Hapag-Loyd $HLAG this morning: - Bunker and insurance costs up $40/50 million per week - That’s 10.4% to 13% of their cost base. Planning for 100% recovery rate (all be passed onto customers). - Strait staying largely closed for 2026 most realistic scenario They only have 2-3% of volume going through the strait. Meaning that this is affecting everyone. Whether you believe the White House (talks going well) or Iran (talks not going well). The likelihood of this not going very badly is very low at this point. We always “buy the dip”. But this time we see real economic consequences (especially for Europe) + an outcome that the Americans have not enough control over + an already fragile labour market in the US + Private Credit redemptions going up + an AI CapEx cycle that cannot afford hiccups. We are at 23.5% cash. 11.5%+ YTD. We are considering selling more to get ahead of a highly likely situation where the economy and markets really suffer from this.

We thought what is going on in Iran (this time) is different. Having at least 10% cash seems appropriate if what we are hearing from the Energy guys is true with respect to Oil & Gas disruptions and price impact. If Europe is hit hard, there will be opportunities to get into stocks (US too) at a double digit discount. It’s easier to judge in hindsight, but it is about being positioned right most of the time prior to price changes. That said, if $DOCN hadn’t become ~60% of our portfolio and we thought near-term inference economics were better, would we have 20% in cash now? Maybe not. So each investor should think for themselves given what they own and how they want to be positioned relative to what’s out there.

Yeah and they need to stop sounding like victims “we are frustrated about the share price, we are used to this every couple of years” and start going on the offensive. Too many heart emojis from SaaS CEOs when they talk about Anthropic and OpenAI. “We love them” and this and that. Those 2 need to move up the stack to fund all that CapEx because consumers aren’t paying up for the chatbot. So I’d be careful cozying up to them if I were a SaaS incumbent.

Enterprise software companies should adopt plans like Meta's. Incredibly ambitious, 5-year options contemplating 366% upside on average and 528% to the max price.

Our $DOCN model below. Thread includes: - Thesis Summary - Revenue Schedule - Cost of Sales and Operating Expenses Schedule - Income Statement - CashFlow Statement - Balance Sheet - PPE, Finance and Operating Leases Schedules We have not sold after the $800M share issue. Position currently 29% of our portfolio, we have been explicit about the risks going forward. All our decisions are based on how we see the business performing in the future, and how certain we are of the projections. We would caution against comparing $DOCN to $PLTR. $PLTR needed little to no CapEx to grow, if $DOCN profits show chronic pressure the stock could take a dive, quickly.

Based on our current model, around $75 per share, but if moderate (10% better pricing per inference MW) pricing improvement occurs then is a $200+ stock. We think the latter outcome is possible-likely, there is no much downside from here, not other investment opportunities in our coverage, 23% in cash, hence we feel comfortable with a 30% position in the name. So it’s a bit of an either or story at this point, much more complicated than it was prior to these developments. Price action today shows that the market has a good (better than ours) view of future economics, which we hope is the case.

@TradingFactsX interesting analysis and quite the market reaction to the share issue, I wasn't expecting it to be so positive. Given the assumptions below do you have a target price for 2030?

$DOCN $700M stock offering. - Dilutes share count by ~10% - $150M Term Loan A payment (?) - $200M for co-location - $250M gets an extra 10MWs online - $135M of incremental revenue in 2027 We don’t like the math on incremental capacity, ($25M per MW of technical PPE, $19.3M per MW in co-location, $13.5M per MW in revenue for 6 years). Convertible will get triggered, and that will further dilute shareholders unless they refinance it. As we said in the below, the story isn’t as straightforward anymore.
TFX@TradingFactsX

