AI infrastructure faces energy constraints with data centers becoming massive electricity consumers, while rising power costs and grid limitations challenge assumptions of frictionless scalability. Markets may be conflating transformational potential with near-term certainty, creating valuation risk similar to past cycles. Energy plays a central role in the manager's analysis, both as a historical lesson from 2014-15 oil collapse and as a current constraint on AI infrastructure. Data centers have become massive electricity consumers with economics highly sensitive to power pricing and grid reliability. Rising electricity prices in data-center-heavy regions and utility challenges in expanding capacity create physical constraints that complicate AI scalability assumptions. The portfolio focuses on small-cap businesses that are performing well fundamentally with strong balance sheets, resilient cash flows, and improved competitive positions. The manager emphasizes owning businesses that can compound value over time rather than speculation, though acknowledges markets don't always reward fundamentals on a linear schedule. Portfolio positioning reflects discipline in finding mispriced companies relative to long-term intrinsic value. | TKR DY DORM KAI CSW DAR AEIS |
