AI data center boom demands power — where the opportunity lies now
With stocks near highs but cracks showing, here’s where reward outweighs risk—and what to avoid.
Market Pulse – Thursday, October 9
While AI gets the headlines, the unsung battle is behind the scenes: power, cooling, and grid capacity. As AI data centers expand aggressively, the electrical infrastructure must keep up. Deloitte forecasts U.S. AI data center power demand could grow more than thirty‑fold by 2035. Deloitte Meanwhile, AI infrastructure investment is already growing at ~23–24% CAGR globally. GlobeNewswire The pieces are aligning for a new wave of capital into utilities, battery / grid tech, and colocation services.

Opportunities to Watch
Grid & Substation Tech
Companies deploying advanced transformers, smart grid sensors, modular substations, and microgrid controllers may get pulled in by demand growth.Battery / Energy Storage & Demand Management
With AI centers needing stable, clean power, battery firms (both short-term buffer and long-duration) and demand-response / load-balancing players become more relevant.Cooling & Thermal Management / HVAC
As compute racks densify, liquid cooling, immersion cooling, advanced HVAC systems, and waste-heat recovery tech may see accelerating adoption.Edge / Colocation / Micro Data Centers
Localized compute nodes reduce latency. Smaller players enabling edge compute capacity in underserved regions may gain interest.

Risks & What to Watch Out For
Regulation & permitting delays—power infrastructure often faces red tape.
Capex vs. ROI mismatches — high build cost and long lead times.
Commodity input risk — copper, rare metals, and components may face supply constraints.
Electricity cost pressures — if power is expensive in a given region, it undercuts margins.
Bottom Line
Don’t just chase AI compute names—follow the plumbing. As data centers multiply, the power backbone is the gatekeeper. This is a stealth opportunity in infrastructure, thermal tech, and energy optimization.
Do you own this doomed AI stock?
If you own this beloved tech stock, your portfolio may be in for a world of pain.
It’s a new, urgent “SELL ALERT” from the Wall Street veteran who warned his 800,000+ followers around the world to sell:
Fiverr (FVRR) before it fell 86%...
RingCentral (RNG) before it plunged 89%...
And Beyond Meat (BYND) before it crashed 90%...
Along with dozens of others. See his free warning now.
The average loss for the stocks he warned about one year was 76%.
And he says believes this beloved AI stock could be the next Wall Street Darling to devastate main street investors before the end of the year.
He told me,
“This stock was once regarded as an early pioneer of the AI revolution. Now I predict it’s headed straight into a buzzsaw.
I believe some novice investors will see the name and ticker of this company and instantly BUY, purely due to hype. That’s what makes it one of the most - if not the most - dangerous stock in the market today.”
