  • Oracle sits underneath a stunning amount of the world’s data and has become one of the more important landlords of AI computing infrastructure. The demand for its cloud has been remarkable. That strength is also why we trimmed the position modestly, harvesting some of a strong run to fund ideas where we saw more room ahead.

  • June 2026
    Meta’s success doesn’t depend on the success of one specific large language model. Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to adapt the business as technology evolves. Whether AI ultimately creates value through proprietary models, open-source innovation or embedded applications, Meta has multiple ways to benefit. To us, that’s an attractive way to gain AI exposure. We do not think Meta requires one specific AI outcome to succeed, and neither does our investment. Oracle, which we touched on briefly last quarter, is another example.
    Oracle Corporation
  • Today, few companies are making ROI-based decisions on AI spending. Many are investing aggressively because they do not want to risk falling behind (FOMO). At times, the spending appears haphazard, as evidenced by large companies paying bonuses based on higher token usage. The result is a capital expenditure (capex) sprint that, by any historical measure, is extraordinary. The five largest cloud and AI infrastructure giants (Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle) are projected to spend over $725 billion on capex in 2026 alone,

  • Oracle Oracle detracted from performance in the second quarter amid a broader reversal in software sentiment, as investors continued to question SaaS durability and pricing power in an AI-native world following the "SaaSpocalypse" scare earlier in the year.

  • Trading activity The hardest decision in investing is selling a winner while it is still winning. We made it eight times this quarter: alongside SK Hynix, Applied Materials and Ciena, we sold GE Vernova, Keyence, Lasertec, Oracle and Constellation Energy, positions whose share prices, in our view, now fully reflect the theses that earned them their place.

    We exited our position as investors became concerned about rising capital spending/debt issuance as Oracle is again issuing more debt to fund its data center buildout - contrary to our buy thesis.

  • Portfolio Activity In Q2 2026, we initiated new positions in GE Aerospace, GE Vernova, Howmet Aerospace, Hermès International, Keyence, and Rheinmetall while selling our holdings in Boston Scientific, Siemens Healthineers, and Zoetis. During the period we also added to our positions in ASML and Idexx Labs and trimmed our positions in Starbucks, Oracle, Shopify, Aon and Broadcom.

  • Over July, these fears have only grown as hyperscaler capex expectations continued to move higher. Expected FY26 capex by Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Oracle combined has risen from around $536bn in December to $784bn by July, an increase of almost 50% in just seven months.

  • On the debt side, a similar pattern has emerged. Companies like Meta, Alphabet, and Oracle, none of which had issued much debt in recent years, have all turned to bond markets to help fund AI capital expenditure. Meta priced a $30 billion bond deal in October, its largest in years, while Oracle has been the most aggressive borrower of the group, raising $43 billion in debt over the past year with more planned.

  • Hyperscaler capex The current capex cycle is clearly intertwined with a sharp increase in semiconductor demand, and we believe continued hyperscaler spending is a key indicator that the AI infrastructure build-out is still underway. This spending is effectively funding the next phase of the data centre build-out. As hyperscalers scale both training and, increasingly, inference workloads, their willingness to keep lifting capex expectations supports the view that this semiconductor cycle could prove longer lasting and more structurally driven than previous upcycles. In each earnings cycle, the major hyperscalers have generally revised capex guidance higher and the direction of travel is striking. Expected FY26 hyperscaler capex has risen from around $298bn in December 2024 to $758bn by the end of the second quarter this year, more than doubling as Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta and Oracle continue to commit capital to AI compute capacity.

    June 2026
    The AI Boom: From Buildout to Monetization The AI spending cycle continued to accelerate in the first half of 2026. Hyperscaler cloud capital expenditure has been growing at roughly 90% year-over-year, and the aggregate run rate is now approaching figures that dwarf every comparable infrastructure buildout in American economic history.1,2 What distinguishes this period from earlier phases of AI enthusiasm is evidence that the spending is generating revenue. The cloud RPO — remaining performance obligation, essentially the contracted future revenue backlog — for AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle crossed $2 trillion in the first quarter of 2026, up approximately 175% year-over-year.

SAP counts 98 of the Fortune 100 as customers, with approximately 70% of revenue derived from large enterprises.

  • Not surprisingly, we’re seeing huge fundraising efforts by tech giants to take advantage of the optimism of investors. Massive IPOs either completed or on tap from AI darlings like Space Exploration Technologies, Open AI and Anthropic, plus chunky secondary stock and/or debt offerings from Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Oracle and others may eventually drain what has been a very deep pool of investor liquidity.

    It is clear that there is a fuzzy vision for an AI strategy at Meta, but the lack of leadership and execution has left it permanently behind in the race. That is likely why the firm is starting to pivot from its position as AI developer to hyperscaler. In yet another indirect omission of failure, rumors this week that Meta is exploring building a cloud business to rival the likes of Microsoft, Oracle and Amazon (Article).

    The Meta Investment Reckoning: Meta is at it again. After squandering approximately -$80B on the metaverse, the firm is parlaying that failure by once again squandering money on AI. This time the stakes are reaching new highs. In 2026, AI related capital expenditures are expected to reach approximately $125– 145 billion, yet there is no verifiable evidence that any of this spend is yielding results. In fact, there is mounting and damning evidence to the contrary. Meta’s Llama frontier AI models are not at the frontier of the AI race (AI Leaderboard) and external adoption has been extremely disappointing for shareholders fronting the multi hundred-billion-dollar bill. Even Meta’s own employees do not use the models that they create! In a somewhat confusing and embarrassing sign, Meta, which is supposedly creating the best AI models in the world, was recently told by Google that it would be restricting its prolific use of its AI model, Gemini (Article). This must be the most damning evidence for a corporate failure possibly in American history, even Meta does not use its own models. That said if you need more to chew on look at the never- ending reports of internal turmoil coming out of the company (Article). It is clear that there is a fuzzy vision for an AI strategy at Meta, but the lack of leadership and execution has left it permanently behind in the race. That is likely why the firm is starting to pivot from its position as AI developer to hyperscaler. In yet another indirect omission of failure, rumors this week that Meta is exploring building a cloud business to rival the likes of Microsoft, Oracle and Amazon (Article).
