Is Nvidia just one slice of a much bigger AI investment story? CEO Jensen Huang describes artificial intelligence as a five-layer cake: energy, chips, infrastructure, models and applications. Michelle Martin speaks with Brandon Ho, CFA, Head of Investment Advisory Singapore, to unpack where companies including Constellation Energy, TSMC, Broadcom, Micron, Microsoft, Alphabet, Palantir and ServiceNow fit within the stack. Which layers are already translating AI demand into revenues and profits? Where are valuations relying heavily on future expectations?
