Soitec Photonic SOI: $780M Bottom-Up vs Goldman $91B CPO Top-Down (~$500M in 2028) At Convequity we built a waterfall model on GS’ $91B cumulative CPO TAM (2026-28) to forecast $SOI's 2028 revenue. 73% lands in 2028 → hyperscalers pay Layer 5 $66.4B. Math (per $1 hyperscalers pay to L5): • L5 spends 35% → L4 $0.35 • L4 spends 65% = $0.2275 (only ~40% of that spend goes to PIC dies — rest leaks to lasers/FAUs/test/yield → $0.091 to foundries) • L3 spends 55% = $0.050 • 15% of that to Soitec SOI wafers = $0.0075 (0.75%) → $1 spent by hyperscalers at Layer 5 results in just $0.0075 with Soitec → ~$500M in 2028 revenue from CPO alone (0.75% * $66.4B). Our prior bottom-up base case (quoted in the article) already showed $780M total AI-optics (current run-rate ~$120M). The upside for Soitec is tremendous. Full model attached. #Soitec #CPO


Congrats @infleqtion on the IPO! $CCCX $INFQ Fascinating interview •Pulls out pocket-sized, room-temp quantum core (no chandelier needed) •Gravity satellites (detecting tunnels, heavy materials/nukes) •Implications for financial infra •Quantum Exec Orders •Threat to $BTC


$RDDT is getting ridiculous. Looks completely mispriced. Now down 40% over the past few months. If you strip out carry-forward losses, their net profit is ~28% of revenue, which is absolutely enormous. And they’re growing forward revenues 50%+ Y/Y after 70%+ Y/Y growth. If you ever look at $META, you know how much revenue can be optimized/user. There’s an incredibly high ceiling for monetization with Reddit. It’s already derisked since IPO since Reddit is now one of the fastest growing and highest margin companies in the market. One day if it pulls a $CRCL post earnings, we’ll look back and wonder how this was valued at $24 billion MC.








Just a few trades today, nothing too special. $META on the drop to $600, due to capex overreaction. $NBIS on this ~20% dip from ATHs. Sold a couple large positions that became stagnant w/ very little upcoming catalysts. And re-allocated those funds into building positions out in names like $BE, $QCOM and Asian names like Episil-Precision and SK square. Might treat myself to some $IQE tomorrow too.





"Your body can only use 25-30g of protein per meal. Anything above that gets wasted." This claim has been repeated in fitness nutrition for over a decade, and it was built on studies that measured the right thing over the wrong timescale. Moore 2009 gave six young men 0, 5, 10, 20, or 40g of egg protein after leg-only resistance exercise and tracked muscle protein synthesis for four hours. MPS plateaued at 20g. Witard 2014 repeated a similar dose-response with whey protein after unilateral leg exercise in 48 resistance-trained men and found MPS rose 49% at 20g and 56% at 40g over four hours, with the authors concluding 20g was sufficient for maximal stimulation. Case closed, or so it seemed. The problem wasn't the dose. It was that a 4-hour window captures the peak response to 20g but only the opening chapter of what 40g is doing. Think of digestion as a funnel with a fixed flow rate. Pour a cup of water through it and it drains in minutes. Pour a gallon and it doesn't overflow. The funnel just drains at the same rate over a longer period. Protein behaves the same way. A smaller dose gets absorbed and used quickly. A larger dose digests over a longer window because the stomach slows gastric emptying and the intestine releases amino acids gradually. Muscle tissue keeps incorporating them wave after wave. The "ceiling" in those early studies wasn't a biological saturation point. It was what you see when you stop watching before the larger dose finishes working. Trommelen et al. (2023, Cell Reports Medicine) tested this directly. They randomized 36 recreationally active young men to 0g, 25g, or 100g of milk protein after a 60-minute whole-body resistance session and tracked muscle protein synthesis for twelve hours using a quadruple isotope tracer. In the first four hours, myofibrillar protein synthesis was only about 20% higher after 100g than after 25g. In the four-to-twelve-hour window, that gap widened to roughly 40%. That later window is where the bigger dose actually separates from the smaller one, and it's exactly where every prior dose-response study stopped measuring. The authors also reanalyzed the oxidation data from Moore and Witard and concluded that postprandial amino acid oxidation represents less than 15% of the increment in ingested protein. The paper states it plainly: "Protein ingestion has a negligible impact on whole-body protein breakdown rates or amino acid oxidation rates." Caveats belong in the read. This was young recreationally active men following a single bout of resistance exercise. Not trained athletes, not women, not older adults, not a longitudinal hypertrophy trial. A 2024 Witard commentary in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism flagged that the finding may not translate to resistance-trained young women with different anabolic kinetics. Practically: you don't need to portion exactly 25-30g of protein every three hours to avoid "wasting" it. Larger meals extend the anabolic window rather than capping it. Distribution across the day still matters for satiety, blood sugar, and hitting your daily target. But the rigid per-meal rule has weaker biology behind it than previously believed.

@aleabitoreddit I basically skipped over the March Iran-war market drop while staying heavily exposed to stocks, and still ended up gaining thanks to your picks. Portfolio is up 3x YTD and I’m just some random retail guy from Canada, so I can only imagine how many others you’ve helped. Thank you




Bloom Energy $BE expanded its Oracle $ORCL partnership to support up to 2.8 GW of fuel cell deployments for AI and cloud infrastructure, with Oracle already contracting an initial 1.2 GW.


@aleabitoreddit 3105 Win Semiconductors Corp just announced a private placement today. What’s your take on this? How do you think it impacts the stock price



Sivers < $SIVE / $SIVEF > powering Jabil ($27B MC) < $JBL > 1.6T LRO transcivers. As the laser light source. Is by far the biggest news from $NVDA GTC for Sivers ($280M MC) today... in history. Jabil brings in about $30B+ revenue from end users like $AMZN, $GOOGL, and $META. As well as OEMs like $NVDA, Arista, $AVGO, and Cisco. Especially after acquiring $INTC SiPH optical transceiver business, they're Tier 1 in the space. Sivers powering Jabil as the CW DFB laser source for Silicon Photonics and CPO and hyperscaler supply chains: At a $280M MC is incredible, and they're one of the most unknown yet highest potential company I've seen in the photonics sector so far. And the news from $NVDA GTC just cemented this thesis further. I think they genuinely have a shot at becoming the next $LITE.
