$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ The S&P 100 (largest stocks) A/D Line remains in a Bull Flag pattern unless it makes a lower low within the pattern. I continue to anticipate higher prices for the largest stocks going forward.
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ There's still this idea floating around that Meta is “burning cash” on AI capex and losing its free cash flow advantage. What stands out to me is how sticky that narrative is, even when the actual numbers keep proving otherwise. Free cash flow over the last four quarters: Q2’25: $9.0B Q3’25: $11.2B Q4’25: $14.8B Q1’26: $13.2B LTM: $48.3B Even with heavy AI infrastructure spend, this is still a serious cash-generating machine. Feels like the market is anchoring too much on CapEx headlines and not enough on what the business is actually producing underneath.
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Time for hedge funds and late retail investors to raise cash and get flushed out. I've owned Alphabet since 2016 and really don't care if the stock drops to $300 or lower. I believe it will reach new highs reasonably soon.
$Energy Vault Holdings, Inc.(NRGV)$ Maybe the volume at close is related to the deal between Meta and Crusoe Energy. This could end up being significant for us. Don't forget we are partnered with Crusoe in Texas. It might be worth sending a note to Energy Vault's investor relations to see if there's any involvement here through our partnership. Meta has signed agreements with Crusoe for about 1.6GW of AI compute capacity across data center campuses in Texas and Missouri. The deal adds to Meta's growing AI infrastructure footprint as it scales training and inference capacity.
No one gets hurt long-term by owning high-quality, cash-flowing large caps. In fact, most wealth is built exactly here—staying positioned through cycles, not chasing noise. My core mega-cap compounding basket: $Micron Technology(MU)$ - Memory cycle leverage with an AI-driven demand tailwind. Volatility is the entry fee. $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ - Cloud, ads, and AI infrastructure scale. A quiet compounding machine when sentiment cools. $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ - The global foundry backbone. Every AI chip roadmap runs through here. $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ - Lithography monopoly. A structura
META is down 12.67% this year, while the S&P 500 is up 9%. Meta Forward P/E: 18.29x. S&P 500 Forward P/E: ~21x. Meta projected 3 YR EPS CAGR: 20.5%. S&P 500 projected 3 YR EPS CAGR: 15%. Is $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ becoming obvious at this point? Or is the capex risk too great?
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ I missed the news about their head of AI for transformation leaving - that probably had an impact. Their AI strategy hasn't been great even with all the money they keep spending...they need to figure this out quickly.
