    tae kim@firstadopterAltimeter – State of the Markets – September 15, 2026 - All-In Summit 2026 – Brad Gerstner -Earnings growth carrying the market. Multiples are falling -Energy, tech, chips dominating YTD. Consumer and software lagging. -Hyperscaler capex flowing to semiconductor FCF -Single most important datapoint is Anthropic and OpenAI monthly annualized revenue -SemiAnalysis 43GWs forecast next year too aggressive. Brad thinks 25GWs (1/2 of that is for OpenAI/Anthropic) -10 year going to 5.5% would be a burden on equity markets -Don’t YOLO. Don’t be 4X levered, very dangerous. Don’t be like the guy who gave all his money to Citadel -He’s medium positioned. If frontier lab ARR strong + oil prices go down, he’ll add more stocks. If not, he will take exposure off.20d
