"Brasada sounds a warning bell on a debt-fueled AI capex bubble, adopting a selective investment posture focused on fortress-balance-sheet hyperscalers and high-quality compounders like Broadcom and Ferguson."
Brasada's Q3 2025 commentary highlights the macroeconomic backdrop of cooling inflation and Fed rate cuts against a strained low-income consumer. The core of the letter analyzes the burgeoning AI capital expenditure cycle, arguing it has entered a late-cycle speculative phase driven by circular and debt-fueled financing (notably OpenAI's multi-billion partnerships). Brasada takes a cautious, selective approach, prioritizing cash-generating hyperscalers and bottleneck suppliers like Broadcom (AVGO). It also profiles specialty distributor Ferguson (FERG), arguing its strong pricing power and consolidation capabilities insulate it from cyclical housing downturns.
