"Avenue Investment warns that AI capital spending and government debt are reaching unsustainable levels comparable to historical manias, yet maintains exposure to beneficiaries like Toromont Industries, which secured CAD$1 billion in data center power system orders. Rising 30-year rates at 20-year highs pose significant economic risk."
Avenue Investment Management's Q2 2026 letter focuses on two major themes driving markets: the AI capital cycle and government fiscal spending, both of which the manager characterizes as approaching unsustainable levels. The manager expresses concern about the AI infrastructure buildout, comparing it to historical investment manias like the 1990s telecom bubble, with hyperscaler companies projected to spend over $1 trillion in 2027 at capital intensity ratios the manager views as unsustainable. Despite these concerns, the portfolio benefits from this trend through Toromont Industries, which received CAD$1 billion in firm orders for data center power systems. The manager also warns about rising government debt, noting U.S. federal debt will cross $40 trillion in 2026, years ahead of projections, driving their overweight gold position. Long-term interest rates are at 20-year highs, which the manager views as a significant risk. During the quarter, they added positions in Magna Mining and Assurant while selling Tractor Supply due to agricultural sector headwinds. The manager continues seeking quality businesses at reasonable valuations while monitoring macro risks closely.
