Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Passive’s Massive AI Gamble
Q: What is Marathon's investment stance amid this environment?
Marathon suggests looking beyond the AI rally to find opportunities in unloved segments and companies with solid capital cycles and attractive valuations, such as Visa and smaller industrial/consumer names.
Passive’s Massive AI Gamble
Q: How big is the shift toward passive investing in the US market, and what does that imply for price discovery?
The shift is substantial, with passive funds' inflows dwarfing active inflows over the past decade, meaning price discovery shifts from stock-level fundamentals to flow-driven movements and liquidity dynamics.
DeepSequel
Q: So Laura, how does this thinking on Chinese technological advances influence Marathon's portfolios?
Marathon's portfolios tilt toward globally competitive Chinese challengers that can disrupt profit pools, while avoiding companies highly exposed to low-cost capacity pressure; the focus is on identifying moats that are hard to replicate and on assets with network effects or geographically unique advantages that can endure amid Chinese competition.
DeepSequel
Q: And you cite some token numbers for the DeepSeq model, which I don't quite understand. Can you explain them?
The R1 model was priced very cheaply per input and output token, at 55 cents per million input tokens and about $2.19 per million output tokens, with training costs around $6 million, and it was released open source, illustrating how disruptive pricing can democratize access to AI capabilities and compress the capital requirements of frontier models.
AI Disruptees
Q: What about Marathon's exposure to the idea of SaaSpocalypse?
Marathon notes limited exposure in Europe to the SaaS disruption theme, with focus on assets like SAP and other data-centric businesses, and highlights that core data businesses are hard to replicate, limiting some of the AI-driven erosion seen in other sectors.
