  1. 0:00Hello everyone. Today we're going to
  2. 0:01look at eight stocks, eight names
  3. 0:02companies which I believe are going to
  4. 0:04change the world in the next 5 to 10
  5. 0:06years time. The broader thesis is that
  6. 0:08in the next few decades biology is going
  7. 0:09to deliver most of the returns in the
  8. 0:11stock market. Welcome back to the
  9. 0:12world's best investing podcast. I went
  10. 0:14long Palantir at $7 per share. The
  11. 0:16evidence of that you can find it in my
  12. 0:18original deep dive written back in 2022
  13. 0:21explaining why Palantir was the most
  14. 0:23important company in the West and then
  15. 0:24me actively defending the thesis all the
  16. 0:26way up with the various 50% plus
  17. 0:28declines and everyone trying to short
  18. 0:30the stock on the way up. Today as I
  19. 0:32said, we're going to look at eight
  20. 0:33tickers in depth. The very least this
  21. 0:35presentation is going to do for you is
  22. 0:36make you smarter. If you relate to the
  23. 0:38AI trade, this presentation is going to
  24. 0:40enable you to at least understand the
  25. 0:42next big huge trade early which is the
  26. 0:44intersection between AI and biology.
  27. 0:46Nothing I say today is financial advice,
  28. 0:48nor should it be interpreted as such.
  29. 0:50This is just for educational and
  30. 0:52entertainment purposes only. Let's get
  31. 0:54started with today's presentation.
  32. 1:00Right. So, life extension per token.
  33. 1:02Many of you guys have heard me talking
  34. 1:03about this. This is a new AI scaling law
  35. 1:05which I've coined myself. Essentially,
  36. 1:07the idea that every time an AI model
  37. 1:09runs that's trained on biological data,
  38. 1:12human lifespan is going to be extended.
  39. 1:15Longer lives, better lives as an
  40. 1:17emergent feature of this very simple
  41. 1:19data set which is your ability to read
  42. 1:21into someone's biology at present, write
  43. 1:23back into it, and then be able to tell
  44. 1:25what happens afterwards. What's the end
  45. 1:27state in someone's biology. This is the
  46. 1:29very simple key value pairs we'll cover
  47. 1:31now that will train superhuman AI
  48. 1:33doctors. In the future, it's actually
  49. 1:35happening now and this is going to give
  50. 1:37way to the most valuable subscription
  51. 1:39service ever in the history of humanity.
  52. 1:42And that is the bottom line of the
  53. 1:43thesis. Today we have eight tickers. I
  54. 1:45know many of you guys like me to cover
  55. 1:47the tickers early. So, we have Hims 10x
  56. 1:50AI, Nautilus Biotechnology, Butterfly
  57. 1:53Network which is the next deep dive.
  58. 1:54Today we're only going to cover it
  59. 1:55superficially. Recursion
  60. 1:57Pharmaceuticals, AbCellera, ImmunityBio,
  61. 1:59and MiNK Therapeutics, Hims, and Tempus
  62. 2:02AI at the distribution level. It's very
  63. 2:04important for the read and write
  64. 2:06function in biology. I'll explain the
  65. 2:08importance of that now. So, actually
  66. 2:09read patients so we can see what's
  67. 2:11happening with patients before and after
  68. 2:13a treatment. That is the essence for
  69. 2:15training an AI. And then there's
  70. 2:17actually deeper components of this value
  71. 2:19chain. We have Nautilus Biotechnology,
  72. 2:21which is very important, increasingly
  73. 2:23so, for the read function at the
  74. 2:25proteomic level. Butterfly Network seems
  75. 2:27to have extraordinary technology that
  76. 2:29can tell the state of specific organs at
  77. 2:32present, and this is actually quite
  78. 2:33unique in the market via ultrasound,
  79. 2:35essentially chips that run ultrasound in
  80. 2:38situ inside the chip. Then we have
  81. 2:39Recursion Pharmaceuticals, which is the
  82. 2:41drug manufacturing machine which builds
  83. 2:44itself. It's recursive in nature,
  84. 2:45apparently. AbCellera, which is a
  85. 2:48company that I've covered a lot.
