Congrats to $NBIS shareholders. Don't call Citron just a "short seller." Citron was THE FIRST market commentator of any kind to put $NBIS in front of investors. December 2024 in the low $20s , when the stock had just resumed trading after two-plus years suspended as Yandex, the name carried ZERO Wall Street coverage. Citron called it "the AI Wall Street darling." Last week it printed an all-time high and was added to the Nasdaq-100. And yes , Citron sold way too soon.

Today I was found guilty. Amongst other things, for recommending Tesla, Nvidia and Meta back in 2018. Not once did anyone say I lied. The government’s own agent admitted it on the stand. There were no false statements. So now a truthful opinion that ends up making money is illegal. Is this America? We disagree with the jury and this does not stop here. We will keep fighting for free, honest speech and opportunity, the backbone of this country. This is not over.

$CEPT.. Next week is Milken Conference, and for the past decade way too many panels have prophesied the tokenization of real-world assets is the future It was the whole blockchain thesis. Well, the future arrived and one company is signing every marquee deal in the space, yet the stock refuses to budge. Sleeping giant? Or do we wake up one morning to find this thing bid up aggressively after the market finally connects the dots? Can't fault management , they are executing and locking in the right partners. Citron remains long for the asymmetric risk/reward. If tokenization is the real deal, CEPT is how you own it.

$AMZN because being asked have to add to the dialogue ..yes still long and added this morning. World Dominance! Simplest trade on the board: if capex fears hit the group, AMZN rockets on FCF. If the chip trade keeps running, Wall Street wakes up to Trainium and re-rates the hidden silicon business inside AWS. Citron has been saying it — AMZN is the cheapest way to own the ASIC trade. This sucker has a long way to go!

$NOK — why comps make it a $20 stock TODAY, not someday! Before we talk about Nokia, Citron owes readers an apology. We've been too negative on the AI data center trade. We missed it and called tops way too early. Here's what has been learned: the best trade isn't shorting the stocks that already tripled. It's finding the one the market hasn't figured out yet. That's Nokia. Who cares that it is a 52 week high....looks like it is going higher While telecom analysts are still valuing Nokia as a slow-growth utility. However, with the Network Infrastructure segment now targeting 18%–20% growth in Optical/IP, the narrative is shifting toward a high performance hardware play. The whole story in plain English Nokia makes the equipment that moves data between AI data centers. As AI grows, those highways need to get wider and faster. Nokia builds the highways. A year ago, Nokia bought a company called Infinera , which meant Nokia went from reselling other people's chips to owning its own chip factories. That's a huge deal. Every other company in this space that owns their own chips (Lumentum, Coherent) trades at a massive premium. Nokia doesn't yet. The market hasn't caught on. Nokia also hired a new CEO last year Justin Hotard, who came straight from running Intel's AI business. This is not a telecom guy. This is an AI guy now running Nokia. And in October, Nokia signed a $1 billion partnership with NVIDIA that came with an investment. Last $NVDA investment Citron told you about was $NBIS when it was $20 a share...yes ! Now the numbers. Nokia management has literally told investors what the company will earn in 2028. Add it up and you get roughly 50 cents per share in earnings by 2028. That's their number, not ours. Here's the thing nobody's doing the math on: every other AI infrastructure stock is already priced based on what they'll earn in 2028. Ciena trades at 49 times those earnings. Coherent at 46 times. Apply the same math to Nokia 50 cents times 49 and the stock is worth $24.50 right now. Today!! And here's gravy. On last week's earnings call, the CEO said , out of nowhere, nobody asked — "a big milestone later this year with NVIDIA." Seven Wall Street analysts were on that call. None of them followed up. None of them asked what he meant. When Lumentum got its NVIDIA moment, the stock went from $49 to $960. Nokia just told you its NVIDIA moment is coming this year. And the stock hasn't moved. That's the whole trade. Nokia is the AI infrastructure stock the market forgot to reprice. Missed the first wave of this. We're not missing the second.

Is $INFQ the steal of the century vs $RGTI the walking dead?? Quantinuum , the leader of the quantum going public at a rumored $20B market cap. Asked Claude to rank every public quantum name on quality 1-10 and value them against that anchor. Who doesnt use a cheat sheet. Unbiased. Love the adjectives. Of course unlock....just saying.

$AMZN — what part of world domination does the market still not get as they acquire $GSAT? Spectrum, AI Chips, Data centers, Robotics, Logistics, and oh that little delivery business we all just love called Amazon. Did not even include an ad biz that does almost 2x that of Tik Tok and growing faster than $META $AMZN Trading at 30x earnings against a 5-year average P/E of 48x and a 10-year average north of 60x. Market still not giving credit to them owning the future! Apply the 5 year average multiple to forward earnings and $300 isn't a hope it is simple math.

