EOD Phase 0a refresh: upstream compute demand strengthens; direct delivery-side proof remains pending

  • Type: refresh (subtype: qualitative continuity, upstream confirmation + direct-catalyst coverage gap)
  • event_id: 2026-08-13-ai-power-delivery-eod-phase-0a-refresh
  • Source: 2026-08-11-crwv-earnings; 2026-08-13-nbis-deep-dive; 2026-08-12-aosl-earnings; 2026-08-12-market-brief; 2026-08-12-NuttyCLD-as-long-as-grid-expansion-remains-difficult-in-t-17147190.
  • Shift: Primary-source CRWV/NBIS reviews improve the upstream evidence that powered-rack demand remains real, which preserves the physical need for conversion efficiency. They do not establish supplier share inside the delivery stack. AOSL remains an unconfirmed event stub, POWI's reference-design-to-bookings check remains unresolved, and the prior-close brief still treated AMAT as the next equipment checkpoint. The tracked-source onsite-generation note supports the parent bottleneck, not a direct component winner here.
  • Effect on thesis: HOLD, unchanged. Upstream demand is better evidenced; direct winners still require bookings, design-share, or filed capacity proof. Carry POWI/MPWR and AOSL/AMAT as unresolved until authoritative receipts land.
  • Per-ticker: MPWR/POWI/AOSL/AMAT — no new authoritative resolution in this pass. CRWV/NBIS — upstream context only, not key-ticker promotion evidence. No numeric tape reads in this Phase 0a entry.