  86. 2:49Congratulations to you guys that bought
  87. 2:51in early. I didn't. It's essentially a
  88. 2:54factory that just prints antibodies and
  89. 2:56can therefore target any receptor in the
  90. 2:58human body. By the way, if you don't
  91. 3:00know anything about biology, you can go
  92. 3:02and check out my past videos on that. In
  93. 3:04the course, I have a module in which I
  94. 3:05break down the first principles
  95. 3:07framework so that you guys get up to
  96. 3:09speed quickly without spending years
  97. 3:11studying biology like I did. And then we
  98. 3:13have ImmunityBio, which is basically
  99. 3:15something that jacks up your immune
  100. 3:16system by binding onto the interleukin
  101. 3:1815 receptor. I do believe that will be
  102. 3:20fundamental
  103. 3:22in the next 5 to 10 years, specifically
  104. 3:24so in the next 5 years. So, that's very
  105. 3:26important to take into account. And then
  106. 3:28we have MiNK Therapeutics, which is the
  107. 3:30only company in the world, at least
  108. 3:31publicly traded, that I know of, that's
  109. 3:34capitalizing on a third branch of the
  110. 3:36immune system, which is not the innate,
  111. 3:38not the adaptive branch, it's something
  112. 3:39in between that targets the bad guys via
  113. 3:42what is known as lipid. So, it doesn't
  114. 3:43use the peptide complex, therefore does
  115. 3:45not leverage the major
  116. 3:47histocompatibility complex, and
  117. 3:49therefore is extraordinary. You can go
  118. 3:51and check out
  119. 3:52my deep dive on that company.
  120. 3:54>> [snorts]
  121. 3:54>> Now, let's get started with the
  122. 3:56worldview that I was promising. Biology
  123. 3:57will, in my view, deliver most of the
  124. 3:59stock market returns of the next decade,
  125. 4:01primarily by extending human health
  126. 4:03span. This is going to be the most
  127. 4:05valuable, desirable subscription service
  128. 4:07on Earth because ultimately, as a human,
  129. 4:09if you don't care about sticking around
  130. 4:11and in a good state, what do you really
  131. 4:12care about? If you don't stick around,
  132. 4:14you can't possibly care about anything.
  133. 4:16Therefore, on a first principles basis,
  134. 4:17if this does come to life, as I believe
  135. 4:20it will do, and actually, as I will
  136. 4:21prove in today's presentation, is coming
  137. 4:23to life, this is going to be extremely
  138. 4:25valuable. Semiconductors have been have
  139. 4:27proven to be extremely valuable, and
  140. 4:29they're only getting started. As many of
  141. 4:31you know, I'm an early AMD shareholder
  142. 4:33since $4.2 per share. At the very least,
  143. 4:35you have billions of videos of me
  144. 4:37defending AMD last year when it was when
  145. 4:39it was trading at $75 per share, saying
  146. 4:42it's the next AI
  147. 4:44trillion-dollar AI giant, and so it has
  148. 4:46been. It's now trading just over 1
  149. 4:48trillion. All right, so
  150. 4:50we have an emerging data value chain
  151. 4:52that's already extending lifespan per
  152. 4:54token. This is something that the market
  153. 4:56is missing. The financials are starting
  154. 4:58to click, and several key assets were
  155. 5:00actually severely underpriced. And to
  156. 5:02me, that's certainly an arbitrage, which
  157. 5:04which I am exploiting. There are a
  158. 5:06series of newly started long positions.
  159. 5:08Newly means in the past year, or
  160. 5:10recently in the past few months, which I
  161. 5:12will disclose during the presentation.
  162. 5:14The building block of this new scaling
  163. 5:16law, which is more lifespan per token
  164. 5:18every time an AI model runs that's
  165. 5:20obviously trained on the adequate data,
  166. 5:23is a single key value pair, as is the
  167. 5:24case with the rest of AI. The key is
  168. 5:27someone's biological state before a
  169. 5:29treatment, then plus the treatment, and
  170. 5:31the value is the state after. So, if you
  171. 5:33have a snapshot of someone's biology
  172. 5:35before a treatment, then you add the
  173. 5:36exact treatment, and then you see what
  174. 5:38happens to someone's biology after.
