's

17:18

actually about 35% of their business

17:20

sitting idle. Now, why? Well, because a

17:23

lot of this is sitting as construction

17:26

in progress. of that they have about

17:29

$2.5 billion in acred purchases, part of

17:32

their their expenses, their liabilities,

17:33

right? But they just haven't been able

17:35

to turn on yet. So people say, "Oh,

17:37

magically as soon as they turn this 35%

17:39

of the business on, they'll make a

17:41

oodles and boodles and oodles of money."

17:44

But the problem with that is if you look

17:46

at the business and you actually take

17:49

the depreciation expenses, they don't

17:52

make money and they spend way more money

17:54

even when you add that depreciation back

17:57

in. The cash flow statement shows us

17:59

that because the cash flow statement

18:01

already adjusts for net income. So if

18:03

you jump over here, you take that net

18:05

loss of $715 million, add back in

18:09

depreciation, and then you go, "Oh,

18:11

great. They actually got 1.5 billion in

18:14

cash. Yeah, but they're spending 6.2. So

18:16

even if you get that next 35% up and

18:19

running and you go, you know, increase

18:21

your revenues by 35%. So maybe add, I

18:24

don't know, another another chunk of

18:25

revenue here. Even if you doubled that,

18:27

even if you doubled the net cash

18:29

provided by operating activities, they'd

18:30

still be upside down and they'd still

18:33

have massive debts coming due within the

18:34

next 5 years. They still have massive

18:36

debt obligations due in the next year

18:38

and a half, which is exactly why the

18:40

bankers are like, "Oh my gosh, we have

18:42

to not only bail out their revenues,

18:44

which Nvidia is already doing. We have

18:46

to bail them out during the construction

18:47

phase because they're literally

18:49

complaining about heavy rains and winds

18:52

delaying their projects, which might be

18:54

true, but everybody knows construction

18:57

gets delayed. The only people who

18:59

about it are people who got themselves

19:01

too deep into their eyeballs in debt and

19:04

they have no choice but to complain

19:06

about it to beg other people and point

19:07

the finger at other people. Okay. All

19:10

right. Enough of that for a moment.

19:12

Let's understand one last thing about

19:15

their financials and then let's get into

19:17

the future here. So the last thing I

19:19

want to show you about their financials

19:21

is just how much money every single

19:22

month goes to interest of their interest

19:25

expense in a quarter. They've got about

19:28

$310 million net going to interest,

19:30

which means a hundred million dollars,

19:32

more than a million dollars every single

19:34

day are going to debt, which sucks. So,

19:40

what's the big bet here? The bet here is

19:42

obvious. Get the servers online.

19:44

Everything will be fine. We're just

19:46

doing this paperwork to cushy over this

19:49

big cash liquidity squeeze we have.

19:52

Hence, this credit default swipe spike

19:54

that we've had. credit default swap

19:58

spike there. Let's get the words right.

20:00

Okay, that's why we've had this big

20:02

spike over at Oracle. You're seeing

20:04

similar things at Core as well. I'm

20:06

using Oracle just to show what's called

20:08

contagion. When all of a sudden you have

20:10

an issue at Coreweave, that contagion

20:13

shows up at Oracle as well because

20:14

Oracle is trying to compete with

20:15

Cororeweave. And if Corwe is going to go

20:17

bust, you're going to liquidate a lot of

20:20

those assets at bargain basement prices,

20:22

which then lowers potentially the actual

20:24

asset value of those chips at companies

20:26

like Iron and Bis and Oracle. Hence,

20:30

Contagion. Now, how is Daddy Jensen

20:34

already trying to bail out the cycle?

20:36

And what are these new chips that he's

20:38

been talking about?

20:40

Well, it turns out XAI just raised a

20:43

series E fund raise of $20 billion.

20:48

Now, why this is very interesting is

20:50

because when there were rumors about the

20:53

Elon Musk raising $15 billion and

20:56

everybody's like, "Oh, they must be out

20:58

of money." Elon Musk says, "Oh, that's

21:01

false."

21:02

But that's usually what he does. In

21:04

fact, I talked about it on the channel.

21:06

I go, Elon's going to say it's false and

21:09

then he's going to come out and be like,

21:11

uh, it was actually $16 billion. So,

21:14

[laughter] so jokes's on you. We

21:17

actually needed more money. [laughter]

21:19

And, and then it's like, wait, but who's

21:21

the joke actually on? Because Reuters

21:24

was correct. You were raising money.

