What stands out

Tim Horan, a managing director at Oppenheimer & Co., told Fox Business' Making Money that the market is facing a massive shortage of compute for AI and pointed to SpaceX's rapid investment in AI infrastructure. This is a concrete reminder that AI isn’t just algorithms, it’s wiring, chips, and data centers, the physical bottlenecks that determine who can actually ship product. For investors, the shortage elevates capital-intensive winners and raises the stakes for companies trying to turn machine learning experiments into durable revenue.
