Summary

Compute king, but gravity is real
Platform strength endures as AI spend broadens to networks and software. Upside remains, yet today’s scale and valuation temper 2030 gains.

Analysis

Thesis
The default AI compute and networking stack keeps compounding into a platform (CUDA/NIMs + Blackwell/GB200 + Spectrum/Quantum) with energy and sovereign buildouts, but sheer size caps upside to a disciplined 1.5–2.0× by 2030 unless software/compute-as-a-service inflects.
Last Economy Alignment
Owns attention-era compute rails; network capital with hyperscalers/sovereigns; flywheel reinvests cash into models/GPUs/energy.

Growth Outlook

Average Implied Multiple (to 2030)
1.8x (from 4 most recent periods)
Reasoning
Dominance persists as AI infra expands, but share moderates and mix shifts to systems/networking/software. Even with strong execution, today’s size and premium compress upside; platformization can still drive ~1.6× EV by 2030.

Risk Assessment

Overall Risk Summary
Key swings: China licensing, hyperscaler capex cadence, AI Ethernet vs. InfiniBand standards, HBM/packaging capacity, grid power and siting, and rising custom silicon. Any stumble hits a premium multiple.
