Figma: Paying $30B For An 800M-User Experiment

Figma's ChatGPT integration gives it access to 800 million users - if just 1.5% convert, that's $130-260M in new ARR reversing the deceleration that crushed the stock 57% from its August peak. At $60.94 (27.7x sales), yesterday's 7% pop priced in half the upside, leaving 23-35% to $75-82 if it works or 15-20% downside to $48-52 if it flops. Wait for pullback to $55-57 over the next month, validate at November earnings when management must show real ChatGPT user numbers, and use February's insider unlock as your entry window. For those wanting less risk, ServiceTitan trades at 10.9x sales with 32% upside and no experiments required.

The Magnificent 7 vs. The AI Infrastructure Play

The Magnificent 7 are expensive, cash-burning AI believers trading at 31-40x free cash flow while promising returns that might not materialize. A better bet is the companies selling them the shovels - the AI Infrastructure Compounders 7 (AIC-7), who are generating cash today while the hyperscalers burn through $417 billion this year alone.

AppLovin (APP) at $645: Extreme Valuation Demands Immediate Risk Management

AppLovin's current valuation metrics paint a clear picture of extreme overvaluation: The P/E ratio of 85-94x stands out as one of the highest in the technology sector. Even high-growth Trade Desk trades at 65x. The PEG ratio of 4.66 is particularly concerning. Traditional valuation theory suggests anything above 2.0 indicates overvaluation. This metric suggests the market is paying nearly 5x for each unit of growth, an unsustainable premium. This premium pricing requires extraordinary execution just to maintain current levels.

MU vs RMBS: The 20x Valuation Spread That’s Begging to Be Traded

Here's what the market is telling us: Micron (MU) at $163.28 trades at 29.6x earnings while Rambus (RMBS) at $103.74 commands 49.1x. That's a 20-turn premium for RMBS, pricing it like a hypergrowth SaaS company when it's actually a semiconductor IP licensor riding the same memory cycle as Micron. One company owns the fabs and makes the actual memory. The other makes interface chips and collects royalties. The market's paying 66% more in P/E terms for the latter. This is a dislocation worth exploiting.

STX vs WDC: The HAMR Trade That’s Hiding in Plain Sight

Seagate (STX) and Western Digital (WDC) are fighting for dominance in what might be the last great technology transition in HDDs: Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR). One company has a two-year lead and is already shipping to hyperscalers. The other is printing money with current-gen tech while scrambling to catch up. This isn’t a market-neutral academic exercise. This is a conviction trade on relative execution with defined risk parameters.

Snowflake: The Data Cloud’s AI Metamorphosis

With 5,200+ customers actively using AI weekly and Cortex driving 15-35% customer expansion, the company has moved beyond PowerPoint promises to actual revenue impact. But success breeds competition - Databricks is fighting back with 50/50 win rates in direct battles, hyperscalers are commoditizing data platforms, and customer FinOps teams are starting to scrutinize consumption-based pricing.
