BYD IN TALKS WITH STELLANTIS AND OTHERS TO TAKE OVER EU CAR PLANTS

Morgan Stanley has again raised its capex forecasts for the five hyperscalers Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle. It now expects them to spend about $805bn this year, up from a previous estimate of $765bn. For next year, the forecast has been lifted from $951bn to $1.1TRILLION. To put that into perspective, their 2026 spending alone would be roughly equal to what all non-tech companies in the S&P 500 spent combined in 2025. The expected ~$800bn for 2026 is nearly double 2025 levels and about three times what was spent in 2024.

This is probably the wildest data point you'll see today. The cost to a French employer of a net pay of €39k is a staggering €95k. How is this even possible? Can you imagine the incentive to replace French jobs with AI and robots? Get some popcorn.

@MylanPiron @BertWollants @vincent_v_p Klopt helemaal. Men ziet een "toegevoegde waarde" in de accijns en daar betaal je dan nog "belasting op toegevoegde waard" op 🤡 Belasting op belasting in dit belastingland.





BREAKING: Thoma Bravo just released their LP meeting slides. The world's largest software PE firm thinks the market has it completely wrong on software right now. Public markets are panic-selling software based on AI fear. Here's what they're seeing:


Het overheidsbeslag is 56%.

Is it just me or does anyone else think this is utterly ridiculous? There's a reason why people in terraced houses the length and breadth of this country don't feel confident to even leave a nice plant pot outside their front door. And for good reason. So how the hell can hundreds of thousands of these devices possibly be left unattended while charging vehicles? Look at it. It might as well have a big flashing neon sign above it saying "VANDALISM OPPORTUNITY ⬇️". And how the hell do you ensure you can actually park outside your own house? I know people who've lived in terraced houses for years and have never once been lucky enough to find a space outside their own front door. This is madness wrapped up in nonsense and topped off with lunacy.

Every once in awhile, I ask myself why is the 2nd most valuable company in the world, completely sitting out the largest capex investment cycle ever?