Today we reduced our $DOCN position by 44%, achieving a 148% return in less than 12 months on the block sold at $66.5 per share. Before we explain why, it is worth noting that our remaining position makes up 1/4th of our portfolio. We trimmed because: - Inference per MW economics mean very poor incremental gross margins during capacity ramps and on a fully MWs available basis (36.6% vs 60% average over last 5 years). - On this basis, we don't think the company is worth much more than today by 2030 - As a result of the sale, our cash is now 20% of our portfolio which makes us feel good given the uncertainty out there (we think the ongoing situation in the middle-east carries a different risk profile from prior geopolitical events given the incentives, and effective residual capabilities of Iran showcased in their ability to keep the Strait closed). We have not exited completely because: - If revenues per MW increase like they did for traditional cloud over the last 15 years, we estimate 5-6% Gross Margin improvement for each 10% improvement in the revenue per MW side - On this basis, the company could produce operating income in excess of $600M/year by 2030 which would put it on a path to $20B+ Market Cap. Given the uncertainty, we feel that this action protects our downside (story not longer as straightforward as it was prior to Q4) but allows us to participate in any outsized surprise that could occur given a future feasible improvement in inference economics. More detail: The company will add 31MW of capacity in 2026. We derive the 36.6% incremental GMs as follows: Investor Supplement from March 3, 2026: - ~$13M+/MW of Revenue, monetized for 6 years - $20-25M/MW of CapEx paid over 4 years - Rent expense as ~40% of total COGS (ex. Other) Our assumptions: - $13.5M/MW of Revenue, monetized for 6 years - $25M/MW of CapEx paid over 4 years - $19.3M/MW of co-location paid over 6 years - 12.3% Other COGS % of above 2 COGS components A note on potential revenues We think $DOCN will capture at least 0.1% of the total estimated inference demand of around 110GW by 2030, per McKinsey estimates. That will drive $2.7B of annual revenues by 2030, but $3.1B ARR on a fully ramped basis (MW capacity /= MW available). That's based on an assumption of $13.5M of Revenue per MW for inference MWs, and $23.5M of Revenue per MW for non-inference MWs.

$DOCN Operating Leases projections, co-location. Rent and power expense, historically increases, so modeled in 5% per year rises.

Yes you are right, that’s the reason why we are not out altogether and still have it as 28% (we’ll sell more today) of our portfolio is because for every 10% improvement in Revenue per MW, that’s a ~5% improvement in Gross Margins, so quite feasible. + we think they’ll extend useful lives of servers to 7 years so that helps too. But for now management guided to “~$13.5M per MW” and we think CapEx per MW goes up for at least 2 years given that logic and memory fabs are under extreme undercapacity. Furthermore, the convertible is getting triggered next month, after the capped calls kick in that’s another 10% dilution unless they refinance it. Lastly, $CRWV guiding to $30B+ ARR by 2027, we model $1.7B ARR exit in 2027 for $DOCN that’s 17 times $DOCN but EV only 7.6x that of $DOCN? Granted $DOCN has better blended GMs and less customer comcetrstion risk but the rest of the Neoclouds are also going towards inference So is just much more complicated compared to the nice and steady growth motion we were modeling in the past. We’ll share our full model later today/tomorrow, I think many of you are interested in it so it makes sense at this point.

That was before the company said the 31MWs would be deployed all in 1 year, that new capacity is all for inference, and that inference has basically 36% Gross Margins vs their current 60%. Before that, it was a steadily expanding ARPU story, faster Scaler+ customer acquisition, lower churn, steady gross margins with lower overall revenue growth. Now we model 2030 revenues of $2.6B at roughly 40% GMs. Assuming MWs come online in Q3 and 4 of each year until then. It is disappointing, but we can’t ignore what the story has become and what the numbers look like. Could Revenues per MW go to $15,17,19 Million in the future and therefore drive 50% GMs? Possibly, that’s why we still own it (but may reduce further today) in that case the company is worth $20B+ by 2030. But is less clear at this point.

You did. We’ve been in $DOCN since April last year, at $26.8. It’s still 28% of our portfolio, even after we trimmed. You on the other hand were in our posts in December asking dumb questions about it. You have no clue about anything as far as we’ve seen. Keep asking Grok though. “OpPeNhiMeR pRoJeCtS 136MW by 2029”, we project 146, we still don’t like what we see relative to our prior assumptions. Unit level Gross Margins look terrible based on Management’s own guide. They will need to keep raising finance to bring all that capacity online, similarly to what the neoclouds are doing, and we don’t like that. The only reason we’re staying in is because Revenues per MW may improve in the future, leap of faith - nothing tangible points to it apart from what happened in early traditional cloud ramps in 2010/11. I’m sure all this very simple stuff is hard to process for you but at least others can see for themselves. Thank you for keeping the engagement up in our posts, 🤡
