    The AI Boom Isn't Over: 3 Stocks You Need to Watch

    In this episode of Being Exponential, Luke Lango breaks down five stocks sitting at major turning points across AI, semiconductors, aerospace, and consumer markets. We dive into Qualcomm (QCOM), Broadcom (AVGO), and Marvell (MRVL) as competition heats up in custom AI silicon. With hyperscalers increasingly developing chips specifically for their own AI workloads, could custom silicon represent the next major phase of the AI trade—and which company is best positioned to win? Luke also discusses Howmet Aerospace (HWM) and whether continued strength in aerospace and defense creates another buying opportunity, before turning to Lululemon (LULU) and the big question facing investors after its massive decline: is the growth story permanently broken, or is this becoming a compelling turnaround opportunity? We break down the opportunities, risks, valuations, and catalysts Luke is watching—and which of these stocks he believes have the most upside from here.

    Why Your AI Stocks Aren't Moving (It's Not The Fundamentals)

    In this episode of Being Exponential, Luke Lango tackles one of the most frustrating questions in the market right now: Why are AI stocks still stuck? The fundamentals certainly don’t look broken. AI revenues are growing, backlogs are expanding, hyperscalers continue pouring money into infrastructure, and Nvidia just delivered another monster report. Yet the broader AI trade has spent months struggling to produce a sustainable breakout. Luke argues the explanation may have less to do with AI itself and more to do with liquidity, the Federal Reserve, and a rapidly changing bond market. Recent analysis shows G10 excess liquidity has fallen sharply and turned negative around the beginning of this summer's choppy period.  We break down how excess liquidity is being squeezed, why that can prevent valuation multiples from expanding even while earnings continue growing, and how the Fed's fight against inflation could be keeping the pressure on growth stocks. Meanwhile, Treasury yields remain elevated—the Fed's latest published data had the 10-year near 4.8% and the 30-year above 5.2%—raising both the discount rate on future earnings and the cost of financing the enormous AI infrastructure buildout.  Luke explains what investors should be watching in the bond market, including whether the 10-year can sustainably move back below key levels, what falling yields would actually be telling us, and why the reason yields fall could be just as important as the decline itself. With governments and AI hyperscalers simultaneously competing for enormous amounts of capital, the bond market could ultimately hold the key to when liquidity conditions finally improve.  Finally, we discuss the best course of action while we wait. Instead of trying to predict the exact day the next rally begins, Luke lays out how investors can navigate the sideways market, follow earnings and fundamentals rather than short-term price action, identify the strongest companies in the AI ecosystem, and position themselves for the moment liquidity returns and the next AI breakout begins.

    Is Your Portfolio Ready for the AI Power Crisis?

    In this episode of Being Exponential, Luke Lango looks beyond Nvidia to find where money is flowing next across the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure trade. We break down Dell (DELL) and the enormous demand for AI servers, along with Credo Technology (CRDO) and its role in solving the connectivity and networking bottlenecks created by increasingly massive AI clusters. Then we move further down the AI stack to what could become an even bigger constraint: power. Luke discusses Fervo Energy (FRVO), FuelCell Energy (FCEL), and Eos Energy (EOSE) and the growing opportunity surrounding geothermal energy, behind-the-meter generation, energy storage, and the enormous electricity requirements of next-generation data centers. With AI compute demand continuing to accelerate, the question for investors is changing from “Who makes the chips?” to “Who provides everything needed to actually run them?” Could the next wave of AI winners come from servers, networking, power generation, and energy storage rather than the semiconductor names that dominated the first phase of the boom? SEO Keywords: DELL Stock, CRDO Stock, FRVO Stock, FCEL Stock, EOSE Stock, AI Stocks, AI Infrastructure, Data Center Stocks, Energy Stocks, AI Power, Credo Technology, Dell Technologies, Fervo Energy, FuelCell Energy, Eos Energy, Nvidia, Artificial Intelligence, Tech Stocks, Investing

    The AI Boom vs Local Backlash: What Investors Need to Know And One Trade for Both

    In this episode of Being Exponential, Luke Lango tackles a new risk emerging for the AI trade: the growing populist backlash against data centers. Opposition is quickly becoming a bipartisan issue as communities push back over higher electricity bills, massive power demand, water usage, land development, noise, tax incentives, and the relatively small number of permanent jobs some facilities create. Recent polling found 61% of Americans oppose new data centers in their own communities, while dozens of jurisdictions have adopted or considered moratoriums. Luke breaks down whether this could become a legitimate bottleneck for the AI infrastructure boom. Local opposition reportedly delayed or canceled at least 75 projects worth roughly $130 billion in Q1 2026 alone, raising an important question for investors: what happens when the constraint on AI compute isn't chips or electricity—but permission to build? But every bottleneck can create an investment opportunity. We explore the potential ways to play a more constrained data-center environment—from behind-the-meter power and energy infrastructure to more efficient compute, cooling, networking and locations capable of supporting hyperscale development. Texas's recent pause on new grid connections, for example, specifically exempts projects bringing their own on-site generation. Is the anti-data-center movement becoming a real threat to Nvidia, hyperscalers and AI infrastructure stocks, or will it ultimately accelerate investment into the technologies needed to solve AI's power and infrastructure problems?

    NVIDIA's Blowout Earnings: What It Means for the AI Economy and What to Buy

    In this episode of Being Exponential, Luke Lango breaks down Nvidia’s latest blockbuster earnings and what they tell us about the health of the broader AI trade. Nvidia delivered $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue, including a massive $89 billion from Data Center, while guiding to approximately $108 billion next quarter—another major signal that AI infrastructure demand remains extremely strong.  But the bigger opportunity may be outside of Nvidia itself. Luke discusses which sectors could benefit most from the next stage of the AI buildout, including memory, optical networking, NeoClouds, data centers, power infrastructure, and the broader semiconductor supply chain. Nvidia also confirmed Vera Rubin is ramping into full production across partners including CoreWeave, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Oracle and Nebius.  Finally, we tackle the risks. Can AI spending continue growing at this pace? Could supply constraints, massive capital commitments, custom silicon, China exposure, or questions around AI profitability eventually challenge the bull case? Nvidia's results suggest the AI boom is alive and well—but investors still need to know where the biggest opportunities and vulnerabilities lie.

    How to Take Advantage of the $2 Trillion Anthropic IPO

    In this episode of Being Exponential, Luke Lango breaks down the biggest forces moving markets right now—from surging Treasury yields and Federal Reserve policy to the debate over AI profitability, Anthropic’s highly anticipated IPO, and Bitcoin. First, Luke dives into the bond market, where long-term Treasury yields have surged to levels not seen in nearly two decades. We discuss what rising yields mean for stocks, why the long end of the yield curve matters so much for growth companies, and whether the Fed, inflation, government debt, and AI-related borrowing could keep rates higher for longer. Then we tackle one of the biggest questions facing the AI trade: Where are the profits? As hyperscalers pour billions into data centers and compute, Luke examines whether AI monetization can grow quickly enough to justify the massive infrastructure boom—and which parts of the AI ecosystem could ultimately capture the most value. We also look ahead to the potential Anthropic IPO, which could become one of the biggest AI listings ever and put the economics of frontier AI under Wall Street’s microscope. With enormous growth expectations already embedded in private-market valuations, profitability and future revenue could become just as important as technological leadership. Finally, Luke turns to Bitcoin, examining how higher Treasury yields, liquidity, institutional flows, and changing expectations for interest rates could shape the next move in crypto. Bitcoin recently surged back above $72,000 as falling yields, a weaker dollar, ETF inflows, and short liquidations helped fuel a sharp rally.
