@joceyreyes209 Don't ignore Aeroflexx either. While it isn't as sexy as Accelsius, it has real orders and an increasing book of business.

$INV This is how I’m think about those calling for the AI bubble to burst. Everyone is focusing on hyperscaler capex. To date 90% of AI capex has been Hyperscaler based becuase they have receiving 90% of the GPU’s. The enterprise AI build out hasn’t even started in earnest yet and will accelerate IMO as agentic AI takes hold in the enterprise. This is a multi year cycle and we are still in the early innings. It will dwarf the .com build out of the late 1990’s early 2000’s by an order of magnitude. AI requires vastly more compute, memory, storage and power as AI goes from chat based to agentic AI and ultimately AGI and the requirement to cool processors as they run hotter and hotter will become a increasingly critical requirement. two phase cooling will become a mandatory requirement as processors run hotter and hotter as processing loads increase. Air and single phase cooling aren’t viable solutions. I believe Accelsius is positioned to capitalize on the massive opportunity in front of them and emerge as THE industry leader in the $30B two phase cooling market. Through INV I have made a concentrated bet in Accelsius. DYODD. Not financial advice.

BofA now sees cloud/hyperscale aggregate FCF margin to reach ~0% between 2026-27 and they love it because, you know, it is the future... "We see the AI capex cycle as sustainable as hyperscaler spending is increasingly supported by: 1) frontier lab revenue acceleration, 2) contracted cloud/backlog growth, and 3) token -intensive agentic workloads" zerohedge.com/the-market-ear…

🧵The Democrats may not survive the Callais ruling. The Supreme Court’s decision to curb race-based congressional districts strikes at the structural foundation of their House power. I've been counting 21 such districts. But by the American Spectator's count, 122 of Democrats' 212 seats sit in majority-minority districts engineered along racial lines. This is not a small correction. It is an existential threat to their current model.

Mr. Tinker@xEBITDA·
Trigger warning: Long post after digesting the ER. I think the market is still misunderstanding what the $EOSE/Cerberus JV actually represents. Most people are analyzing this like a normal strategic investment where Cerberus simply decided to back Eos. That’s not really the important part. The important part is that this may be one of the first serious attempts to solve the actual bottleneck in long-duration energy storage: project bankability. The issue with LDES was never simply demand. Everyone already understands the need for dispatchable power, AI/datacenter load balancing, grid resiliency and renewable integration. The real problem was always financing, insurance, guarantees, underwriting and project structuring. Utilities and hyperscalers do not want to coordinate a battery vendor, an insurer, a project finance group, EPC contractors, asset managers, software operators, and energy market specialists for every deployment. They want turnkey infrastructure with predictable economics and credible counterparties standing behind it. That is what Frontier Power USA appears designed to become. The JV effectively creates a vertically integrated deployment and financing platform around energy storage projects. Cerberus brings institutional capital, infrastructure expertise and project structuring capabilities. Ariel Green brings long-duration performance insurance and underwriting capacity. Eos supplies the initial underlying technology stack and manufacturing platform. Together, that creates something much more important than simply “a battery company.” It creates a framework where a datacenter operator or utility can potentially make one phone call and receive: the batteries, financing, insurance, guarantees, project management, operational support, and assistance monetizing various energy market revenue streams. That dramatically lowers procurement friction. The most important piece here may actually be the insurance and financing framework itself as both @AdamLevey7 and @JigarShahDC can probably attest to. Battery projects are difficult to finance because lenders fear technology underperformance and uncertain long-duration cash flows. Most lenders are not battery experts. They care about whether the project performs as promised and whether revenue streams are reliable enough to support institutional debt financing. By wrapping projects with standardized underwriting structures, long-duration insurance coverage and institutional financing frameworks, Frontier potentially lowers one of the biggest barriers preventing large-scale LDES deployment. Infrastructure markets run on trust and underwriting confidence far more than chemistry debates. And this is where I think many investors are still missing the bigger picture. $EOSE does not necessarily need to “win the battery wars” in a winner-take-all outcome to become extremely successful. The LDES market itself may become enormous because the underlying demand drivers are structural: - AI power demand, - renewable intermittency, - transmission constraints, - resiliency requirements, - electrification, - and grid modernization. It is naive to think $EOSE or any other company will be "the one". Multiple technologies will likely coexist. What matters is whether $EOSE secures a durable position inside the financing and deployment ecosystem as the industry scales. The Cerberus JV potentially helps accomplish exactly that. Before this deal, $EOSE was mostly viewed as: “a speculative battery manufacturer.” After this deal, $EOSE starts looking more like “a foundational participant inside an emerging infrastructure financing platform.” That distinction matters enormously. Battery hardware alone eventually commoditizes. Margins compress over time. But financing ecosystems, underwriting frameworks, institutional relationships, recurring project cash flows and deployment platforms create real moats.And ironically, one of the most interesting aspects of this structure is that Frontier itself may eventually become bigger than just $EOSE technology. As a reference, look at GE Finance, Siemens Finance, or any of the Automotive Fincos. These are enormous businesses by themselves. Today, the platform is clearly centered around $EOSE. Frontier secured a 2 GWh reservation agreement tied to $EOSE manufacturing. Cerberus committed $100M of equity capital into Frontier. $EOSE plans to contribute approximately $150M via the rights offering. The Ariel Green insurance structure is specifically designed around $EOSE technology today. But over time, if Frontier successfully institutionalizes the financing side of storage deployment, the platform itself could theoretically finance and deploy multiple technologies across the broader industry. That possibility actually reinforces the thesis. Because it suggests the real moat may not ultimately be: “our battery chemistry is slightly better.” The real moat may be: “we can actually get projects financed, insured, approved and deployed at scale.” Disclaimer: Long $EOSE

