"Greenlight Capital sits out the AI infrastructure boom, warning of a multi-trillion dollar mathematical mismatch, while finding selective value in PG&E and clinical biotech."
Executive Summary
Greenlight Capital returned -3.6% net in Q3 2025, lagging the S&P 500's 8.1% gain. The fund dedicates a significant portion of the letter to debunking the financial logic of the current AI investment cycle. They argue that projected global AI capital expenditures ($6.7 trillion through 2030) are completely out of line with addressable revenues, requiring AI businesses to capture 100% of today's global ad and subscription markets to break even. They describe how the AI supply chain artificially inflates revenue numbers through circular spending among loss-making players. In portfolio activity, Greenlight established a medium-sized position in Pacific Gas & Electric (PCG) on the basis of positive regulatory reforms, highlighted their micro-cap position in Coya Therapeutics (COYA), and exited a highly successful five-year investment in Teck Resources (TECK) with a 52% net IRR.