$AAOI , the short thesis this morning still holds, as for trading, this large piece of art hangs on wall in my office. Markets reward discipline, not emotion. Shorting demands patience, precision, humility, and most of all risk control Euphoria is temporary. Reality is not. No one said this was easy, despite what you read on X. Still short $AAOI.

Citron Short $AAOI- The anti-$LITE Two weeks ago $AAOI was $85. Today it's $140. $3.5B in market cap added on a random press release. This stock should trade back to $85 once the roulette wheel stops spinning (which would still put it above consensus) Let's be clear about something. Citron is not an AI bear. Long $GLW, the fiber backbone every hyperscaler buys more of regardless of which architecture wins. Respect $LITE, Nvidia's chosen partner with real profits and real backlog. GLW is reasonable. LITE is expensive. AAOI is delusional. And the customer tells you everything. LITE's anchor is Nvidia , $2 billion invested directly into their supplier, booked solid through 2028, balance sheet that could fund a small country. AAOI's anchor is Oracle , 30,000 layoffs, $100 billion in debt, negative free cash flow, and a flagship data center expansion that just fell apart over financing. One company picks winners. The other is desperately trying not to be a loser. ONE NUMBER ENDS DEBATE!! Nvidia at its peak as THE monopoly in AI chips with $200 billion in annual profits peaked at 40x forward earnings at the height of AI bubble euphoria. And Nvidia earned that multiple with 75% gross margins, monopoly pricing, and no real competition. AAOI trades at 112x forward earnings, nearly three times peak bubble Nvidia, with 31% gross margins, heavy capex, one customer, and zero pricing power. To justify 112x you need Nvidia-like margins. AAOI has commodity hardware margins that are one Innolight price cut away from making their already imaginary path to profitability a permanent moving target. You are paying beyond monopoly multiples for commodity economics , backed by the most leveraged, most financially stressed customer in the hyperscaler food chain. Could write pages about the Amazon warrants and the execution risks and accounting but why confuse an obvious story. Expensive has a defense. Delusional does not.

Too Compelling Not to Comment. $AMZN $300 Citron has followed $AMZN for 25 years. Today is the game changer where the ridiculous discount to $WMT multiple should close. For 4 years the market rewarded $WMT for stability and punished $AMZN for capex. Walmart looked like the adult in the room. Today, Jassy just showed you what that capex built….F$&@ ME! The most serious threat to NVIDIA's semiconductor dominance ever created. Amazon. $50 billion standalone revenue run rate. Triple digit growth. Trainium4 not even shipping and already sold out. Two customers tried to buy ALL of Graviton capacity for 2026. Amazon said no! This is another trillion dollar company hidden inside $AMZN. This does not exist in a single sell side model. Not one. The market spent 4 years punishing Amazon for building this. Now it's built. And $WMT still trades at 45x earnings for 4% revenue growth while $AMZN sits at 26x forward. $WMT sells potato chips. 45x earnings. $AMZN sells AI chips. 26x forward earnings. (And they do sell a lot of potato chips.) The chips are sold out. The multiples have to flip. F$&@ $WMT. $AMZN. $300.

$VCX — Saw CEO Ben Miller on TV calling this a “PR smear campaign” and saying critics are “talking up nonsense.” Basic math isn’t a smear—and it isn’t nonsense. 1+1+1 ≠ 25. Meanwhile, borrow is ~900%. You can’t stay short. So who’s collecting that—shareholders or the bank? Shoutout @BeckyQuick for actually calling it straight.

Citron is Short $SNDK — They Don't Ring a Bell at the Top We don't need Anthropic to announce they're making NAND. Samsung is already the 800-pound gorilla, and they've been running this playbook for 30 years. While TV pundits pound the table herding retail into cattle cars, Western Digital, the long time investor, sold a significant portion of its holdings days ago, 25% lower. Ask yourself why. Because they know the cycle is approaching a peak, and they're not waiting for the bell. The market is pricing SanDisk like it's $NVDA. There's one problem: NVIDIA has a moat. SanDisk sells a commodity. We've seen this movie before 2008, 2012, 2018. It's never different this time. Memory is a cycle, and cycles peak. Samsung has a 30-year history of choosing market share over margins. They wait for pure-plays like SanDisk to get comfortable at 50% gross margins, then flip the switch. But this time it's worse. Every $SNDK bull should read attached article Samsung just told the world they won't sell anything under 50% margins and they're moving their best chips into the same premium SSD market SanDisk calls home. They're not just the capacity gorilla anymore. They're going after SanDisk's best customers with cheaper, newer technology. And the only thing keeping supply tight right now? Samsung's temporary yield problems in another product line. That bottleneck has an expiration date. With double the capacity of the 2018 peak waiting in the wings, this "shortage" is a supply mirage that can vanish in a single earnings call. Hockey shout-out: Shorting $SNDK is skating to where the puck is going. By the time the cycle normalizes, this stock will already be much lower.
