IVES: Too Big Tech Focused — Positive

IVES   Seeking Alpha — August 15, 2025

Dan Ives' AI Revolution ETF is heavily weighted toward big tech, betting these giants will lead the AI boom. I see IVES as less risky than ARKK but less diversified and more expensive than QQQ, with missed opportunities in crypto and infrastructure. For tech exposure with lower fees and greater diversification, I recommend QQQ over IVES, given its proven track record and lower risk.

Powell Industries: Limited Upside As Growth Fizzles — Positive

POWL   Seeking Alpha — August 15, 2025

POWL has had an amazing run, thanks to the robust historical top-line growth and the ongoing profit margin expansion, thanks to the strategic made-in-US offerings. The same has been observed in the growing multi-year backlog and the higher book-to-bill ratio, as the management monetizes the ongoing AI/ data center/ LNG capex boom. Even so, with POWL's YTD FY2025 performance demonstrating a decelerating growth profile, it is uncertain if there is any more upside potential ahead.
