Ok thanks.

Nvidia now hold approved Purchase Orders from China customers and intend to restart H200 production. Quote from Jensen Huang. Interesting as the company holds 400K chips in stock so one can only assume the orders are for more than this. Analysts expect teh Chinese market to be worth at least $25B so another nice earner which is not accounted for, presently.

.... and it's down nearly 30%! Another rubbish day in the markets.

Headline CPI(US) holds at +2.4% Y/Y in February, as expected. Solid gains today as a result

It's a pretty consistent pattern of late. Strong intra quarter and sell the news. The bottom line is the MSFT result was solid, circa 20% growth. I'm happy enough. The tech portfolio so far today is weathering the bumps well imo. And we sit at an all time high so a bit of volatility is manageable . Unlike some tech portfolios I know which are getting thumped One other thing-quality always comes back!

It was a Trig moment, calling Rodders 'AL'

Amazing! Can it continue....who knows! Out of interest, when do the formal summary sheets get updated? (The ones at https://www.intelligentmoney.com/portfolios#comp-livoaycf2)

Anyone who holds a portfolio and has questions can contact either myself and or Nik. Many have. Discussions around suitability are very individual specific due to goals, age, risk appetite and time to retirement/time to draw down.

Over 50% of the value of the company is AWS-maybe 65% AWS generates approx 28.7b and earns 10.5(quarter) Azure generates about 24.5b(less than AWS) but also earns 10.5b Similar money makers similar growth. Msft earns significantly more money overall-circa 50%+ more.

Thank you Nik. Perhaps you could propose giving the client the option to abandon the small change remaining in funds since it costs the company more to withdraw than the amounts themselves. This would help expedite the process. Frank

Oracle – Q3 FY2026 Earnings Call Highlights (Fiscal Q3) Overall performance Very strong quarter, beating expectations across the board. First quarter in more than 15 years where organic revenue and organic non-GAAP EPS both grew at 20%+ in USD. Business momentum is accelerating as Oracle shifts further from licences to recurring cloud revenue. Major strategic developments TikTok U.S. restructuring: U.S. data operations separated from ByteDance into a new independent company. Oracle holds 15% equity and a board seat. Existing technology-vendor revenue continues unchanged. Oracle will record its share of earnings from the investment starting in Q4 results. Capital raising: Plan to raise up to $50 billion in financing. $30 billion already raised via investment-grade bonds and mandatory convertible preferred stock. No further bond issuance expected in calendar 2026 beyond this programme. Cloud applications (SaaS) Oracle claims it has the fastest-growing and most complete cloud applications suite. Cloud applications revenue (constant currency) up 11%, reaching $16.1 billion annualised run-rate. Key product growth: Fusion ERP: +14% Fusion SCM: +15% Fusion HCM: +15% Fusion CX: +6% NetSuite: +11% Industry SaaS solutions: +19% Other points: Over 2,000 customers went live on Oracle cloud applications in the quarter. Implementation times are continuing to fall. Oracle won multiple deals against Workday and SAP. AI and the “SaaS death” narrative Management rejected the idea that AI will kill SaaS (“SaaSpocalypse”). Instead, Oracle says it is embedding AI directly into its applications. Over 1,000 AI agents already built into Fusion and industry apps. AI tools allow smaller engineering teams to deliver products faster. Two fastest-growing segments: Multicloud database revenue: +531% year-on-year AI infrastructure revenue: +243% year-on-year Multicloud strategy: Oracle database services now run across multiple clouds via partnerships with: Microsoft Google Amazon Region rollout: 33 regions live with Microsoft 14 with Google AWS growing from 2 regions to 8 in Q3, targeting 22 by Q4. AI infrastructure demand Demand for GPU and CPU capacity exceeds supply. Reflected in $553 billion remaining performance obligations (RPO). Oracle secured 10+ gigawatts of data-centre power capacity coming online over the next three years. Operational progress: Manufacturing sites tripled. Rack production up 4× in a year. Time from hardware delivery to revenue cut by 60%. Profitability AI infrastructure delivered 32% gross margin, above the company’s 30% guidance. Database services have much higher margins (60–80% range). Overall OCI margins expected to improve as scale increases. Sovereign cloud opportunity Growing demand for sovereign AI and sovereign cloud solutions globally. Oracle’s Alloy model allows customers or governments to run full OCI stacks in sovereign environments. Unlike competitors, Oracle says it can deploy the entire OCI platform and applications stack, not just limited edge services. AI database and enterprise data Enterprises increasingly want AI models applied to private data, rather than building their own large language models. Oracle’s AI Data Platform and AI Database aim to connect enterprise data (databases, lakes, applications) to leading AI models securely. Key message from leadership Oracle positions itself as an AI-driven full-stack enterprise platform combining: database cloud infrastructure (OCI) AI data platform SaaS applications. Management believes AI will expand Oracle’s role, enabling automation of entire industry ecosystems such as healthcare and finance.

