$SMCI awesome stuff $SPCX
@elonmusk A big congratulations to SpaceX’s greatest IPO and proud to co-build another new Gigawatt AI datacenter for @SpaceX and @XAI within a year! This will be our fastest TTO yet, and easily one of the biggest and most advanced datacenters in the world! Space is our big future! Thanks Elon! @Supermicro

These $SOC calls have both been nothing burgers. I think the entire point here was reminding everyone that the downside here is not $0. There could be mass 30% dilution to fund a potential pivot, but it eliminates the CA headache entirely. I think Jim was probably frustrated from

investor calls where the downside being discussed waz a donut, which is outside the realm of possibilities IMO. Pivot would stink short term but it opens up billions of cash flow over time.

Fully expect bad news on $SOC call based on history. Not sure what it could be that’s worse than a 35% debt deal, but expecting it to be whatever that is and will leave room for an upside surprise. It’s nothing on legal side, so gotta be the debt?

2 new positions today: $SMCI and $NNBR. I think $SMCI yday was a kneejerk on a hated company. This is good news for them on any conceivable metric. CFO confirmed none of the $39 billion were baked into estimates. This will lead to a step change function in estimates and, pending

order clarification, a potential multiple re-rate off a low base. $NNBR I’ve spent a ton of time on. I think it has a ton of similarities to $BELFB, which is a company I’ve become obsessed with studying. Compared to $BELFB, I see $NNBR similarities across: starting market caps /

Out of last $ADYEN $ADYEY slug today. Lost 14% on this one and was a quick trade unfortunately. Executive turnover during such a tumultuous period for payments broadly and Adyen specifically is what drove the decision, in addition to positive stablecoin developments elsewhere

This is why people like @ESGhound will never make money. They are afraid of taking risk. $SOC will generate $400m in EBITDA this year and over $1 billion in cumulative FCF through 2028. The sole risk here is not refinancing or getting debt on difficult terms, it’s the legal risk.
Replying to @ESGhound

I think $SOC trading lower on oil and tough debt terms. Legal update was positive.

$SOC we’re getting close here

Judge Wilson to CA: Are you trying to tell me that the CA Fire Marshal knows more than PHMSA? Judge Wilson was skeptical of California’s arguments.

Not sure this has gotten enough attention. $SOC will very clearly be deemed a key supplier to the California SPR, making eminent domain directly applicable and trumping all state and local law. This has been obvious to me for months, but hopefully becomes more obvious to others

Who has this $ADYEN report? Just a reiteration of the bear case or are these guys committing fraud? Brutal fall from grace

$SOC …. and you don’t think this gets done?
California is the poster child of expensive energy policies—gas $2 higher than the national average, reliance on foreign oil imports, aggressive ‘clean energy’ taxes on every gallon at the pump.   That’s not the result of any global crisis, it’s the result of bad energy policies.

And anon still doesn’t think $SOC “just figures it out” despite Secretaries Wright, Burgum, and Duffy choppering to the platform this week? You really think they do all this just for equity to get wiped and Flores to lose interest in this? Markets are missing something obvious
BREAKING: 🇺🇸 The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is less than 10 days away from falling to its lowest level since August 1983- a level not seen since the SPR's initial fill-up that began in 1977- per Petroleum Analyst Patrick De Haan.

I wonder why it took multiple calls with the DOE for $SOC to determine they weren’t eligible for a loan. Strange stuff IMO. Let’s see what 6/8 holds, which I imagine is a significant day for the refi. Still think this gets done, though on more onerous terms than from DOE

Fed to offer $SOC “operational support as opposed to financial support.” $SOC doesn’t quality for federal support because of significant cash flow profile over coming decades. Flores does not come across as nervous regarding the refi. Burgum and Duffy onsite this week.

Still not exactly sure what the point of this all was. Holding out hope that there’s at least one more nugget on the 11am call. 3 weeks now on refi … $SOC
$SOC presentation not the golden bullet we had hoped for. Nothing negative, and positives include oil volumes above expectations and confirmation of debt for debt refi, but hopefully more to come on conference call

If $ADYEY $ADYEN was a US stock I would buy this dip. They would come out with a PR, clear up any misconceptions that are spooking markets, and provide a mid-quarter print on volume growth and expected sales. Reality is that Euro mgmt teams seemingly care less about this stuff
