$MSFT
Microsoft3/10Does he own it?
No first-person buy/hold/add/size statement for MSFT. It is cited constantly as a hyperscaler demand driver and a Mag7 macro gauge. It appears in a "30 stocks I like" list (#28, framed as a future buying opportunity) and in "would have been" hypothetical equal-weight return recaps, but his actual celebrated longs never include it.
His thesis
MSFT serves mainly as context: a top hyperscaler whose capex (raised toward ~$150B) and qualification orders drive demand for his real positions in optical/photonics and supply-chain bottleneck names. He views it as the financially safest mega-cap (funding the AI buildout from operating income, low debt). When it sold off hard on macro/Iran fears, he repeatedly called the drawdown overdone and a buying opportunity. Also flagged it as the undisclosed customer behind a tiny quantum-equipment supplier (Riber/$ALRIB).
How his view evolved
Early on a macro/capex bellwether and OpenAI-contagion risk node. Through the spring selloff he repeatedly called it oversold and a buy. Later used mainly as a demand anchor and as the secret hyperscaler behind small suppliers he was actually long.
Key points
- Treated as the safest mega-cap, funding AI capex from operating income
- Cited as a demand/customer driver for his real photonics and supply-chain longs
- Selloffs repeatedly called overdone buying opportunities, but no stated position
