Building a celebrated restaurant group in New Jersey is already an accomplishment. Bringing that success across the Hudson to New York City is another challenge entirely—one many restaurateurs never even attempt. But Sidharth Sharma and Sammeer A. Raajpal were determined to try.With Kidilum, their celebration of Kerala cuisine in Manhattan, they are betting that the same commitment to hospitality and showing guests a wonderful time that fueled their success in New Jersey can also resonate in New York.Sidharth and Sammeer join Adam on this episode of The Buildout to discuss how they built their restaurant group, why they were confident their approach would translate to New York City, and what it takes to make the leap into one of the world's most competitive dining markets.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastKidilum: https://www.instagram.com/kidilum.nycVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.

AI's enormous capital requirements are reshaping the way companies tap credit markets. Our Chief Fixed Income Strategist Vishy Tirupattur takes stock of this summer's key financing developments. Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Vishy Tirupattur: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. Today: Why the summer of 2026 is all about AI Financing and the evolution of credit markets. It is Friday August 21st at 2pm in New York. The summer of 2026 may ultimately be remembered not for a new model release or a breakthrough chip, but for developments in AI financing that highlighted how quickly capital markets are adapting to the demands of the AI buildout. The starting point of our analysis remains unchanged: the demand for compute continues to outstrip supply of compute, resulting in upward revisions in AI infrastructure capex expectations as hyperscalers commit additional capital to secure future capacity. Our equity research colleagues now estimate that the total capex for the four largest hyperscalers will rise 57 percent in 2027 versus 2026. These spending plans reflect growing conviction that such investments can generate 25 percent plus returns on invested capital. At the same time, the lag between capex deployment and monetization continues to pressure near-term cash generation, with our analysts' 2027 free cash flow estimates for the four hyperscalers continuing to move lower. To a credit analyst, what this means is that the result is a widening financing gap in 2027. That means AI-related credit issuance will remain substantial and may even need to increase further before cash flows from these investments begin to catch up. Developments in credit spreads this summer have been equally telling. Credit spreads for hyperscalers have widened meaningfully. More notable even than the absolute level of widening is the divergence across financing channels. For example, spread widening was most pronounced in unsecured bonds, where issuance volumes accelerated sharply and investors remained exposed to a broader range of risks tied to the AI investment cycle. By contrast, spread widening in data center ABS and CMBS was much more modest. These structures are backed by operating assets that have already been constructed, powered, and leased, with contractual cash flows largely established. Combined with a more measured pace of issuance, these characteristics helped insulate securitized credit products from the volatility seen in unsecured credit markets. The divergence across credit markets also reflects the differences in issuer incentives and sensitivity to funding costs, which will shape issuance volumes going forward. At the higher end of the quality spectrum, the major hyperscalers, with average ratings of roughly AA, combine substantial financing needs with significant ratings flexibility. Given their ROIC expectations, these issuers are relatively insensitive to modest changes in borrowing costs. Higher funding costs alone are unlikely to materially slow capital raising by the highest-quality participants in the AI ecosystem. The opposite is true further down the quality spectrum. Lower quality hyperscalers and data center developers, including former bitcoin miners and REITs, have less balance-sheet flexibility and lower tolerance for higher funding costs. For these borrowers, wider spreads represent a more meaningful constraint, making funding costs a natural stabilizer of future supply. The next phase of AI financing is also likely to look quite a bit different as incremental capex shifts from data center shells toward compute equipment, particularly servers and chips, as well as energy assets. While some of these assets have already been financed through high-yield bonds and leveraged loans, compute infrastructure is particularly well-suited to asset-level financing, creating a larger role for private capital. The emergence of large-scale component financing is likely to be enabled by the highest-quality issuers flexing their ratings as well as balance-sheet strength. We expect these issuers to increasingly provide backstops, credit support arrangements, and residual value guarantees, helping private capital underwrite ever-larger pools of AI infrastructure assets. As AI scales from a technology cycle into a capital cycle, understanding the nuances of financing is becoming increasingly important. In the next phase of the AI buildout, understanding the flow of capital may prove nearly as important as understanding the flow of innovation itself. AI is no longer just a technology story. It is increasingly a capital markets story as well. Thanks for listening.