21:26

Elon denied it was a $10 billion round.

21:29

Elon denied it was a $15 billion round.

21:32

And now they're cheering going,

21:35

[laughter] "Guys, everybody thought we

21:38

were raising 15. We actually managed to

21:40

raise $20 million and we were able to do

21:43

it with with Nvidia as a strategic

21:45

investor." Ah, yes, the famous Nvidia

21:49

strategic investor. Yes, this is how

21:53

venture capital and private equity

21:54

markets work. Okay, what people do is

21:57

you get somebody like imagine this.

21:59

Okay, imagine imagine Kathy Wood bestows

22:03

her holy arms uh on and wings on House

22:08

Hack and says, "I'm joining the board

22:10

and I will take a position in the

22:12

company." Doesn't disclose how much it

22:14

is just like Nvidia and then we're going

22:15

to raise money at $10 a share, you know,

22:19

10x what we raised money at previously

22:21

cuz Kathy is the strategic investor. And

22:24

then everybody's like, "Kathy has a

22:25

5year time horizon. Let's get in." You

22:28

know, it's kind of like that except it's

22:30

Nvidia as a strategic investor. Now,

22:31

don't get me wrong, I love Kathy. You

22:33

know, this isn't to make fun of Kathy.

22:35

I'm just saying you take a big name and

22:38

you anchor their name with a higher

22:41

round and that's how companies get

22:45

valuations that grow and grow and grow

22:46

and grow. You just get strategic

22:48

investors. So, what does that enable?

22:52

Well, Elon Musk, we know, is burning

22:55

cash hand over fist. And so remember the

22:58

beginning of the core reef cycle, it's

23:00

exactly the same for XA. They're

23:04

expected to burn $1 13 billion this

23:06

year. So really what they did is they

23:08

just fundraised. Well, that was actually

23:10

last year because we're in 26 now. So

23:12

$13 billion last year that might grow

23:14

this year, how much they actually burn.

23:16

And so what they really did is they just

23:18

financed enough burn for this year. So

23:20

they have enough money to get through

23:21

this year, right? But remember the

23:23

beginning of the cycle. I want you to

23:25

remember how this cycle works and then

23:27

we're going to show you the innings of

23:29

the AI wave. All right, so here's how

23:32

this works. The way this works is

23:34

investors put money in. Okay, that could

23:38

be you buying Core Weef stock or NBIS or

23:40

Oracle or or Core or whatever you want,

23:43

right? That's you buying stock. That's

23:45

you know senior retired seniors and

23:48

their hedge funds or whatever throwing

23:50

money into this XAI round because

23:52

everything Elon touches turns to gold.

23:53

So, you know, throwing money in. As long

23:55

as that money keeps coming in, we can

23:57

keep buying Nvidia chips and we can keep

24:00

buying HBM. Time passes, the data

24:02

centers eventually get built and then

24:04

hopefully we get money out in the

24:06

application layer. That's how the cycle

24:08

works. Now, remember the unlimited

24:11

equity cures part. All of this works and

24:15

Nvidia will probably keep bailing out

24:17

Coreweave

24:18

at some point. no guarantee that they

24:20

will as long as money keeps coming into

24:23

the cycle. So as long as the cycle keeps

24:25

going, Nvidia has the capacity to bail

24:28

out cororeweave. As soon as Nvidia

24:30

doesn't bail out cororeweave, the

24:32

bankers tighten the covenants,

24:33

cororeweave goes bankrupt, chip prices

24:36

collapse, memory prices collapse, data

24:38

center values collapse, and money stops

24:41

coming in. The cycle stops very quickly.

24:43

Okay, we already know that. It's just

24:45

we're starting to see some early warning

24:46

signs. Oh, is this like so bearish that

24:49

you have to go run out and sell

24:50

everything? Well, no. Because see, high

24:53

bandwidth memory is technically now sold

24:55

out through 2026.

24:58

Now, why is high bandwidth memory so

25:01

incredible? Well, a lot of it has to do

25:03

with our current needs for inference.

25:06

And that's where Nvidia has this like

25:08

gorgeous video right here where they

25:10

showcase what's inside of these racks.

