"The fund targets the picks-and-shovels of that buildout: turbine manufacturers, transformer suppliers, switchgear, AI compute, and the cloud platforms generating the load."
"Every dollar Microsoft and Alphabet commit to data centers cascades into orders for gas turbines, transformers, switchgear, and GPUs."
"A flat-to-down sequential capex print from two of the four would be the signal that the buildout is throttling."
"When hyperscaler capex paused in 2022 and early 2023, power-equipment names traded sideways for nine months despite intact long-term demand."
The Tema Electrification ETF (VOLT) targets companies involved in the infrastructure buildout for hyperscalers, which are signing large power contracts. VOLT has seen significant growth, trading up 35% year to date and 78% over the past year. The fund's performance is closely tied to hyperscaler capital expenditures, particularly from major players like Microsoft and Alphabet. Monitoring quarterly capex disclosures from these companies is essential, as a decline could signal a slowdown in the infrastructure buildout, impacting VOLT's performance.
