This video provides an analysis of Nvidia's strong Q3 earnings, followed by a discussion of three stocks the speaker is actively accumulating amid market volatility: MercadoLibre, Brookfield Corporation, and Meta Platforms.
Nvidia reported record revenue and accelerating year-over-year growth, yet the speaker maintains a bearish stance due to extreme valuation multiples and significant customer concentration risk. Viral criticisms regarding Nvidia's cash flow statement are explicitly rejected by the speaker, who provides a correct interpretation of rising accounts receivables and inventory spend as indicators of high, accelerating demand.
The stock picks are positioned as fundamentally sound businesses currently discounted or offering strong growth at reasonable cost: MercadoLibre is seen as oversold despite accelerating growth in Latin American e-commerce/fintech; Brookfield Corporation is highlighted for its new $100B AI infrastructure fund partnership with Nvidia, promising high future cash flows; and Meta Platforms is added as a new position, deemed undervalued based on operating cash flow metrics, with its massive capex spending justified by high, profitable returns on AI investments.
Nvidia Earnings Review and Investment Strategy
1:04 Nvidia's Q3 Performance: Revenue reached a record $57 billion (up 22% quarter-over-quarter, 62% year-over-year). Data Center revenue accelerated to 66% Y/Y growth, reaching $51.2 billion.
3:49 Q4 Outlook: Nvidia forecasts $65 billion (Β±2%) in Q4 revenue, implying 85% Y/Y growth acceleration, but a slight sequential deceleration compared to the $10 billion net revenue added in Q3.
4:37 Jensen Huang's Thesis: The CEO claims the AI transition is in its "early innings," with $500 billion revenue visibility through calendar year 2026. Cloud capacity remains "sold out," indicating demand continues to exceed supply.
8:05 Skepticism on NVDA Stock: The speaker does not own Nvidia due to its high valuation (24x Sales, 57.5x Free Cash Flow) and extreme customer concentration risk (four hyperscalers account for over 60% of revenue). Hyperscalers (Amazon, Google) are actively working to reduce reliance on Nvidia by developing internal chips (e.g., Google's TPUs).
8:40 Debunking Financial Critics: The speaker dismisses viral claims that rising Accounts Receivables (AR) and declining Operating Cash Flow (OCF) are signs of a "manufactured beat." As far as I can tell, this criticism is fundamentally flawed; the increase in AR ($5.58B) and significant investment in inventory ($10B) correctly signals escalating demand and expectations of future cash flow.
Stocks Actively Being Purchased
17:28 Stock 1: MercadoLibre (MELI): Actively buying, noting the stock is in a roughly 30% correction despite accelerating fundamentals (39% Y/Y revenue growth).
Takeaway: MELI is undervalued; it continues to strengthen its leadership in Latin American e-commerce and fintech (Fintech segment revenue is nearly 80% the size of $76B Nubank). Temporary operating margin impacts from reducing free shipping thresholds are strategic moves to increase competitive advantage.
26:02 Stock 2: Brookfield Corporation (BN): Continuously buying to maintain a target portfolio allocation of 25%.
Details: BN launched a $100 billion global AI infrastructure platform in partnership with Nvidia. Projects $53 billion in Free Cash Flow (FCF) over the next five years and 25% annual growth in Distributable Earnings Per Share (DEPS) through 2030.
Takeaway: The stock looks cheap (DCF Fair Value ~$68 vs. current price ~$43); management and strategy are world-class, focused on non-volatile, essential AI infrastructure assets (energy, land, data centers).
31:54 Stock 3: Meta Platforms (META): New position; the previous sale was a "mistake." The stock is down despite strong Q3 results (26% revenue growth, fastest among hyperscalers).
Valuation: Trades at 13.8x Operating Cash Flow, significantly below its historical average (~18x).
Capex Justification: CEO Mark Zuckerberg explicitly states the massive capital expenditure is justified because the company is constantly "capacity constrained" and the AI investments yield highly profitable returns, accelerating core business growth (e.g., improved ad conversion and increased time spent on apps).
Takeaway: I estimate that even assuming pessimistic 12% annual OCF growth and a low 15x multiple, the stock could produce market-beating returns (DCF Fair Value ~$778). The market appears to be incorrectly fearful of necessary, productive investments.