25:12

Each of these being a little drawer. And

25:15

inside you see the various different

25:17

component chips. And all of these

25:19

various different component chips carry

25:22

what? Memory. See memory. DDR5. Look at

25:28

that. M juicy memory. That's just the

25:30

CPU, right? What about the GPU? We're

25:34

going to have memory over here. See,

25:35

there it is. High bandwidth memory four,

25:39

right? Uh

25:41

every chip. So when they make these

25:43

chips, we need high bandwidth memory.

25:46

Now who's buying all this memory? A lot

25:48

of it being the hyperscalers, Microsoft,

25:50

Meta, Amazon, Google, and obviously now

25:52

Elon's XAI. So we're obviously not at

25:55

peak cycle because people keep buying

25:57

these chips,

25:59

but we are somewhere on a cycle. And see

26:03

rising high bandwidth memory costs,

26:06

which are really good for companies like

26:10

uh uh what do we got here? SanDisk, you

26:12

know, when this is when we went through

26:13

their financials. We go through

26:14

fundamental analysis like every single

26:16

day in the course member liveream.

26:18

Remember, you can get lifetime access by

26:20

going to meet kekev.com and getting that

26:22

lifetime access uh to to this

26:24

fundamental analysis we do every single

26:26

day. And even if you don't watch it, you

26:28

could just click on our little tabs and

26:29

look at my analysis that I've done. And

26:31

I add to it every day the market is

26:33

open. But look at this good cash balance

26:36

sheet. Look at these numbers over here.

26:38

29.7%

26:40

margins. Revenues growing 22%. But

26:43

listen to this. Their operating income

26:46

uh is four times the annualized Q3 EPS

26:50

expectations. So they're exploding right

26:54

now relative to what Wall Street even

26:56

understands. Uh it's remarkable. Now

27:00

they've gotten a little bit puffy. Okay.

27:02

At 210, they were about 10% below what I

27:06

thought would be a fair value for a high

27:10

bandwidth memory company like Sandis.

27:11

The thing is because of these sellout

27:14

announcements, they actually moon way

27:16

past that. Why? Because of momentum. So

27:21

now we've gone to the point where we're,

27:23

you know, we're certainly overvalued.

27:25

We're trading at a three peg now, which

27:27

is a bit more expensive than where it

27:29

should be. should probably be somewhere

27:31

around 15 20% lower. So there will be

27:34

better entries in the future for stocks

27:37

like this. And you know we did that

27:38

analysis all the way back uh I mean at

27:41

this point it was like months ago. But

27:43

what matters now is where do we sit in

27:46

the broader cycle? Because remember

27:49

rising HBM costs isn't actually great

27:52

for the entire cycle. Why? Because it

27:56

reduces margins at AI companies. you

27:59

know, the margins that are already tight

28:01

on even uh coreweave installations or

28:04

Oracle installations get even more tight

28:06

when HBM memory goes to the moon in

28:08

terms of pricing. And that's where I

28:11

introduce what I call the AI capex

28:14

cycle. Okay, AI capex cycle. And where

28:18

do we sit today? Well, let's analyze

28:21

this together. So, my opinion is that

28:24

and I think we all agree this all

28:25

started with the GPT moment. Okay,

28:28

that's a basic one. That's like the

28:30

first inning of the cycle. Then we get

28:33

this infrastructure explosion.

28:36

Where we tend to start curving out is

28:40

usually in high bandwidth memory. High

28:43

bandwidth memory is a lagging indicator.

28:45

It is the last phase of the cycle to

28:47

tend to bubble. That's why we're seeing

28:49

the bubbling now. Now, that doesn't mean

28:52

we're at the end. We're at game over

28:53

stage. In fact, I would argue we're

28:56

probably over here at like maybe here,

28:59

the seventh inning. So, that means

29:02

there's still some room to go in this AI

29:05

capex movement. You know, JP Morgan says

29:07

the biggest mistake somebody could make

29:09

right now is sitting out the AI boom

29:12

that's coming, not being worried about

29:14

the bubble. Maybe they're right. Maybe

29:17

they're just shilling their book. I

29:19

don't know. But what always happens in

29:22

history is that capital expenditures

29:24

plummet and there's an infrastructure

29:26

crash once we get to an over supply

29:29

that's going to take out a lot of

29:31

companies in the application level as

29:33

well because if this happens the red

29:36

line happens we'll see some kind of

29:38

recessionary hit simultaneously which

29:40

will take out a lot of unprofitable

29:42

technology companies. This is normal.