  175. 5:40Enough pairs of that, and AI does become
  176. 5:43biologically predictive. Now,
  177. 5:45historically,
  178. 5:47every major advance in has come from a
  179. 5:49better read or a better write function
  180. 5:51in biology. So, as we as we understood
  181. 5:54biology better and we've gained an
  182. 5:56ability to then write back into biology,
  183. 5:58we've cured things. Now, both run on
  184. 6:00data and compute uh compute that's
  185. 6:02recursive in nature. So, you essentially
  186. 6:04have AI models that are starting to
  187. 6:06improve themselves. So, each better read
  188. 6:08actually trains a better write. And we
  189. 6:11are right now going through revolution
  190. 6:13in this space, which, you know, is
  191. 6:14increasingly acknowledged by the wider
  192. 6:17uh public, but it's still very niche,
  193. 6:19right? So, if you tell anyone about this
  194. 6:21that's not on, you know, in in our
  195. 6:23sphere of investing and technology,
  196. 6:25they're going to think you're insane,
  197. 6:26right? So, you have the key value pair
  198. 6:28behind predictive biology. As I was
  199. 6:29saying, it's very important we nail
  200. 6:31this. You have someone's biological
  201. 6:32state before captured by the read
  202. 6:34function, then you have the treatments,
  203. 6:36which is delivered by the write
  204. 6:38function. So, we have, you know,
  205. 6:39something in the write function that's
  206. 6:41booming right now is peptides, for
  207. 6:42example. You're just writing back into
  208. 6:44biology.
  209. 6:45And then you have the state after.
  210. 6:47Millions of these pairs teach the model
  211. 6:49the link between key and value. Then,
  212. 6:51you know, when you have millions of
  213. 6:53patients on board, for example, and this
  214. 6:55key value pair is increasingly training
  215. 6:57an AI model,
  216. 6:58when a new guy joins the platform, for
  217. 7:00that guy, the AI is going to be
  218. 7:01predictive. And that's what's going to
  219. 7:03change not just medicine. It's not only
  220. 7:06going to produce the most valuable
  221. 7:07subscription service on earth, in my
  222. 7:09opinion, it's also going to change the
  223. 7:11human condition forever.
  224. 7:14Now, here's where we get into a spotting
  225. 7:16the asymmetries, you know, the tickets
  226. 7:18that we were discussing, how good the
  227. 7:19prediction is. So, how much someone's
  228. 7:21health span is extended per token, per
  229. 7:24every time a model runs, depends on how
  230. 7:26deep the read goes, from how you feel
  231. 7:29through each organ down to the proteome,
  232. 7:31epigenome, and genome. By the way, if
  233. 7:33you've never heard of the proteome,
  234. 7:35epigenome, and genome, I have lots of
  235. 7:36videos of that. As I said, we have a
  236. 7:38module on the course with the first
  237. 7:40principles framework.
  238. 7:41Let me just illustrate what I mean by a
  239. 7:43deeper read. How the person feels, how
  240. 7:45they're sleeping, how much they work
  241. 7:47out, how their heart is performing. We
  242. 7:49have that in the wearables today. That
  243. 7:51is being democratized at scale with
  244. 7:54Whoop, which I've been a customer and
  245. 7:55now actually taking a break from it
  246. 7:57because it was a little bit painstaking.
  247. 7:59But, um you know, Aura stuff like that,
  248. 8:01this is happening across the board. You
  249. 8:02have the intelligent mattresses that
  250. 8:04people are using. That's the very
  251. 8:06high-level surface biomarkers. Then we
  252. 8:08have organ performance. This This seems
  253. 8:11to be some kind of innovation happening
  254. 8:13inside Butterfly, ticker BFLY. I'll be
  255. 8:16discussing that in depth in the upcoming
  256. 8:17deep dive. The proteome is very well
  257. 8:20done by Nautilus Biotechnology, frankly,
  258. 8:23in a way which no one else seems to be
  259. 8:25able to do so at the moment. The thing
  260. 8:27everyone is using in the industry is
  261. 8:29mass spectrometry, which we'll be
  262. 8:30covering now, but it doesn't work to
  263. 8:32truly capture nuance in the proteome.
