Nvidia Surge; Salesforce and Crowdstrike Upside Moves

- 1Nvidia forecasts roughly 70% revenue growth, but supply constraints may prevent it from expanding even faster.

Don't miss
Nvidia’s roughly 70% revenue-growth forecast is paired with the possibility that supply constraints could prevent even faster expansion.
The brief
Nvidia forecasts roughly 70% revenue growth, yet the central question is whether supply constraints—not demand—will limit the AI boom’s next phase.
Salesforce and CrowdStrike move higher on stronger outlooks, while Salesforce’s deeper Anthropic partnership helps counter fears of a broad software-sector slowdown.
The market discussion turns on a tension investors cannot avoid: AI demand remains powerful, but margins, supply, and durable growth still face scrutiny.
A separate Economy of Scale segment previews Dubai’s response to rapid population growth, using long-term planning, technology, and AI to make urban development more adaptive.
Taken together, the episode links two forms of expansion: companies scaling AI infrastructure and cities redesigning systems to absorb faster growth.