29:46

Now that debris will actually pave the

29:49

way for the artificial intelligence

29:51

survivors to actually start making

29:54

money. And now you stop allocating money

29:57

to all the junk companies and you

29:59

allocate money to the survivors. That's

30:02

the long-term future that we really all

30:05

benefit from. And I believe that the AI

30:07

application era is actually still right

30:10

here. were really early innings like

30:13

maybe second inning of that application

30:16

level. Now Nvidia and Jensen suggests

30:20

right now that we are seeing such

30:24

massive benefits in Reuben technology.

30:27

He just had a big presser at CES where

30:30

he talks about Reubin should reduce the

30:32

cost of tokens by 10x. But I want you to

30:37

think about that for a moment. If you

30:39

reduce the cost of tokens by 10x, who

30:43

does that actually cost money, right?

30:46

Like, who loses on that bet? Well, it's

30:50

probably Coreweave. Now, I'm not saying

30:53

this because I've got like a bare

30:55

position on Coreweave. I don't have a

30:57

bare position on Coree. I don't really

30:59

care. Like, if you're in Coree, I'm not

31:01

trying to dump on Cororeweave. Okay. The

31:03

point is Reuben chips that cost 10x less

31:09

per uh chip basically or per token

31:11

rather and need four times fewer GPUs to

31:16

train parts of models. This is per

31:18

Jensen. What you're really doing is

31:20

you're saying all of that money that you

31:22

just spent on capex up here at this top

31:25

of the cycle may have been wasted on

31:27

those older chips because the next

31:29

generation chips are going to kick your

31:31

butt. Notice how even after that seventh

31:34

inning though, because remember if I

31:35

think we're right here at the seventh

31:37

inning, you still have HBM that's going

31:40

to keep going and memeing for a hot

31:42

minute probably because these Reubens

31:44

are going to need a lot of high

31:45

bandwidth memory. But the point is more

31:48

chip innovation is actually mega

31:50

deflationary for rental rates from

31:53

Coree. This is why Nvidia can actually

31:57

laugh its way to the bank.

32:00

any lowering of energy costs or

32:03

increases in efficiency make Nvidia sell

32:06

more chips even to people they've

32:08

already sold chips to because they're

32:10

like, "Hey, why are you using those old

32:13

chips? They're costing you more money.

32:15

You may as well use these new chips that

32:17

we have." So really, Nvidia is like

32:20

saying, "Hey, get with the program here.