New York Distilling Company was born out of New York's cocktail renaissance. Founded by Allen Katz, an entrepreneur obsessed with cocktails and the bars creating them, the distillery was built as a brand for New York bartenders.Katz also turned New York Distilling into a destination for the liquid-curious, creating a hands-on experience in Williamsburg where both aficionados and novices could learn more about spirits and cocktails. Since its founding, the brand has become a mainstay behind bars across New York, but Katz always believed it could become something bigger. That ambition ultimately led him to sell the company this past year.Allen joins Adam on this episode of The Buildout to discuss founding one of New York State's first distilleries after Prohibition, building the brand, and preparing it to go global.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastNew York Distilling: https://www.instagram.com/nydistillingAllen Katz: https://www.instagram.com/nydistillerymanVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.

Checkout the WAWD Substack: https://whatarewedoingonthedesk.substack.com/ Dan Nathan welcomes Vincent Daniel, partner at Seawolf Capital and one of the investors who called the 2008 housing crash, for a deep dive into where markets stand heading into year-end. They break down new Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh's "immaculate economy" problem, why passive fund flows are quietly the most powerful force in the market, and the hedge-fund blowup that briefly rattled the S&P. From there, Dan and Vincent get into the real meat of the episode: the new wave of GPU-backed financing deals from Nvidia, Apollo, and Blackstone, why Vincent thinks the AI trade is less a Ponzi scheme and more a "debt-infield CapEx initiative," and where the credit risk is really hiding. They also debate capital availability, return on invested capital, which software names survive the AI shakeout, and whether this all ends up looking more like the dot-com bust or the GFC. Plus: an unprompted case for why Vincent should be the next GM of the Mets. —FOLLOW USYouTube: @RiskReversalMediaInstagram: @riskreversalmediaTwitter: @RiskReversalLinkedIn: RiskReversal Media The financial opinions expressed in Risk Reversal content are for information purposes only.

"We've seen a strong shift in company selling compute versus buying compute," says Noah Kann. He points out Alphabet (GOOGL) signaling negative free cash flow in earnings and its following stock sell-off as an example. Noah says it's all about the race to create the first "true" AI model that will generate phenomenal profits. Nvidia (NVDA) and several financial firms seek to finance $500 billion to AI infrastructure as a way to ease these woes, giving the Mag 7 giant a "kingmaker" role.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Opening a restaurant in New York is difficult, even when the people behind it come from one of the best restaurants in the world.When Cedric Nicaise and chef Andy Quinn set out to open The Noortwyck, they wanted to create a true West Village neighborhood restaurant—something very different from the three-Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park, where they had both previously worked. But building the restaurant has not been easy, a reality Cedric is refreshingly candid about. Some days, he admits, it can still feel nearly impossible.At the same time, The Noortwyck created the opportunity for them to open Oriana, their more approachable take on fine dining, which is already attracting attention and acclaim.Cedric joins Adam on this episode of The Buildout to discuss learning from mistakes, the importance of service and hospitality, and what restaurant critics get right—and wrong—about the dining experience.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastOriana: https://www.instagram.com/oriana.nycCedric Nicaise: https://www.instagram.com/cedlovesbaconVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.

CoreWeave (CRWV) "will have to beat expectations by a lot" to show they can compete with other companies emphasizing AI compute, argues Brian Mulberry. He sees the company's backlog and revenue growth as a huge plus but the "inside out" CapEx approach as one that remains shaky. Brian turns to CoreWeave's key competitor in Nebius (NBIS) and highlights its "full stack" approach as more capital-aware. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Handshake Speakeasy seems to be everywhere these days, from starring in commercials for 1800 Tequila to being named the number one bar in the world. For anyone visiting Mexico City, missing the chance to have a drink at this acclaimed bar can inspire some serious FOMO.But its success was far from inevitable. It took years of starts, stops, and setbacks to finally get Handshake off the ground. Once it opened, however, the response was immediate. The bar offered something distinctly different from the cocktail destinations that had come before it in Mexico City, and its arrival helped further cement CDMX as one of the world's most exciting drinking destinations.Co-owners Eric and Rodrigo join Adam on this episode of The Buildout to tell the story of how Handshake Speakeasy came to be.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastHandshake Speakeasy: https://www.instagram.com/handshake_barEric van Beek: https://www.instagram.com/ericvanbeek.carinoRodrigo Urraca: https://www.instagram.com/rurracaVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.

