2026-07-08-ai-compute-landlords-industry-report - Shift: The complex-wide 10-33% monthly drawdown repriced the financing model, not demand — the lane's balance-sheet split is now an explicit 8-name desk-call slate (buy-on-trigger IREN/NBIS, watch WULF/APLD, pass CRWV/CIFR/CORZ/HUT).
- Effect on thesis: First origination-mode slate in the lane: every landlord name now carries an on-the-record stance with triggers; call-check watches the entries nightly.
- Per-ticker: IREN ↑ (buy above 44.50). NBIS ↑ (buy above 217). WULF → (watch, Q2 print). APLD → (watch, margin hold). CRWV ↓ (pass, leverage). CIFR ↓ (pass). CORZ ↓ (pass). HUT ↓ (pass).
