AI Cooling and Industrial Layer Thesis
The industrial layer beneath compute, including liquid cooling, transformers, and switchgear, is structurally short and structurally undervalued.
Why this matters
Investors price the model layer obsessively and ignore the equipment that actually makes data centres run. The supply of transformers, switchgear, and liquid cooling at hyperscale specification is constrained, and the lead times are years.
Where I focus
- Liquid cooling at rack and facility scale
- Transformer manufacturing capacity in stable jurisdictions
- Specialist switchgear and electrical equipment
- Industrial operators serving hyperscale buyers under long contracts