32:23

Buy all the new junk and you too will be

32:26

good." Okay, great. That's really bad

32:30

though for again Cororeweave because if

32:33

Cororeweave invested in all the H100s or

32:36

early Blackwell chips, well then you got

32:38

some big problems. You got some big

32:40

pooper dupers coming and nobody wants a

32:42

big poopy dupy. Now, the hope is that

32:46

LLMs and AI keep progressing and as a

32:49

result of the continued progress, we'll

32:51

continue to need even the old

32:54

technology, the 81 H100s or older chips

32:57

that are still being used today. And

32:59

that's a great hope as long as investors

33:02

are patient with the profitability cycle

33:05

and obviously until we get to peak. So

33:07

my take, we're probably in the seventh

33:10

inning, late cycle of the LLM stage, but

33:13

we're actually quite early on the

33:15

application era. This is where I get

33:18

excited when Nvidia tells us they're

33:20

opensourcing Alpameo 1, their

33:23

self-driving thinking and reasoning

33:25

model. I actually think that their the

33:28

Nvidia FSD, I'm going to call it, just

33:30

full self-driving just to make it a

33:32

little bit more, you know, palatable or

33:34

understandable or comparable to Tesla

33:35

here. I actually think it is their most

33:37

undervalued asset. I actually think that

33:40

almost alone once they transition from

33:43

89% of their revenues is coming from

33:45

GPUs, but instead they start moving to

33:47

like full self-driving licensing or

33:49

whatever, especially since they they

33:51

take in all sorts of traditional

33:53

sensors, LAR sensors as well as vision

33:55

based sensors. The fact that their

33:57

models consolidate all of that, I think

33:59

makes them one of the most or makes this

34:00

one of the most underappreciated assets

34:02

at Nvidia. And so I actually think not

34:05

only is Nvidia playing the

34:06

infrastructure buildout game, but

34:08

they're playing the application era. Now

34:11

that's exactly why in my opinion they

34:14

bought Grock, not to be confused with

34:16

Grock, you know, the Twitter or X AI

34:18

bot, but rather the language processing

34:21

unit model company. That company that

34:24

makes or designs those chips is now

34:26

bought by has been bought by Nvidia for

34:28

or you know roughly licensed out for $20

34:30

billion. It's technically not a complete

34:31

buyout, but it's practically that. Uh we

34:33

made a separate video on that. But

34:35

anyway, Nvidia is riding both of these

34:37

curves. Nvidia will be a survivor when

34:41

this crash comes. We all know that capex

34:43

plummet is coming. It's a red flag where

34:45

Coreweave is showing us, you know, where

34:48

things sit right now. I mean, Amazon's

34:50

seeing it as well. People at Amazon are

34:51

complaining that Amazon relies on

34:53

anthropic LLMs too much and they should

34:54

have their own proprietary LLMs. But I

34:56

think that's because Amazon knows you

34:58

don't want to blow all your money on

35:00

LLMs because they're going to be a

35:01

commodity. And as soon as this cycle

35:03

peaks out, it's the actual productive

35:06

productive uses of AI that are going to

35:08

make people real money. Now, what's my

35:11

bias in all of this? Just to be clear,

35:13

because I don't have like calls or

35:14

shorts on like Nvidia or Coreweave or

35:17

whatever. My biases in all of this is I

35:20

am seeing the real profits from our

35:23

application layer. Now, we just raised

35:25

over $10 million for our startup in just

35:28

the last 3 weeks, which is insane the

35:30

amount of that's come in because, you

35:32

know, people want to invest in that next

35:34

cycle. Like these were our fundrais

35:36

stats for the last, you know, threeish

35:38

months here. And, uh, you could see it

35:41

on screen here. 14 October, 1 17

35:43

November. About 99% of this is, uh,

35:45

fundraising. Uh, then we announced the

35:47

closing of the fund raise uh, in

35:50

December, which, you know, we're we're

35:52

still closing it out. like we we stopped

35:54

telling people it's open but but like

35:56

people applied even as of you know

35:58

December 31st and they have to get

36:00

approved by a broker dealer like there's

36:02

a lot of SEC compliance involved and

36:04

stuff so people are still getting their

36:06

approvement emails and that's how we've

36:08

gotten like $3.4 additional million

36:10

dollars coming in in January and what

36:12

we're doing is we're building on that

36:14

application layer which I think is the

36:16

future. I got to update the website

36:18

because, you know, this has already been

36:20

released. Uh we released this as

36:21

promised in December. But the app's

36:23

already out, which is great. And now

36:25

we're in the improvement phase and the

36:27

the new iteration phase, which is really

36:30

exciting. But people are buying this and

36:33

uh they're buying the lifetime access to

36:35

it, which everybody keeps telling me is

36:36

a bad idea, that I should be doing

36:38

monthly recurring revenue, but for now,

36:41

you can still get lifetime access to it.

36:43

Uh and you can get that at houseack.com

36:44

or reinvest.co. But that's my bias in it

36:47

is real estate SAS. You can read more

36:49

about it by going to houseack.com. I

36:51

think it's a net worth sniping tool. You

36:54

know, I did a video the other day where

36:56

I saw a deal that was like model match

36:58

listed for $500,000

37:01

less

37:03

uh than what a comp was listed for. Same

37:06

exact model. And I'm like, this is

37:10

incredible. You're literally sniping net

37:12

worth with this kind of AI. Now,

37:14

obviously, you got to go renovate it and

37:15

there's work to do and there's risk with

37:17

every investment, but we're very excited

37:20

about that application error because we

37:21

think even if AI gets no better than it

37:24

is today, the AI boom can keep going. I

37:27

just think it shifts away from that

37:29

hardware stack and goes straight into

37:32

software. That's my opinion. I'm just

37:34

being transparent about the journey. If

things that you told us here? I feel

37:45

like [music] nobody else knows about

37:46

this.

37:47

>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and

37:48

see how it goes.

37:49

>> Congratulations, man. You have done so

37:50

much. People love you. People look up to

37:52

you.

37:52

>> Kevin Pra there, financial analyst and

37:55

YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to

37:56

get your take.
