$NVDA data centre revenue delivered a record of US$51.2 billion in Q3 FY26. This represents robust growth of 66% YoY and 25% QoQ as compute demand keeps accelerating.

Interesting, this short case on $META and $GOOG from Chamath Palihapitiya didn't pan out. They're up about 3x and 4x respectively since then (about 5 years ago). Nevertheless, it is always good to spend proper time on the short case to keep your investment thesis in check.

$ORCL morphing into the 4th Hyperscaler? $ORCL's quarterly Capex ($12B) is catching up with the hyperscalers. Now 60% of $MSFT capex, half of $GOOG. Over 90% of the Fortune 500 use their database, so they're well positioned to enable enterprise AI.
