Daily Brief United States: NVIDIA Corp, Silver, BETA Technologies, Fiserv, Lululemon Athletica, Vicor Corp, Crude Oil, Ford Motor Co, Johnson & Johnson, James River Group Holdings and more

• Nvidia CEO said he has a $500bn AI order book. If over the next 7 quarters, it means growth will remain at ~60% YoY till Apr-27. No slowdown. That’s possible.
• If it’s over the next 5 quarters (which is what he actually said), it’s enormous growth reaching ~200% YoY in 2H26. I doubt that the supply chain can do that.
• Consensus is the lowest with most room for upside: Memory stocks. Consensus too low by ~20%: Nvidia. Just a it too low: TSMC.

• After an extraordinary run, SLV’s pullback appears orderly as implied volatility cools yet remains high by historical standards.
• We examine how this bull market in Silver compares with previous bull market spanning 50 years.
• We also look at market participation to identify what’s been driving the recent price action.

• Each aircraft is projected to produce roughly $13 million in lifetime revenue at a 50% margin, driven largely by recurring battery replacement and service contracts.

• The potential for Beta Technologies as a company is immense in a market with few operators. The critical story surrounding the recurring battery-driven economics makes this IPO highly-intriguing.
