Q4 2025 revenue hit $777.7 million, beating estimates by 18%, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.45 — crushing expectations by 50%.

G.L.A. Grade | A | A- | B+ | A+ | A- |
Scoring Breakdown
$BE (60/70 — A): Bloom Energy is firing on all cylinders. AI data center demand is creating a structural tailwind that could last a decade. Revenue is accelerating, backlog is exploding, and execution is ahead of schedule. The Q1 earnings on April 28 is the next big catalyst.
$ARKVX (59/70 — A-): This is how everyday investors access the private market — SpaceX, Anthropic, and other pre-IPO unicorns. NAV at all-time highs, and the upcoming IPO cycle of its biggest holdings could create a step-function jump in value. A core G.L.A. holding philosophy.
$BMNR (50/70 — B+): The “MSTR of Ethereum” thesis is compelling, and the NYSE uplisting plus $4B buyback are massive catalysts. However, the extreme volatility ($3.92 to $161 range) and dependence on ETH price make this higher risk. For believers in Ethereum’s long-term trajectory, this is the purest leveraged play available.
Perplexity AI (65/70 — A+): The highest score in this spotlight. Revenue growth is staggering (5x in one year), unit economics are elite ($2M ARR/employee), and the product is genuinely threatening Google’s core business. Backed by NVIDIA, Bezos, and SoftBank. If you can get private market access (through platforms like ARKVX or secondary markets), this is a generational opportunity.
PsiQuantum (59/70 — A-): The most ambitious bet on this list. Quantum computing is the ultimate long-term disruption play, and PsiQuantum’s photonic approach, combined with BlackRock/NVIDIA/Temasek backing, makes it the most credible pure-play in the space. Pre-revenue, so this is a 5–10 year conviction hold — exactly the kind of bet the G.L.A. Bible was written for.
💡 Final Thought
As always, we invest using the principles of our G.L.A. INVESTING CONSTITUTION: Think like long-term owners, concentrate on our highest-conviction ideas, embrace volatility as vitality, and let Dollar Cost Averaging + Exponential Growth + Compounding Interest = Generational Wealth (Rule #22).
