  3 Stocks You Need To Own For 2027

  Oct 6, 202621 minS1

  In this episode of Being Exponential , Luke Lango reveals three of his favorite stocks heading into 2027: Marvell Technology (MRVL), Arm Holdings (ARM), and Nebius (NBIS). The AI boom is entering its next phase. As the industry shifts from generative AI toward agentic AI , Luke breaks down why that transition could create an entirely new wave of demand for custom silicon, CPUs, high-speed networking, and AI cloud infrastructure . We dive into Marvell’s massive long-term ambitions and its opportunity in custom AI chips and interconnect, why Arm could become increasingly important as AI inference expands across the cloud and edge, and how Nebius is positioning itself as a major player in the rapidly growing NeoCloud market. Are MRVL, ARM, and NBIS three of the best ways to position for the next phase of the AI boom—and could they become some of 2027’s biggest winners?

  OpenAI's Agents Went Rogue. Here's the AI Stock Play

  Oct 2, 202624 minS1

  In this episode of Being Exponential, Luke Lango breaks down a massive week for the AI trade as OpenAI and Anthropic report extraordinary revenue growth, Anthropic’s IPO prospectus gives investors a rare look inside the economics of frontier AI, and rising Treasury yields put new pressure on the entire technology sector. OpenAI’s annualized recurring revenue is reportedly approaching $70 billion, while Anthropic has also experienced explosive growth—raising the question of whether AI monetization is finally beginning to catch up with the enormous amount of capital flowing into the industry. Axios We also dive into Anthropic’s IPO prospectus, which shows $4.6 billion in 2025 revenue, an operating loss of more than $8 billion, and roughly $518 billion in future cloud, compute, and infrastructure obligations. What do those numbers tell us about the sustainability of the AI infrastructure supercycle? Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury yield has pushed into the 5%+ range, creating a major new test for expensive growth stocks and the increasingly capital-intensive AI buildout. And finally, we examine the growing rogue AI agent problem. Recent disclosures and investigations have uncovered thousands of concerning agent behaviors, including systems circumventing restrictions, communicating outside intended environments, and probing real-world systems—raising serious questions about how AI companies control increasingly autonomous models. Is explosive AI revenue validating the bull case—or are rising costs, higher rates, and increasingly unpredictable AI systems creating a completely new set of risks?

  Don't Miss These 4 Stocks in the AI Infrastructure Race

  Sep 29, 202626 minS1

  In this episode of Being Exponential , Luke Lango breaks down five stocks catching his attention as investors look for the next wave of opportunities across AI infrastructure, connectivity, storage, and fintech . Luke dives into Vicor (VICR), MaxLinear (MXL), Everpure (P), Corning (GLW), and Robinhood (HOOD) —exploring what’s driving each stock, where the biggest growth opportunities could be, and what could derail the bull case. We look beyond the obvious AI chip winners to examine the companies powering the next phase of the buildout—from power delivery and high-speed optical networking to data storage and fiber infrastructure . Plus, Luke breaks down Robinhood’s evolution beyond retail trading and whether its rapidly expanding financial ecosystem can keep delivering growth. Are these the next second-order winners of the AI boom, or have some of these stocks already run too far?

  The AI Opportunity Everyone is Missing (It’s Not What You Think)

  Sep 25, 202653 minS1

  In this special collaboration episode of Being Exponential , Luke Lango is joined by Lucas Downey and Jason Bodner of MoneyFlows for a deep dive into the state of the AI trade—with a twist: Luke is taking the bear side. With Lucas and Jason defending the AI bull thesis, we stress test some of the biggest assumptions driving today's market. Is hyperscaler spending sustainable? Are semiconductor and memory stocks still positioned for another leg higher? And as the AI trade broadens, where is institutional money actually moving next? The conversation covers the semiconductor and memory trade, hyperscaler CapEx, photonics and optical networking, the broadening AI ecosystem , and which sectors could emerge as the next major beneficiaries of AI infrastructure spending. Luke, Lucas, and Jason also reveal their favorite stocks and preferred sectors , debate the risks that could challenge the AI boom, and tackle one final question: What is the biggest mistake—or biggest opportunity—the market is overlooking right now? It’s the AI bull case put under pressure , with three different perspectives on where the next phase of the trade could take investors.

  The AI Rally Is Back: 5 Stocks To Watch

  Sep 22, 202617 minS1

  In this episode of Being Exponential , Luke Lango breaks down the rebound taking shape across the AI trade and asks the big question: Was the recent weakness just another buying opportunity? Luke dives into AMD, Meta, Arm, SanDisk, and Qualcomm , looking at how each company fits into the next phase of the AI boom—from chips and custom silicon to memory, inference, and the massive infrastructure buildout supporting AI adoption. We discuss what's driving money back into AI stocks, whether the recent rebound has staying power, and which areas of the market could lead the next leg higher. Luke also breaks down the risks that could derail the recovery and what investors should be watching to determine whether this is the beginning of another major AI run—or simply a short-term bounce.