  264. 8:34So, this ticker to me is fundamentally
  265. 8:37interesting and it's to me it seems
  266. 8:39incredibly undervalued. And then,
  267. 8:42at the epigenome, RNA, genome level, we
  268. 8:45have two companies which I think are
  269. 8:46very interesting, which is Tempus AI,
  270. 8:49ticker TEM, and then Recursion
  271. 8:51Pharmaceuticals, ticker RXRX. So, just
  272. 8:54understand that and I'm not saying these
  273. 8:56tickers will succeed 100%, but just
  274. 8:58understand that the deeper the read into
  275. 9:01biology goes, the better, more
  276. 9:03predictive, more efficient AI will be at
  277. 9:06extending human health spans across the
  278. 9:08board. Now, to test whether this chain
  279. 9:11is actually viable, it's real and it's
  280. 9:12not something I'm making up, you have to
  281. 9:15look at the distribution layer. So, the
  282. 9:17platforms in direct contact with the
  283. 9:18customer where read and write actually
  284. 9:21reach a body. Is this happening across
  285. 9:23the board or not? Yes, two companies,
  286. 9:25Hims and Tempus. You guys know I'm a
  287. 9:28long-time Hims bull. I'm a gigabull as
  288. 9:31I've been with companies like AMD and
  289. 9:33Palantir and I continue to be to date.
  290. 9:35These two companies,
  291. 9:37as I've covered in the past, perform the
  292. 9:39same function but are coming at this
  293. 9:40through opposite doors. Both are
  294. 9:42actually growing, as I will show now,
  295. 9:44for one simple reason. And that's that
  296. 9:46data improves outcomes. Whether you
  297. 9:48believe in the emerging data value chain
  298. 9:51that I'm going to cover or not, you
  299. 9:53can't deny the fact that actually the
  300. 9:55top line of these two companies are
  301. 9:56growing really fast.
  302. 9:58Whether AI is truly driving patient
  303. 10:00outcomes or not, we can debate back and
  304. 10:02forth. But the fact that these are two
  305. 10:04data-driven
  306. 10:06and the top line is growing
  307. 10:08exponentially for now, just because the
  308. 10:11intel that the data is generating
  309. 10:13enables these companies to deliver more
  310. 10:15value per dollar spent is actually
  311. 10:17increasingly harder to debate. Right?
  312. 10:19So, this is a hypothesis. There is no
  313. 10:21guarantee of success in investing. But
  314. 10:23you have Hims doing this revenue in the
  315. 10:25last 12 months, 11.3x revenue growth
  316. 10:28with respect to the start of this
  317. 10:29timeline. Tempus 1.4 billion in the same
  318. 10:33period, 5x revenue growth. You will see
  319. 10:36there is a tentative arbitrage in the
  320. 10:37market cap. So, Hims 6.7 billion dollars
  321. 10:41market cap, Tempus AI 14.9 billion
  322. 10:44dollars. Although there is a disparity
  323. 10:46in the revenue. This is because the
  324. 10:48market at present interprets Hims's
  325. 10:51revenue as being lower quality of that
  326. 10:53of Tempus. However, as we know in
  327. 10:55technology, things that come to be very
  328. 10:57meaningful eventually actually look like
  329. 10:59toys at the beginning. Hims has been
  330. 11:01labeled as an erectile dysfunction
  331. 11:03company, GLP-1 company, whatever pill
  332. 11:06company. It's actually building an
  333. 11:07infrastructure that's D2C. It's just a
  334. 11:10different way of nailing this key value
  335. 11:13pair. Right? So, Hims Labs picks up data
  336. 11:15on people before treatment,
  337. 11:18biomarkers and increasing volume of
  338. 11:19them, then the treatment that they
  339. 11:21receive, and they do so via this
  340. 11:23closed-loop infrastructure, and then the
  341. 11:24state after. So, on a first principles
  342. 11:26basis,
  343. 11:27it's very much training in AI, just like
  344. 11:29Tempus is.
  345. 11:31Now,
  346. 11:32there's some interesting qualitative
  347. 11:34remarks from the co-founder and CEO of
  348. 11:36Tempus AI in the Q2 2026 earnings
  349. 11:40report. He said, "They, the customers,
  350. 11:42don't just want our data. They want
  351. 11:44access to Lens. They're uploading data.
  352. 11:47They're building models that remain in
  353. 11:48Lens, and the business just feels super
  354. 11:50healthy, super sticky." Algorithm attach
  355. 11:53rate 45%. That's up from 40% in the
  356. 11:56latest report. Data licensing revenue
  357. 11:59growth 36% year over year.
