NVIDIA — dominant AI infrastructure platform with elite economics (gross 71%, op 60%, FCF $96.7B TTM, ROE 104%, net cash). Bought half-target (~4.4% NAV, 20 sh @ $215.21) on a fresh D long_strong flip (bars=4) with W long_strong and MoM only +2.98% — uniquely fresh setup vs the rest of T1 tech which is mature (bars 51+). Catalyst: AI capex cycle remains the dominant secular driver; Q1 datacenter revenue $46-68B trajectory, $40B in AI investments announced YTD, partnerships with Corning ($500M), IREN (5GW). Why now vs waiting: among T1 tech, NVDA is the only name combining (a) fresh trend, (b) reasonable valuation (fwd P/E 19.3 ≈ sector 18.8), (c) elite quality. Sized to half because earnings 2026-05-20 is binary — plan is to add to full target post-print if guidance confirms datacenter trajectory. Diversifies into AI-infra sleeve (vs cyber/auto-semi/insurance/E&P).
- Q1 2026 earnings 05-20 misses revenue or guides datacenter Q2 down
- Daily flips to short_strong while weekly also turns short
- Operating margin compresses below 55% on next 10-Q
- Watchlist drops NVDA on next quarterly fundamentals refresh
- Weekly RevL ($181.29) breaks decisively to the downside