Dryden Pence says the AI industry has moved from proof of concept to rapid adoption, which has positive impacts on companies like hyperscalers. He says those hyperscalers are buying into the AI infrastructure of the future, taking their own profits and re-investing into memory and chipmakers. Dryden lists Micron (MU), Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft (MSFT) among his stock picks. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Chase Sinzer knew from an early age that he wanted to own a restaurant, pursuing that dream through high school and college before making his way to New York City to work for some of the best restaurateurs in the business. His first project, Claud, has been a breakout success, earning three stars from The New York Times, becoming one of the city's hardest reservations to land, and establishing itself as one of the best places in New York to drink wine. But the thing that may have put Claud on the map in the first place wasn't the service, the wine, or the entrées. It was a slice of chocolate cake. On this episode of The Buildout, Chase joins Adam to talk about building Claud, how to move from one success to the next, and why he offers finance classes to any member of his restaurant staff who wants to learn.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastClaud: https://www.instagram.com/claud_nycVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.

They rolled it outMany, many months later they discovered it was negative for conversion — when people knew that much about each other, they converted lessThat is a second-derivative effect, and you only find it way after the factThe combination is the whole point: know the really old stuff (the history of your field, which signals passion) and really understand the new edge. Do both and you're a power playerApplying for a marketing job at P&G or Pepsi? Know the legends of marketing and genuinely get TikTok. That's a wildly differentiated candidateThe built-in filter: if learning the history of your field sounds tedious, you're in the wrong lane. Tedium is the signal that the passion isn't thereWall Street is the buyer of the product venture capitalists create, since liquidity is either M&A or an IPO and that's where the price gets set — so even at two people on a PowerPoint, you're asking whether this thing grown up is something that buyer gets excited aboutChina has roughly 10 good open source models and the farmer metaphor explains why that matters: two agricultural societies, in one the farmers come to market, sell goods, go home. In the other, they're forced to share best practices with every other farmer. Which one evolves faster? They're open sourcing weights and publishing the new techniques.

For many, Dante is the bar that put New York's modern cocktail scene back on the map. After rising to the top of the World's 50 Best Bars list in just a few short years, it helped usher in a new era of cocktail culture in the city. But what exactly is Dante? A cocktail bar? A restaurant? Something in between? And how do you grow a brand nationally and internationally without losing the magic that made it special in the first place? On this episode of The Buildout, owner Linden Pride joins Adam to tell the story behind Dante, and how he and his wife and partner, Nathalie, have expanded it beyond anything they first imagined while preserving the spark that made it iconic.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastDante: https://www.instagram.com/dantenewyorkcityLinden Pride: https://www.instagram.com/lindenprideVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.

[Recorded July 7, 2026] Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to discuss his investing outlook across multiple resource and energy sectors in the current macroeconomic environment. He shares how he is managing his portfolio as it relates to gold, gold stocks, oil, oil stocks, A.I. Stocks, and those infrastructure stocks adjacent to the massive A.I. datacenter buildouts. The conversation kicks off around the precious metals sector, noting that the extreme selling pressure and downside momentum has stalled and that we did see a recent small bounce in gold and gold stocks off their lows since the middle of last week. Sean acknowledged the bear market price action in gold and gold stocks since the tops in late January and February to present, and would like to see the PMs just quit going down and stop making lower lows. We discussed the growing number of calls for entering a more a bullish period of seasonality, where the PM sector often bottoms in late July into early August. Sean has been nibbling a little bit on quality PM producers into the overall sector correction, such as Aura Minerals (NASDAQ: AUGO), but ultimately wants to see more follow-through strength and a definitive break up out of the bearish downtrend, before getting more aggressive in adding to new positions. He is constructive on the upcoming Q2 earnings, where producer margins were still very robust, even despite the higher energy inputs for the quarter. Now with oil prices down very close to levels before the war started, he'll also be reviewing carefully the forward guidance from companies as it relates to projected costs for Q3. Next we dove further into the WTI oil price movements into the $70s, and how that may play into current opportunities in the energy stocks, along with expectations around Fed policy. Sean his hanging on to his energy stocks for now, especially if they have solid fundamentals at these current prices, and pay a good dividend. He sees the markets as having become very tilted to overly hawkish expectations from Kevin Warsh's comments on price stability in lieu of rising inflation concerns. It's possible that we may see 1 token rate hike from the Fed later in the year, but then it's more likely to see neutral to dovish policies take back over, especially if energy prices stay in the $70s or low $80s and inflation moderates. Sean weighs in on the narratives circulating about the potential overspend and over-commitment from big tech companies into the AI datacenter buildout. Sean already exited profitable positions in the semiconductor chips, and recently pulled a 2nd wave of profits in most of the companies he held in his portfolio exposed to the infrastructure buildout of AI data centers, like Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. (NasdaqGS: STRL). He notes several large mega-cap tech companies like Meta and Google now renting out some of their A.I. capacity as sign of an overbuild in compute; and draws parallels to the overbuild of fiberoptic cable during the dotcom bubble of the late 1990s into the internet stock crash in 2000-2001. The rise of China's less costly and equally efficient A.I. platforms pose a threat to domestic tech companies and may temper any further advances. He points to the dangerous trends of previously cashflowing tech companies pivoting from profitability to now taking on massive amounts of corporate debt to keep building more compute capacity. Sean outlined that there needs to be a market rationalization for how much further compute capacity and infrastructure buildout is actually needed, and that this industry may be out over its skis at this point.

