A fresh look at five names from the archive, plus a quick recap of the market backdrop. For each name, I cover what happened to the business while the stock moved, where the mispricing has widened, and whether I'm adding at current prices.
SEALSQ trades at $2.43, just 11% above its net cash, so you pay close to nothing for an $18M secure-chip business and get its post-quantum and quantum-computing story on top.
Fluence cut guidance twice in one year and still missed. The stock now trades under 1x FY2026 revenue with a record $5.6B backlog, two hyperscaler MSAs, and a spot in NVIDIA's AI factory reference design.
Enovix makes the "highest energy density smartphone battery ever independently tested" and already ships cells for smart eyewear and drones. But smartphone qualification is two years behind, continued burn and dilution are inevitable, and insiders have only sold.
A US manufacturer selling into AI memory/logic chips, photonics, and defense batteries is going public at a $1.2B valuation. It's backed by a $100M DOE grant, Samsung SDI building its factory, and a 2028 law banning the US military from buying Chinese battery cells.
China choked off tungsten, and the miners already ran 10x. The hardest input to secure is high-purity powder, and chipmakers are now switching to molybdenum. One overlooked American name is positioned for both.
A record $783M quarter, a first-ever buyback, and open-market buys from the CEO, COO, and a director, all built on the Alani Nu and Rockstar acquisitions. But flagship CELSIUS slowed to 6% and gross margin slipped to 48.3%
The only U.S. company producing two commercial-purity heavy rare earths from ore, the kind almost no one outside China can make. Both are critical to defense and the AI buildout, and the U.S. government just committed up to $725M to back it.
Reviva trades below its cash and just dropped to the OTC market, but it owns a schizophrenia drug that topped Caplyta's Phase 3 numbers, the kind big pharma buys for billions
An Australian neocloud signed more than $2.2B of five-year, take-or-pay GPU contracts against $1.6M of 2025 revenue. A short seller calls them phantom. Oaktree and NVIDIA are funding the buildout anyway
5x earnings, a 14.6% distribution yield, and net cash worth a third of the market cap. But each one leans on a bird-flu spike that's reversing
QXO loses money, dilutes every quarter, and just levered up for a $17B acquisition. It might still be the best operator bet on the market
Q1 revenue came in a third short of plan, but the contracted backlog hit ~$1.45B and the ARR target rose to $400M. From here, it's all deployment
The restaurant operating system is more profitable than ever and pushing into enterprise, retail, and AI agents, but a consumer pullback, rising memory-chip costs, and tougher competition have halved its multiple
Ambarella owns the edge AI layer NVIDIA doesn't touch and just turned profitable. The new $800M Hanwha LTA and 15+ robotics design wins (including humanoids) are still ahead
PowerBank's history is ugly and it operates just 35 MW of solar today, but its sites, permitting relationships, and a recent LOI open a real path into the AI buildout's bottleneck: power delivery
Record FY26 revenue, free cash flow, and engagement, but a FY27 guide that cut growth from 13% to 4% and a ~64% stock drop. AI Search monetization is management's answer
Boost Run's share structure post-merger, DigiPowerX's Q1 earnings and Cerebras IPO read-through, plus a comps valuation across 10 AI infrastructure operators
Record $36M net income and 47% ROE drive a first-ever buyback, but underlying combined ratios lag peers as premium book growth slowed to 2% y/y from 23%
Trust floor at ~$10.25 caps the downside at ~4%. Upside depends on conversion of a $300M qualified pipeline across GPU cloud, modular data centers, and HVDC power
Two pure-play tape stocks just caught the AI tailwind. Tape sales doubled q/q at one. The dilution math is the catch.
First AI customer signed April 20. Cash backs the downside. 99% of the 400MW capacity is still uncontracted. Base case puts per-share at +346% by FY 2027.
Magnetic tape is overlooked in the AI infra value chain, and within storage itself, even though tape is where archival data sits.
SPAC merger priced below every public GPU cloud peer, with a team that's built and sold this infrastructure before.
Solar demand, supply inelasticity, and China's export restrictions are tightening a market that's been in deficit for five years.
