Renowned Silicon Valley investor: SpaceX is a must-buy and must-hold future bet for institutional investors
BlockBeats reported that on June 16, in the latest episode of the BG2 podcast, Brad Gerstner described SpaceX as a "must buy, must hold" asset for institutional investors, reasoning that the company simultaneously sits at the forefront of both the space economy and the expansion of artificial intelligence computing power.
BG2 is a Silicon Valley investment community podcast focused on technology, markets, investment, and capitalism. It is hosted by Altimeter founder and CEO Brad Gerstner and former Benchmark General Partner Bill Gurley. Gerstner himself is a technology growth stock investor who has long focused on cloud computing, AI, and high-growth technology companies.
Gerstner stated that if investors believe in the direction of AGI, they must accept the premise that the scale of computing power required worldwide will far exceed current market expectations, and the economic value created by large models in the future will surpass most people's imagination. In his view, combining this assessment with SpaceX's core business makes it difficult to find another company or entrepreneur that offers a more direct future bet.
Regarding disputes over the valuation of a potential IPO, Gerstner said that skeptics are focused on SpaceX’s revenue from last year and investment banks' forecasts of substantial revenue growth over the next three years, questioning whether many companies can achieve several-fold expansion in three to four years.
However, he believes that if you break down the business using first principles, Starlink, ground-based AI computing power, and the model business after the Cursor acquisition all could support this growth trajectory. Gerstner also mentioned that after SpaceX signed new deals, its valuation multiple dropped from about 100 times past revenue to approximately 39 times, and noted that the company added about $29 billion in new orders within a month, which he considers extremely rare.

BUZZ - Market Dynamics: Analysts are increasingly optimistic about Lamb Weston’s outlook
On October 7th, Lamb Weston (LW.N) raised its annual sales and profit forecasts on Tuesday, citing sustained strong demand for frozen potato products from fast-food restaurants, after the company outperformed expectations in the first quarter. The median target price from 13 brokerages is $55—data compiled by LSEG. The North American market drove the better-than-expected results. Jefferies (maintains "Buy" rating; target price: $60) highlighted that Lamb Weston's growth momentum in North America remains strong, thanks to new customer acquisition, expansion in faster-growing chicken quick-service chains, and improved pricing levels. Additionally, due to potato crop reduction, plant closures, and tightening supply, the European market is improving, boosting international business profit margins. TD Cowen ("Hold," target price: $52) noted that stronger-than-expected North American performance and confidence in contract pricing have eased market concerns regarding freight costs and weakened customer traffic from restaurant clients like McDonald's (MCD.N). Morningstar stated that crop failures in Europe might help rebalance the oversupplied market; despite the recent stock rebound, the share is still considered undervalued.