What happens when a celebrated cocktail journalist and one of the country's foremost rum authorities join forces? The result is Echo Lake. But opening the bar proved more challenging than either expected. Chloe Frechette had spent her career covering bars, not opening them, while Paul McGee had built his reputation in Chicago, not New York.

Taking over a decades-old family restaurant is daunting enough. Turning it into a cocktail bar in Chicago's Chinatown — a neighborhood without a high-end cocktail destination — raises the stakes even more. But partners Lily Wang and Joe Briglio embraced the challenge, bringing Lily's family along for the ride. The result is Nine Bar, one of the most exciting new additions to Chicago's cocktail scene, drawing drinkers to a neighborhood many had never considered for cocktails. On this episode of The Buildout, Lily and Joe join Adam to share how it came together, from navigating family dynamics to honoring the culture of the neighborhood.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastNine Bar: https://www.instagram.com/ninebarchicagoLily Wang: https://www.instagram.com/lw4ngJoe Briglio: https://www.instagram.com/joebrigsVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.

In this week's episode of WSJ's Take On the Week, host Telis Demos and Heard on the Street columnist Jonathan Weil sit down with Kevin Koharki, principal at CAE Consulting and professor at Purdue University, to pull back the curtain on the opaque world of tech companies' financial statements. They dig into why the massive infrastructure spend on AI data centers might be obscuring other fundamental corporate costs, specifically stock-based compensation. Koharki explains why tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Google's parent company Alphabet need to provide clearer financial reporting. He breaks down the challenge investors face in distinguishing between necessary AI capital expenditure and other underlying costs, and why greater transparency is critical to accurately valuing these businesses in the current market. This is WSJ's Take On the Week where co-hosts Telis Demos, Heard on the Street's banking and money columnist, and Miriam Gottfried, WSJ's investing and wealth management reporter, cut through the noise and dive into markets, the economy and finance—the big trades, key players and business news ahead.

The big takeaway from the Fed's interest rate decision and following press conference with Kevin Warsh is an intensifying focus on inflation, says Jed Ellerbroek. He believes the task forces announced are a "bid for time" to help stabilize the economy. On AI ROI, Jed says the demand for compute is only accelerating as Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta Platforms (META) account for 70% of data center construction. He later turns to winners he sees in the aerospace and defense industry. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

When Ross Simon left London for the States, he set out to make his mark on the American cocktail scene. What he didn't know was that mark would be made in Phoenix, Arizona — a city that, at the time, was hardly known for its drinks culture.But maybe that was part of the magic. Ross landed in Phoenix and, a few years later, opened Bitter & Twisted, a cocktail bar that not only helped make his name, but also put the city on the map as a serious cocktail destination.On this episode of The Buildout, Ross joins Adam to tell the story of Bitter & Twisted and how its success helped transform Phoenix into one of America's most exciting cocktail cities.Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/buildoutpodcastBitter & Twisted: https://www.instagram.com/bitterandtwisted_azVinePair: https://www.instagram.com/vinepairHosted by VinePair Co-Founder: https://www.instagram.com/adamteeterProduced and edited by: https://www.instagram.com/dolldoctor Hosted on Acast.
