Magic Markets #275: Platform Power - Prosus and the SaaS Shakeout
In this episode of Magic Markets, we unpack the concept of platform economics through a practical lens, using real examples from our portfolios like Uber and Prosus. What separates a true platform from a business that simply claims the label? The discussion dives into the power of network effects, operating leverage and data-driven ecosystems. These elements can create powerful flywheels that drive long-term value when executed correctly. We also explore the growing divergence between platform businesses and the struggling SaaS sector, as rising interest rates and the disruptive force of AI force investors to rethink valuations and moats. Mohammed Nalla does a particularly great job of setting out the different types of SaaS moats and where he's looking for value. Key topics covered: What “platform economics” really means (and why not every platform deserves the label) Network effects, operating leverage and data as sources of competitive advantage Uber vs YouTube: how different platform models monetise ecosystems Tencent’s struggles and the knock-on impact on Prosus Prosus’ “Tencent-plus” strategy and execution focus under Fabricio Bloisi AI as both a threat and an opportunity across SaaS and platform businesses The “SaaSpocalypse”: rising rates, weaker moats and valuation resets Three buckets of SaaS: mission-critical, vulnerable and platform-adjacent Why platform businesses with distribution may be better positioned in the AI era Salesforce vs Adobe: what correlated charts are telling us about the sector Get in touch: The Magic Markets Website @MagicMarketsPod, @FinanceGhost, and @MohammedNalla (all on X) Pop us a note on LinkedIn Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.

Magic Markets #274: Why Bond Yields Matter So Much
Bond yields are back in the spotlight, and they’re moving markets in ways that investors can’t afford to ignore. In this episode of Magic Markets, The Finance Ghost and Mohammed Nalla unpack what’s really driving the recent rise in US bond yields, from inflation expectations and oil prices to fiscal risks and global growth dynamics. More importantly, they explain why this is a pricing story for every asset class. The discussion then shifts to the real impact on equities, where rising yields force a rethink of valuations, especially for “long-duration” growth stocks. Using examples of pandemic-era darlings like Zoom and broader sector rotations, the episode explores where the pain is likely to show up and where opportunity might lie as capital shifts in response to a higher cost of money. Key topics covered: Why bond yields are rising and why it matters The link between oil prices, inflation expectations and yields Why “not all yield moves are created equal” How higher yields impact equity valuations via discounted cash flows The concept of duration in equities and why it matters Which sectors benefit when yields rise (and which suffer) Why quality cash flow businesses are back in focus Scenario planning: growth-driven yields vs inflation-driven yields Get in touch: The Magic Markets Website @MagicMarketsPod, @FinanceGhost, and @MohammedNalla (all on X) Pop us a note on LinkedIn Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.

Magic Markets #273: Beyond NVIDIA - Mapping the AI Investment Stack
The AI trade is evolving fast - and Nvidia is no longer the whole story. In this episode of Magic Markets, we unpack how the market is shifting beyond the obvious winner and into the broader AI investment stack, from memory and CPUs to foundries and infrastructure. We explore what’s really driving the explosive moves in names like Micron, AMD and Intel, and whether these are sustainable trends or simply the latest phase of market optimism. Most importantly, we dig into the difference between exposure to AI and the quality of that exposure, because not all “AI stocks” are created equal. Key topics covered: The shift from Nvidia to second-order AI winners What the AI “investment stack” actually looks like Why memory, CPUs and infrastructure are suddenly in focus Micron: cyclical memory player or structural AI beneficiary? AMD: the race to become the #2 AI compute platform Intel: turnaround story or optionality trap? The role of hyperscaler capex in driving the AI cycle Why valuations (and “hopium”) are becoming a key risk The difference between AI exposure and investment quality What could trigger a sudden “rug pull” in AI-linked stocks Get in touch: The Magic Markets Website @MagicMarketsPod, @FinanceGhost, and @MohammedNalla (all on X) Pop us a note on LinkedIn Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial or investment advice.
