How can two investors having the same stocks in their portfolio have different results?

I answer that question in my latest newsletter post

$DDOG Post results sell-side:

GS raises to $150 from $143,

"investors cognizant of its 4th consecutive quarter of positive Net New Revenue growth. Lapping of optimization headwinds, accelerating usage trends in Enterprise, stability in SMB and Digital-Natives, and healthy contributions from Gen-Al customers as positives for Datadog."

BofA maintains $155 target,

"Executing its long-term strategy to plan Datadog reported very good 2Q24 results with revenue and non-GAAP operating income above our/ Street estimates. Furthermore, the 2024 revenue and non-GAAP operating income guides were raised above the 2Q24 beats. There was positive commentary on new logo and expand activity, higher multi product adoption trends, ramping emerging products, and increasing usage from Al-native inference workloads (4%+ of ARR, up from 3.5% last quarter). The results are supportive of our long-term Buy thesis that Datadog is a share gainer"

Wells Fargo $150 target,

"Strong Q2 Results Driven by Consolidation and Platform Deals; Usage growth continues to improve, which should support continued growth at these levels."

Jim Chanos' "WallStCynic" account, with a history of great content going back more than 10 years, was not only hacked but remains hacked more than a week later

I understand why people may be sceptical about Jeremy Grantham who is often too bearish. But it never hurts to hear a different viewpoint.

The three points I agree with:

“Anyone can see that [AI] is a very serious idea, but if it doesn’t have a glorious bubble up front, and then bust, and then regroup, it will be the first such event in history. History says, that’s the pattern.”

“AI is very important, AI is serious… It’ll be with us forever and it will change life in many ways. I am not convinced it makes the market that attractive but at the moment we are in the selling shovel mode where you sell the chips to people who think they probably can use them and they should be seen to be using them and everyone is putting a lot of money into developing AI products.”

“Brilliant new idea does not mean the path is smooth. Brilliant new idea typically means the more brilliant, the more real it is, the more dollars get behind it, the bigger the bubble, the bigger the bust, and then you dig it out and you make your serious progress.”

RT @HiddenValueGems: The change in power mix in favour of renewables is driving electricity prices much higher in the US even as demand has been almost flat for the last 15 years. But with the rise of data centres, additional demand could send prices much further.

The biggest beneficiaries seem to be Independent power plants, some of which were previously bankrupt like $VST or $TLN

“PJM Interconnection — an administrator of the US regional grid stretching from the mid-Atlantic to the Midwest — held an auction for supplemental electricity to be delivered in 2025 and 2026. The clearing price was $270 per megawatt-day, nearly 10 times the level set at the last auction two years ago.”

“Talen said its winning commitments in the auction would raise its annual revenue by $670mn, or 40 per cent, with most of that falling to the bottom line as windfall profit.”
