  • Shift: Coatue's 'Amazon and Google are in an unusual camp' framing reproduces empirically: among the 5 'buyers of shortage,' silicon-owners (AMZN Trainium, GOOGL TPU) average +18.9% YTD vs no-silicon (META, ORCL, MSFT Cobalt/Maia early-stage) at −7.1% — a 26 pp intra-cohort spread. The 'hyperscaler captures shortage premium via in-house silicon' frame is now a named sub-thesis layer under this perspective, not a standalone perspective.
  • Effect on thesis: Add sub-thesis layer: hyperscaler-silicon-capture. Coverage stays consolidated under ai-power-bottleneck rather than forking a new perspective. Promotion gate: if Q2/Q3 2026 hyperscaler earnings show MSFT Cobalt/Maia revenue closing the −7.1% gap, or if a 3rd silicon-owner emerges, convert to standalone perspective. AMZN/GOOG already in mag7+cloud; no new watchlist additions needed.
  • Per-ticker: AMZN ↑ (Trainium = shortage-premium internalizer; clean empirical signal +15.4% YTD vs no-silicon mean). GOOGL ↑ (in-house silicon — same mechanism; +22.4% YTD). META ↓ (no in-house silicon; sits in the negative-YTD no-silicon cohort). ORCL ↓ (no in-house silicon, sits in no-silicon cohort even with OpenAI buildout). MSFT ↓ (Cobalt/Maia early; sub-thesis predicts future re-rate if revenue ramps).