  358. 12:02Now, the company is actually for the
  359. 12:03first time ever
  360. 12:05positive GAAP net income. This is
  361. 12:07because Tempus is becoming a machine
  362. 12:10that not only delivers value just by
  363. 12:13selling raw data, it's actually a place
  364. 12:15where customers are beginning to
  365. 12:17generatively build their own AI models
  366. 12:20on top of Tempus's data. So, Tempus is
  367. 12:23entering this new chapter in which at a
  368. 12:25marginal cost, it prints AI models that
  369. 12:28then drive additional incremental value
  370. 12:30at a marginal cost to their customers
  371. 12:33inside their infrastructure. So, rather
  372. 12:35than just a data platform, it's becoming
  373. 12:38a place where new AI models become
  374. 12:41bootstrapped by customers via prompts,
  375. 12:44which is extraordinary.
  376. 12:46Now, that we've covered the top line and
  377. 12:48we we can sort of broadly agree that
  378. 12:50something is happening for these two
  379. 12:51companies to grow so fast, it's
  380. 12:53interesting to go deeper into the value
  381. 12:55chain. Because here is where I believe
  382. 12:58also the case at the top of the value
  383. 13:00chain is where we will uncover many
  384. 13:02multi-baggers in the decades to come.
  385. 13:05This thesis, life extension, health span
  386. 13:07extension per token, I believe is
  387. 13:09extremely fertile ground for
  388. 13:12extraordinary investments as has been
  389. 13:14the sort of
  390. 13:16vanilla standalone AI value chain with
  391. 13:18companies like AMD and Palantir over the
  392. 13:20past few decades.
  393. 13:22Recursion is a machine that essentially
  394. 13:24explains why a treatment should work.
  395. 13:26And Tempus owns the outcomes, right? So,
  396. 13:29they can read a patient's state before
  397. 13:31and after the treatment. So, they own a
  398. 13:34higher level of the same key value per
  399. 13:37abstraction. Now, they recently closed
  400. 13:39the deal
  401. 13:40in which Recursion pays Tempus $42
  402. 13:42million over 3 years
  403. 13:45for data regarding their patients. And
  404. 13:47Tempus pays $12 million to Recursion
  405. 13:50Pharmaceuticals over 2 years for data
  406. 13:53for their TX FM RNA model. So, for a
  407. 13:56deep comprehension of what's happening
  408. 13:58inside cells at the RNA level.
  409. 14:01In case you haven't seen my Recursion
  410. 14:03Pharmaceuticals deep dive, they own
  411. 14:05roughly 50 petabytes of lab data. They
  412. 14:07have a factory which processes cells and
  413. 14:10generates deep low-level biological data
  414. 14:13of what's happening inside cells. This
  415. 14:15is hard to do because you have to build
  416. 14:17out all the physical infrastructure to
  417. 14:20get the data of what's happening inside
  418. 14:22cells, and then you have to build the AI
  419. 14:23models on top of them. Of course, as AI
  420. 14:26scaling laws continue accelerating, the
  421. 14:29intelligence built per petabyte of data
  422. 14:32generated in Recursion's factories
  423. 14:34continues going up. So, every day that
  424. 14:36goes by, Recursion, in my view, is
  425. 14:38actually exponentially harder to
  426. 14:39replicate. Bottom line is
  427. 14:42Recursion has a deeper level
  428. 14:44understanding, lower level
  429. 14:45understanding, of what's happening
  430. 14:47inside cells and how the chemistry and
  431. 14:50drugs interacts with that biology.
  432. 14:52And this deal just shows you a
  433. 14:54delineation
  434. 14:55in the data value chain. These two
  435. 14:57companies are paying for each other's
  436. 14:58data because they can't replicate that
  437. 15:00data. So, this is a very strong signal
  438. 15:03from Q2 2026. Now, what really caught my
  439. 15:07eye in Q2 2026 for Recursion
  440. 15:09Pharmaceuticals is that the model seems
  441. 15:12to be discovering novel biology. Not a
  442. 15:15hypothesis that someone prompted the
  443. 15:17model and to gain clarity on. The model
  444. 15:20came up with something that no
  445. 15:22specialist actually even thought of
  446. 15:24apparently.
