The bellwether for AI workloads. Hyperscaler capital expenditure flows directly into Nvidia's H-series and Blackwell architectures.

Forecast: Upside continues as AI moves to inference.

Verdict: Strong Buy/Hold. Essential core holding.

The gatekeeper of Moore's Law. If you want a 3nm or 2nm chip, you need ASML's machines. Logic foundries cannot advance without them.

Forecast: Growth hinges on "High-NA" EUV rollout.

Verdict: Defensive Growth. Wide economic moat.

The physical internet. While AI happens in the cloud, data must travel. Equinix controls the points where clouds and carriers meet.