Bro, all this does is provide a framework work datacenters and utilities to purchase power without the drama of shopping for finance, insurance and all the rest. Frontier USA solves the major issue that is holding up projects. It's apparently extremely difficult to insure the performance and structure the project in a way that proves the ROI based revenue streams to the financiers. This is a massive moat for all BESS tech companies. Eos/CERB just solved it. Now, a datacenter can just call up Frontier USA and get cubes, insurance finance, support, project guarantees, energy project management, assistance with tapping into various revenue streams and more....with one phone call and one management team. Eos/Frontier USA get to earn off the insurance and financing in addition to the sale of tech itself.

$EOSE Great call and progress! Congrats to the whole team. Main takeaway: Cerberus isn't going anywhere. They continue to doble-down on $EOSE, reinvesting, putting the effort and talent, and building a "platform"; the typical Private Equity playbook. A battery OEM having its own project development arm makes all the sense in the world. I like it. Allows for faster deployments of newer technologies, and can work as a hedge and reinvestment avenue if manufacturing ever becomes commoditized. There's a scenario were owning the energy asset is more profitable than manufacturing it. Dont know the probability of it, but it exists. Eos has got that covered now. On the commercial front: 2GWh from Turbine-X + 2GWh from Frontier USA + 3GWh from Talen + 3.3GWh from NYSERDA... among others... some of them need to turn into firm orders, but still. Lots of traction to like imo. Manufacturability of the product continues to improve, even without Tornhill online. John Mahaz is a killer and great addition to the team! Margins still negative but improving fast, and are even targeting adj-EBITDA positive by year-end. That was above my expectations. All-in-all, lots to like. $EOSE placed the bar super low after Q4 2025. That was deliberate. Painful in the short term, but the only was to rebuild from there. Q1 2026 was the first step towards that. Cerberus continues to be all-in. A lot more to digest.

Dubas had a lot to say and much of it was quite interesting. Article upcoming. A couple of things I found especially noteworthy were Dubas basically campaigning for players in their 20s to come play in Pittsburgh and the fact that Bill Zonnon already knows the team’s system.

Dear @sapinker, You are yet again unnecessarily bringing @realDonaldTrump into the conversation. Try to process the contents of my book without invoking your political orientation. The open border immigration policies that have taken place in the West are perfectly suicidal. You need to have the imagination to extrapolate from current realities to a far-away future to recognize the death spiral. You grew up in the warm succour of the West; I grew up in the Middle East. As a Jewish man, you may wish to reconsider your immense kindness and empathy toward those who would eradicate you in a heartbeat once the demographic realities are in their favour. I live in the real world and not in the ecosystem of the ivory tower where ideas are fully decoupled from reality. Shabbat shalom.