  447. 15:26This is the result of a novel atlas that
  448. 15:29Recursion has built by processing over 1
  449. 15:31trillion lab-grown neurons and
  450. 15:34microglial cells. Neurons, as you may
  451. 15:36know, are essentially the cells that
  452. 15:38power the central nervous system
  453. 15:40including the brain, and microglia are
  454. 15:43the resident immune cells inside the
  455. 15:45brain. This is mapped together with
  456. 15:4717,000 genes that Recursion has
  457. 15:50essentially looked at. So, this atlas
  458. 15:52has produced, apparently, a novel
  459. 15:54neurological target, so something in the
  460. 15:56brain that can be interacted with to
  461. 15:59produce to improve patient outcomes that
  462. 16:01Genentech is now taking to the clinic.
  463. 16:04What's interesting is that this atlas is
  464. 16:06obviously reusable. This was an emergent
  465. 16:08property of the atlas, and this is sort
  466. 16:11of increasingly generalized intelligence
  467. 16:13such that it would seem that Recursion's
  468. 16:15model, there is a combination of them,
  469. 16:17but I think we can speak of these models
  470. 16:19as one emergent model, came up with
  471. 16:21something which really no one thought
  472. 16:23about, according to management's
  473. 16:25qualitative remarks in the Q2 2026
  474. 16:28earnings call. Now, I'm going by what
  475. 16:31they say because this seems like an
  476. 16:32extremely capable management team, and I
  477. 16:34think I increasingly trust them. What's
  478. 16:36interesting here is the relationship.
  479. 16:39So, we talked about how
  480. 16:41the growing top line of the top part of
  481. 16:44the value chain, which is the
  482. 16:46distribution layer, seems to be powering
  483. 16:48demand for lower levels of the emerging
  484. 16:51data value chain. What's interesting,
  485. 16:53however, is the recursive nature of the
  486. 16:56relationships there. Meaning, if this
  487. 16:58thing is coming up with novel biology,
  488. 17:00does that supercharge the top line
  489. 17:02itself? Does that open a field? Does
  490. 17:05that open a field of possibilities such
  491. 17:07that Tempus and Hims can radically
  492. 17:10improve patient outcomes in a way which
  493. 17:12was previously considered impossible.
  494. 17:14This is absolutely the case, and this is
  495. 17:16actually happening now. Again, we just
  496. 17:18go back to the idea of more treated
  497. 17:20patients, more key value pairs,
  498. 17:22and then that sort of feeds back into a
  499. 17:24richer Atlas. So, this emerging value
  500. 17:27chain is extremely real. And as I will
  501. 17:29explain now, across these series of
  502. 17:31places, it's actually being tremendously
  503. 17:33undervalued.
  504. 17:35>> [snorts]
  505. 17:35>> Recursion by itself is an extremely
  506. 17:38interesting company to me because the
  507. 17:40engine seems to run at a level of
  508. 17:42efficiency
  509. 17:43which the broader pharmaceutical
  510. 17:45industry cannot match. And as I said, it
  511. 17:47seems to be recursive, meaning that the
  512. 17:49infrastructure improves itself. They do
  513. 17:51have a closed loop where they have a
  514. 17:53physical factory that generates the
  515. 17:54data, then the models, and then the
  516. 17:57models sort of improve the factory
  517. 17:59itself, and that's recursive in nature.
  518. 18:01But, if you look, for example, at REC
  519. 18:034881,
  520. 18:04which is essentially a molecule, like I
  521. 18:06covered this in depth in the deep dive,
  522. 18:08but it's a molecule
  523. 18:10that reduces polyps in the
  524. 18:12gastrointestinal tract. It did so by
  525. 18:15roughly 43% actually, concretely 43% in
  526. 18:20phase two.
  527. 18:21And what's interesting is that this is
  528. 18:23done at a level of efficiency which the
  529. 18:25market, the broader market, cannot
  530. 18:27match. Right? So, the industry norm is
  531. 18:30roughly thousands of compounds
  532. 18:32synthesized in order to produce one drug
  533. 18:34that does something useful in the
  534. 18:35clinic.
  535. 18:36So, we can see, however, that REC 7735
  536. 18:40only required 242 compounds. And just
  537. 18:43the the recursion average is 330. So,
  538. 18:47it's a lot lower than the thousands
  539. 18:48required by the industry
  540. 18:51across the board. What's
  541. 18:53incredibly interesting, even more, is
  542. 18:55that Recursion Pharmaceuticals is doing
  543. 18:57this while the guidance in terms of
  544. 19:00OPEX, operating expenditures for 2026,
  545. 19:03is 40% below the OPEX in 2024. So, the
  546. 19:07machine is not only outperforming the
  547. 19:09broader industry, it's not only
  548. 19:11allegedly discovering novel biology,
  549. 19:13it's actually doing so in an
  550. 19:14increasingly agile,
  551. 19:17lean manner. To me, this is
  552. 19:18extraordinary and it is very much worth
  553. 19:20keeping an eye on. However,
  554. 19:23this is part of this map, obviously, is
  555. 19:25the whole multi-omics thing. So, here we
  556. 19:27we we said they processed 17,000 genes.