The net income dip was partly due to higher income tax provisions. Guidance for Q1 2026: Revenue $53.5–$56.5 billion. Full-year 2026: Expenses $162–$169 billion; capex $115–$135 billion (heavy AI infrastructure focus).Commentary Highlights from Mark Zuckerberg- Zuckerberg focused on strong 2025 performance and accelerating AI in 2026:Overall Performance: "We had strong business performance in 2025. I'm looking forward to advancing personal superintelligence for people around the world in 2026." He noted ending 2025 with over 3.5 billion daily users across apps (more than 2 billion each on Facebook and WhatsApp; nearly that on Instagram), driven by record holiday demand and AI performance gains. AI Acceleration: Described 2026 as a year of "major AI acceleration." In 2025, Meta rebuilt AI foundations; now shipping new models and products. First models expected to be good, with rapid improvement throughout the year. Vision: "building personal superintelligence" — AI that understands users' personal context (history, interests, content, relationships) for uniquely personalised experiences. Agents are starting to work effectively, unlocking new products and transforming work. Integration and Future: Merging LLMs with recommendation systems for Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and ads. Current systems are "primitive" compared to future potential. Excited about upcoming launches but limited details (only six months into rebuild). AI as "the next big media format," evolving feeds to more immersive/interactive (video as stepping stone). Monetisation and Investments: Opportunities for Meta AI via subscriptions and advertising. Justified aggressive spending (capex up to $135 billion in 2026) to catch up in leading AI models after trailing in 2025. Focus: improving core products, accelerating business via AI, exploring new opportunities like Meta AI monetisation. VR/Horizon Worlds investments will pair with AI advances.

Of the $180B 2026 Capex, $110B will do towards racks scale build out, split roughly 50/50 GooG/GCP. I would estimate the following recipients of this cash pile. The clear winners being NVDA/AVGO [image: 1770287999075-screenshot-2026-02-05-at-10.39.28.png]

Thanks. I did yesterday. Will wait or try to call. Thanks

I keep a close eye on growth (and margin). There is no point investing in companies with falling growth, tempered with the fact as numbers get very large you can't keep growing at the same pace. However PEG is a critical metric for a mature business. I'd never pay over 2. A decade ago the gold standard was 1.0 and today the experts would have you believe anything less than 2 is a good proposition-i strongly disagree. Palantir has a PEG of 4-5 and it's interesting that their management and many analysts will point to high growth, high margins etc. But Nividia beats it on all those key metrics and yet has a PEG of 0.5. So if anyone wonders how this comes about, I don't blame you because it makes no sense to me either. We don't hold the stock and won't, for precisely this reason. It's a good business but imo its valuation is obscene. As expected it's gone nowhere, in fact those that purchased mid 2025 are flat, which is exactly what happens at extreme valuations. And if management made just one misstep the stock will be cut in half. I say this purely to articulate that valuation always needs a sense check, never get caught up in FOMO, there are some simple numbers anyone can look at to get a rough guide on relative value. And investing is all about risk and return. A stock with a very frothy valuation can certainly move much higher but when you buy it you are taking on much more risk relative to the gains you might make.

Great to hear Ron. That portfolio has been very productive. I’m very proud of it and very pleased for anyone who put their hard earned money into it.

Quick update: with thanks to Nik, I've effected all the movements suggested and am hoping that the new investments in IM will grow as bountifully as the last ones have done! Thanks chaps.

It mildly concerns me, tbh. Left hand, right hand, task ownership etc. I do appreciate Nik said the process was a bit “lumpy”, but it doesn’t fill us with confidence they will perform the transfer this FY 🫣 We remain hopeful!

ExIM, No problem, no intention of engaging but im not about to let intentional misinformation go unchecked.

@Adam-Kay said in Dashboard performance charts.: J, I wish you’d mentioned this a while ago. [image: 1740153593731-screen-shot-2025-02-21-at-15.56.38.png] Crumbs. That's not shabby.
