3Q26 Portfolio Rebalance: Capturing the Next Phase of AI Infrastructure Buildout (Pt.2)

AI spending keeps growing, but the winners are changing. Our 4Q26 rebalance favors Broadcom over NVIDIA and backs suppliers enabling logic folding and optical integration. We also explore Tesla’s physical AI opportunity and the risks to TSMC’s long-term dominance.

Part 1 mapped agentic disruption across SaaS with provisional scores. Part 2 deep-dives PLTR, DDOG, and NET: who owns the agent layer, who is durable plumbing agents pay for, and who is more exposed — so investors can see structural winners more clearly.

Agentic AI is forcing SaaS down one of three routes: full replacement, headless survival, or owning the agentic layer. Part 1 maps the paths and scores 22 public SaaS names on our VAR-Resistance Scorecard — only two emerge as Agentic Compounders.
