Cloudflare is quietly having a monster year. The # of new sites sitting behind $NET in Q3: +66% YoY. AI agents flooding the web + exponential increase in security holes (see today's PHP exploit) is pushing everyone behind Cloudflare’s web firewall

My deep dive article on $AMZN and why it is my biggest position: 1. Value of e-commerce in agentic shopping 2. Disruption of the Ad business 3. Agentic AI lead: MCP server adoption showing a strong lead for AWS vs peers 4. AWS (growth of traditional and AI compute). 5. Importance of Trainium 6. Valuation breakdown and the discount the market is giving uncoveralpha.com/p/amazons-v…

Who’s the #1 fastest growing company based on job openings? Not an AI startup but a $LULU competitor: Alo Yoga. Total jobs grew a stunning 1100% YoY And that expansion has led to brand heat. While not a perfect proxy, the # of items sold on Poshmark grew 44% for Alo, -10% for LULU

I analyzed the number of GenAI jobs at Big Tech, and the results are very insightful. 1. Surprisingly, $AMZN has been leading most months with GenAI job openings, which tells you a lot about how much $AMZN is taking this seriously. The thesis of $AMZN "being behind" in GenAI might soon be very false. 2. $META, despite having 3x fewer total employees, now has more GenAI job openings than $GOOGL. 3. The data shows that $MSFT is constantly looking for more GenAI employees and currently has the most GenAI job openings. data from @Revealera Over the weekend, I will publish an article in my newsletter that details what current alternative data sources, such as job openings, expert interviews, etc., are showing regarding Big Tech and their AI efforts. This will become a regular monthly post on the UncoverAlpha newsletter.

analysing loads of job ads over the last two years shows us that it’s a tale of AI engineers and researchers. @AznWeng

Is Databricks beating $SNOW when it comes to AI use cases and workloads? The percentage of jobs mentioning both AI and Databricks has grown more than 2x since 2022, much faster than $SNOW

Very insightful for $META investors. Data shows $META is back to employing new roles after a bottom in mid-2023, the year of efficiency. What I like to see is the data showing that most of the new hires are in Engineering roles and not Sales/Customer roles. $META, despite being lean, which I fully support, $META needs to invest and harvest AI talent to be ready for the next tech cycle. Great company continuing to execute well & while still investing to be ready for the next tech cycle. data by @Revealera

Sales hiring in SaaS companies is slowly starting to pick up, a good proxy for companies that rely on sales headcount like $ZI. The # of new sales job openings in the past 28 days is 20% more than this time last year

Sorry, that chart is very confusing, here’s the data excluding trials. It’s looks more bullish, especially June. Last few months detected lower #s but nothing deviating that much from the norm. Hope this helps.

1/ Observations of a retired stock analyst. As someone who called a then coming super-spike era for oil markets in 2004, but failed to get off in 2008 until well into the downturn, the current innovation/Bubble stock gurus seem to be making many of the same mistakes I made.

This is also everything that’s wrong with the narrative around technological change. Technological advancement is supposed to benefit employees and society in general—not punish low income individuals.
Capitalism is like water... it seeks its level.

Our data @RevealeraData discovered that Patreon might have an IPO soon. It got picked up by @theinformation in the article a moment ago. Are they going to merge with a SPAC? Is OnlyFans next?

Momentum, value, venture, growth... labels don’t matter. investment style is a psychological construct - flexibility and creativity generates outsized returns (cc Silver Lake and Sixth Street). seanfanning.substack.com/p/l…

Super interesting that $WORK is just now starting “solution selling”. This is enterprise sales 101 that most (CRM, NOW, SAP) have mastered. Shows how early Slack GTM is and theyve gotten this far on brand value This will also unlock deeper workflows + use cases in Sales, IT, etc
