"Pernas Portfolio achieved massive outperformance in Q3 2025 (+31.7%), driven by surging AI names, and details why the current AI capital cycle is fundamentally healthier and more durable than the dot-com era fiber boom."
Executive Summary
Pernas Portfolio outperformed the S&P 500 by over 23% in Q3 2025, driven by surging AI infrastructure holdings (APLD, CGEH) and digital manufacturing (XMTR), despite a decline in its largest position (RELY). The letter counters concerns of an 'AI bubble' by highlighting structural differences between the late-90s fiber bust and today's AI CAPEX cycle. The manager identifies key indicators like AI data-center utilization as cushions against collapse and anticipates that the current cycle has at least 12–16 months of durable runway.
