Heavy-asset stocks hedge AI disruption
The speakers argued that companies with heavy physical assets and low obsolescence risk provide a hedge against AI disruption while simultaneously capturing AI-driven industrial demand.
The argument
The hosts discussed the launch of the Halo ETF (LOHA), highlighting holdings like Cummins and Southern Copper. They argued that these businesses cannot be easily disrupted by software or AI, yet many of their industrial and material outputs directly benefit from the broader AI infrastructure build-out.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Continued earnings growth in industrial and copper sectors
- ✓Sustained capital expenditure in AI data center build-outs benefiting heavy equipment makers
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸High concentration in industrials (36% of the portfolio)
- ▸Potential valuation normalization if AI-related industrial tailwinds fade
Hear it yourself
"All of the people who are going to be speaking positively about it, not only are they extremely long, but they're long from pennies. They own this thing, I don't know, from from seven years ago, nine years ago, ten years ago. It's peep yeah. People with a cost basis that it's almost they almost own the stock for free, and that's a very important point. This is not as though venture capitalists or Wall Street players participated in, like, a series d round two weeks ago at roughly an equivalent valuation. We're talking about people who are up huge."
