When I was younger, I would get impatient with my stocks, larping as a trader when I should have DCA’d and held on instead. I graduated from college in 2008 with no capital to start, but think of the generational entries then. $OUST is a promising young company still earning only ~50M in revenues quarterly. We all want a 10x, but most get off the train after 50% or a double and lose focus. For those who have done the DD, this company has a long and potentially prosperous path ahead. I can see them at over $1B/qtr revenue run rate some day. DCA little by little- they’ll be in the S&P500 in the next decade

$SLNH structure looks similar to $DGXX. So $SLNH landing a deal or catalyst this / next week would be fun. Would send it to $3.50 quite fast. Again, $SLNH is a volatille name. Embrace it. Weekly outlook is 🔷🔷🔷 + Whale Flow coming in, that's what I'm watching

Before the close on Friday, I doubled down on $OSS Here's my thesis: The DoD has requested a massive $1.45 to $1.5 trillion for 2027 with $53.6 Billion specifically for "Drone Dominance" The Pentagon explicitly stated that this money is for "applying technology that exists TODAY" not long term R&D. $OSS already has flight proven, ruggedized AI servers. This means they can move from small test contracts to large scale production orders almost immediately. And we are currently seeing that. $OSS just got deeply integrated into the Navy P-8A Poseidon (a $65M+ total contract value). Why does this matter? As the DoD seeks to deploy AI in "harsh environments" (which is a consistent phrase in the documents), OSS's proprietary liquid cooling and rugged chassis will be quickly adopted by the gov imo. They already have a unique relationship with $NVDA as their Ponto platform was among the first to support 16-way GPU expansion for edge environments. Now here's where it gets fun: At surface level, their revenue looks like it fell off a cliff. This is due to them selling off their low margin business 'Bressner' that accounted for over 50% of their total sales. Given the recent demand, they decided to go all in on their rugged edge compute niche which is a higher margin business going from 30% margins to 50%+ margins. Higher quality revenue, with longer term contracts. Something the markets absolutely love. At a $250M MC they are currently being priced as their old legacy hardware distributor business. $OSS also has one of the best HTF charts out there. It broke out of a 8 year accumulation period and retested it many times and defended each time. With nothing but tailwinds ahead of them, I believe we're going a lot higher. I'm a HUGE fan of this name.

Heading into the One Stop Systems $OSS Q1 earnings call this Wednesday, May 6, 2026, here is a recap of the significant operational momentum achieved throughout the quarter: 🔹U.S. Navy Powerhouse: Secured $10.5M in new awards for the P-8A Poseidon aircraft, bringing lifetime contracted revenue for this platform to over $65M. 🔹Commercial Robotics Entry: Announced a leading manufacturer of autonomous construction and mining equipment as a new customer (Built Robotics), with $2M in orders expected in 2026 and a five-year pipeline of up to $15M. 🔹U.S. Army Modernization: Received a $1.2M order to develop ruggedized integrated compute and visualization systems for combat vehicles like the Stryker and Bradley (Second Big Situational Awareness Project). 🔹Aerospace Connectivity: Landed a $1.1M initial order for ruggedized Ethernet switches to support next-gen in-flight entertainment systems. Key Considerations on Revenue Timing: While these wins are substantial, the exact quarterly timing for revenue recognition remains variable. Notably, the P-8A Poseidon awards are expected to contribute to revenue throughout 2026 and continue well into 2027. NVIDIA GTC Highlight: $OSS recently showcased Ponto, their ultra-dense PCIe Gen5 expansion system, at NVIDIA GTC. In their recap, the company highlighted Ponto as a strategic solution for commercial data center operators to scale compute power without the massive capital expenditure of buying additional DRAM. This is a critical advantage given current high memory prices.

$OSS 🟢 +16% in Pre-Market 👇 $OSS Q1 2026 Earnings $OSS delivered a standout quarter, with the top line coming in well ahead of estimates. Revenue surged 55% YoY to $8.1M, with gross margin expanding 610 bps to 51.6%, a clear sign of mix improvement and operational leverage. What drove the growth? • Higher sales of data storage products to a defense prime customer for the P-8A program, increased liquid-cooled server sales to a medical imaging OEM, and new customer-funded development revenue for prototype combat vehicle compute systems were the key contributors. The revenue mix shift toward higher-margin defense and development work directly explains the gross margin expansion. Bookings are the real headline • $OSS recorded nearly $15M in bookings in Q1, described by management as one of the strongest quarters in company history, producing a book-to-bill of 1.8x and supporting a TTM book-to-bill above 1.2x. A 1.8x book-to-bill means $OSS is building backlog significantly faster than it's burning it. That's a powerful leading indicator. Cash generation turned a corner • Operating cash flow from continuing operations was $4.0M, compared to cash burn of $1.5M in Q1'25, a $5.5M swing YoY. Management called it record free cash flow from continuing operations. Profitability is inflecting • GAAP net loss narrowed dramatically to $(0.4)M vs. $(2.3)M a year ago. On a non-GAAP basis, OSS flipped to $0.3M net income and $0.2M adjusted EBITDA, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.6)M in Q1'25. The company is approaching breakeven on a clean basis. OpEx discipline holding • Total operating expenses grew only 2.5% YoY to $4.8M, with higher G&A partially offset by lower R&D and selling expenses. Revenue grew 55% while opex grew 2.5%, that's the kind of operating leverage that changes a business model. Balance sheet remains solid • Cash, equivalents, and short-term investments stood at $34.4M, with working capital of $44.7M. No debt concerns here. FY 2026 Guidance confirmed • Revenue growth of +20% to +25%, gross margin ~40% (note: step-down from Q1's 51.6% due to mix normalization), and positive EBITDA for the full year. The Q1 gross margin was unusually elevated, the FY guidance of ~40% suggests the development program mix won't hold at this level all year, which is expected. 👉 Bottom line: $OSS is executing cleanly on its pivot to a pure-play rugged AI compute business. The bookings strength, cash flow inflection, and near-breakeven profitability all point to a company entering a new phase. The key risk remains customer concentration in defense, but for now, demand is clearly accelerating. Long $OSS Congrats to all Investors 🥳