  557. 19:30That's at the genomic level. They did
  558. 19:32say in the Q2 2026 earnings call, they
  559. 19:35do that at the other levels of
  560. 19:37abstraction that we covered, like
  561. 19:38epigenetics, proteomics, and so forth.
  562. 19:40However,
  563. 19:43Recursion Pharmaceuticals is doing this
  564. 19:44with what is known as mass spectrometry.
  565. 19:46And this, until Nautilus Biotechnology
  566. 19:49came along and actually recently did
  567. 19:51something great with their new
  568. 19:52technology, this has been, until
  569. 19:54recently, state of the art.
  570. 19:56The problem with mass spectrometry is it
  571. 19:57can't tell the difference between
  572. 19:59proteoforms. So, a protein is
  573. 20:01essentially just a combination of amino
  574. 20:03acids per electromagnetic attractions.
  575. 20:06The amino acids take on a specific
  576. 20:08shape. However,
  577. 20:10mass spectrometry cannot tell between,
  578. 20:12for example, an OH group,
  579. 20:13oxygen-hydrogen group attached to a
  580. 20:16specific location of a protein or
  581. 20:18another location. And that actually
  582. 20:20changes the function of that protein
  583. 20:22variation a lot. Mass spectrometry
  584. 20:24cannot do that. Nautilus, with iterative
  585. 20:27mapping, and I've actually made a quite
  586. 20:29a few videos about this company already,
  587. 20:31can do it.
  588. 20:32So, here what we have is, again, an
  589. 20:35emerging data value chain and we can go
  590. 20:36deeper. Nautilus can read intact
  591. 20:39proteins one molecule at a time. It
  592. 20:41understands perfectly the difference
  593. 20:43between one proteoform and another. And
  594. 20:45therefore, it gains a level of nuance
  595. 20:48that traditionally has been impossible.
  596. 20:50It's unblocking, unlocking a data layer
  597. 20:53which is foundational to everything in
  598. 20:56this emerging value chain that we are
  599. 20:57talking about. If you can get an
  600. 20:59exhaustive read at the proteomic level,
  601. 21:02there's nothing that you can't do in the
  602. 21:03body to mediate any physiological
  603. 21:05process.
  604. 21:07Here's what's very interesting about the
  605. 21:08company.
  606. 21:09The first assay, the first vertical
  607. 21:12read, the first read of a small part of
  608. 21:14the proteome took them 5 years. This was
  609. 21:16the tau protein. Now, the last one,
  610. 21:19oncology, which they're moving into now,
  611. 21:21took 1 year. And now they're looking
  612. 21:23into months and projecting 20 assays by
  613. 21:26mid-2028.
