Jaimin Rangwalla
Jaimin Rangwalla is the Chief Investment Officer of Public Investments at Coatue Management, a technology-focused hedge fund, where he oversees the firm's public equities business as a Senior Managing Director. He has spent most of his career at Coatue since joining in 2007, with a brief period founding Shou Capital before rejoining in 2014. Rangwalla is best known for his analysis of AI infrastructure investment themes, including hyperscaler capital expenditure patterns, semiconductor supply dynamics, and the emerging shift from GPU scarcity to power capacity as the binding constraint on AI build-out.
“We're thinking about follow the gigawatts. And really, the gigawatt is almost the atomic unit of where the growth in AI is coming from. And it's one of the biggest shortages as well that's out there.”
Source→“They're adding $10 billion plus or minus a month, almost $2.5 billion a week. Most of the companies in the SaaS universe don't even have $2.5 billion of ARR annually. Like they're adding that in a week.”
Source→“TSMC, which is one of our largest holdings, they're taking price too. Because they just like, we have a finite amount of capacity.”
Source→“NVIDIA almost sets the standard for what the accelerator market is going to look like in terms of capabilities two years down the road.”
Source→“Elon Musk giving a stamp of approval to Intel and increasing the pace of innovation... the combination of that for a stock that, yes, it's had a big move this year, but if you think about every semiconductor company over the last four years, they're all up five, seven, 10x. It's still a laggard over any period beyond 12 months.”
Source→“Now the ratio is actually moving from one CPU to four GPUs... we think it actually has a chance to flip the opposite direction, which is one GPU to four CPUs. And so some people very aggressive say it could go to one GPU to eight CPUs.”
Source→“Amazon's done a great job. They actually have one of the most efficient CPUs, but they've always kind of kept it internally. They bought a private company that helped them do this and it has helped, I think, drive AWS success, especially as we move to CPUs.”
Source→“Google has TPUs that they sell... maybe there's room for them as well because they would be buyers of the shortage, but they could also be sellers of the shortage. And Google has been a great stock and they're vertically integrated, which makes them great.”
Source→“If memory pricing goes up 100% and Microsoft has to spend two units instead of one, they're not actually getting two units of benefit... you're just seeing like-for-like price increase go up so much.”
Source→“I never would have thought I would tell you that Samsung and Hynix together generate more cash flow than every hyperscaler. Like it's crazy.”
Source→“Boris Cherney, who's former Coatue alum, but also the founder of Cloud Code... he runs some number of agents during the day, but when he goes home, he has thousands of agents running to kind of do work all through the night before he comes back in the morning.”
Source→“Even in China, like every one of the big internet companies has their own claw concept. Like ByteDance has one, Tencent has one, Baba has one. It's amazing how quick this has taken off and I don't think people fully appreciate it.”
Source→“The gigawatt is almost the atomic unit of where the growth in AI is coming from, and it's one of the biggest shortages as well that's out there.”
“Coatue labels 2025+ the 'Claude Code Moment' and 'Agentic Big Bang.' Agents remove the human bottleneck, parallelize work 10–100x, and stretch workflows from minutes to days.”
“I actually think Amazon and Google are in an unusual camp, and those are the two companies that we really like because they are also a bit of a hybrid in that Google has TPUs that they sell, and Amazon has talked about selling Trainium.”
“The volatility we're facing now is, wow, I'm still really bullish. AI is still doing great things, but wow, some days, some of our stocks are just down 5% or 10% on for no reason.”
