Oracle Hits All-Time Highs; Larry Ellison Pumps AI Opportunity

“Oracle's Gen2 Cloud has quickly become the number 1 choice for running Generative AI workloads. Why? Because Oracle has the highest performance, lowest cost GPU cluster technology in the world. NVIDIA themselves are using our clusters, including one with more than 4,000 GPUs, for their AI infrastructure. Our GPU clusters are built using the highest-bandwidth and lowest-latency RDMA network—and scale up to 32,000 GPUs. As a result, cutting edge companies doing LLM development such as Mosaic ML, Adept AI, Cohere plus 30 other AI development companies have recently signed contracts to purchase more than $2 billion of capacity in Oracle's Gen2 Cloud.” – Chairman and CTO Larry Ellison

FDA Accepts License Application for Vertex Pharma’s and CRISPR Therapeutics’ Key Investigational Treatment

 Image: Vertex's pipeline is impressive. We like its areas of focus and the progress it continues to make with key therapies in CRISPR and pain management.
The combination of robust financials and a tremendous pipeline of game-changing therapeutics from exa-cel to VX-548 makes Vertex Pharma a no-brainer idea for the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio, in our view. Vertex Pharma's shares are up nearly 18% so far in 2023, and we think its long term remains very bright. The company's dominance in CF gives it moaty economic characteristics, while the possible launch of as many as five new products in the next five years offers tremendous promise. Vertex Pharma's risk-reward situation continues to be skewed positively in investors' favor.

Apple’s 'Vision Pro' Not in Our Valuation Model; Expect Upside
Jun 7, 2023
-
 Image: Apple released its first major product since the Apple Watch in the Vision Pro on June 5. The device opens the door to the era of spatial computing and is priced at $3,499.
Apple unveiled its Vision Pro at the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference on June 5. We were impressed with the new major product launch, its first since the release of the Apple Watch nearly a decade ago but estimating the total market opportunity for a $3,499 device is a difficult one. The Vision Pro will be available in early 2024 and will compete in many areas with the Meta Quest, and we expect Apple’s annual numbers come next year to be impressive. The market for high-end consumer devices is a large one, and from what we can tell, the number of possible applications of the Vision Pro are many. We’re not making any changes to our valuation of Apple until we get a better feel for just how big of a needle-mover the Vision Pro will be, but we expect to raise our fair value estimate of Apple. The company has another winner on its hands, in our view.
