Dan Ives Calls AI Trade 'Third Inning' as Monetization Wave Begins

Yahoo Finance ·

Yorkville Ives partner Dan Ives recently described the artificial intelligence revolution as being in the third inning of a nine-inning game, with Nvidia remaining at the center of the movement. Moving beyond social media hype, Ives pointed to tangible businesses like CoreWeave and Cisco as vital puzzle pieces, showing that capital expenditures are expanding from raw chips into cloud platforms and critical data-routing hardware. As the industry transitions from initial infrastructure setup to actual monetization—highlighted by AI offerings from Microsoft, Meta, and Palantir—investors are witnessing a powerful multiplier effect. According to Ives, every single dollar spent on Nvidia hardware ultimately generates between $8 and $10 across broader tech segments including storage, networking, cloud services, and software, proving that the multi-layered AI trade still has significant room to run.

Dan Ives of Wedbush analyzed that the AI revolution is still in the top of the 3rd inning, and the investment market has entered a full-scale monetization phase beyond infrastructure spending. Every $1 invested in NVDA GPUs generates an additional spending multiplier effect of $8 to $10 across upstream and downstream industries such as storage, networking, and software. Investors need to expand their portfolios beyond chipmakers to cloud, networking equipment, and AI software companies.

DYAX 전담 분석

As AI infrastructure spending spreads from data centers and clouds to enterprise software monetization, the visibility of revenue growth for related companies is increasing. This, combined with commercialization achievements such as MSFT's Copilot and META's AI agents, will drive sequential earnings improvements.

The bullish scenario is that the AI investment multiplier effect accelerates, leading to a surge in software and cloud sector earnings, while the bearish scenario is valuation pressure due to delayed monetization relative to excessive Capital Expenditures (CapEx). Key monitoring indicators are big tech's AI-related revenue share and data center networking equipment order volumes.