  614. 21:28This data layer, I think, is going to be
  615. 21:31among the most valuable parts
  616. 21:33of the value chain. Because if you can't
  617. 21:35read the proteome, you can't really do
  618. 21:36all that much, and AI actually doesn't
  619. 21:39fully extend. I mean, you can't play the
  620. 21:40LEGO puzzle. And therefore, I don't
  621. 21:42believe you can unblock the whole health
  622. 21:44span thing. Anyways,
  623. 21:46there's there's essentially a pathway
  624. 21:48called AK-1,
  625. 21:50and it's the same pathway that Recursion
  626. 21:527735
  627. 21:54is um working with. 7735,
  628. 21:57remember, is essentially this one that
  629. 21:59just received the FDA green light. And
  630. 22:02it was designed in 10 months and with
  631. 22:04just 242 compounds. However, Recursion
  632. 22:07doesn't really have an in-depth read of
  633. 22:10of what's happening in the proteome
  634. 22:11there. So, how much better could the
  635. 22:13molecule get if they do gain a read on
  636. 22:15that on the AK-1 pathway, which, by the
  637. 22:17way, is the one that I mentioned
  638. 22:19previously on oncology? The answer is
  639. 22:21Recursion's machine could get a lot
  640. 22:23smarter, a lot more predictive, and
  641. 22:25actually just turn this condition, AK-1,
  642. 22:29it's essentially
  643. 22:30a pathway involved in a good number of
  644. 22:33tumors. It could just turn this thing
  645. 22:34into background noise. If you as a human
  646. 22:37have these biomarkers being generated in
  647. 22:38the background and AI models working for
  648. 22:40you, and then the right function is
  649. 22:42seamless and delivered via the
  650. 22:44distribution layer, be it Hims, be it
  651. 22:46Tempus, be it Oura, be it be it Whoop,
  652. 22:49essentially this becomes a nothing. You
  653. 22:51know, it just disappears into the
  654. 22:52background, and AI truly becomes
  655. 22:54predictive for you, and thus extends
  656. 22:56your health span. So, therefore,
  657. 22:58Recursion is doing very well. It's
  658. 23:00already outperforming the broader
  659. 23:02market, as we're talking about in this
  660. 23:03slide, but it's doing so with a very
  661. 23:05thin read of proteomics. So, my bet is,
  662. 23:08you know, these guys are exchanging
  663. 23:10money now for data. My prediction is
  664. 23:13Nautilus essentially and Recursion form
  665. 23:16another link in the chain very soon.
  666. 23:17Now,
  667. 23:18we can trace the emerging data value
  668. 23:21chain along separate things that these
  669. 23:23companies are doing,
  670. 23:24which and you know, maybe that data
  671. 23:26value chain hasn't been formalized yet,
  672. 23:28but if you look at the biological
  673. 23:29advances, then it can be. There's a
  674. 23:31thing called PI3K, which essentially
  675. 23:35changes stuff in the cell membrane, and
  676. 23:37that change
  677. 23:39when it goes, you know, when the when
  678. 23:40the switch goes uncontrolled, it
  679. 23:42basically makes the cell proliferate and
  680. 23:45divide and grow uncontrollably. It does
  681. 23:47so via the AKT pathway that we talked
  682. 23:50about. It switches on the mechanism of
  683. 23:52grow and survive, and this absolutely
  684. 23:55seems to make cells grow uncontrollably.
  685. 23:57So, we have Nautilus
  686. 23:59working on the AKT1 proteoform assay,
  687. 24:03getting an exhaustive read of what's
  688. 24:04happening there with the proteome. Then
  689. 24:06we have Recursion Pharmaceuticals with
  690. 24:09REC 7735,
  691. 24:12which seems to switch off
  692. 24:14the jam switch. So, the thing that goes
  693. 24:15wrong that makes PI3K trigger this
  694. 24:19uncontrolled growth in the cell. And by
  695. 24:21the way, it does so with 100x plus
  696. 24:24more selective efficiency than does
  697. 24:26anything in the market, which is the
  698. 24:27reason the molecule is working so well,
  699. 24:30and it seems to be far less toxic than
  700. 24:32alternatives in the market. This is all
  701. 24:34covered in depth. Then,
  702. 24:36we have
  703. 24:37Tempus sequencing the H1047R
  704. 24:41tumors, which seem to be an ultimate
  705. 24:43expression of this pathway being
  706. 24:45uncontrolled. And you know, they they do
  707. 24:47acknowledge that it does emerge from the
  708. 24:50PIK3CA pathway, which I believe is more
  709. 24:53specific to solid tumors, but it's
  710. 24:55essentially a specific version of this
  711. 24:58pathway that I'm explaining here. Bottom
  712. 24:59line is
  713. 25:00these companies are doing things along
  714. 25:02the same pathway and they're just not
  715. 25:04connected yet. They're naturally going
  716. 25:06to be connected because they have modes
  717. 25:07that to me are clearly defined. Nautilus
  718. 25:10is very hard to replicate at this stage
  719. 25:12even though this is pre-commercial and
  720. 25:14obviously the financial risk in these
  721. 25:15companies I think is meaningful. Less so
  722. 25:18as you move up to the distribution layer
  723. 25:20which is where I think we're seeing
  724. 25:21meaningful traction at the moment. But
  725. 25:23this is clearly just an emerging data
  726. 25:25value chain and it'll goes back to the
  727. 25:28key value pair. For now
  728. 25:30the company that I'm most interested in
  729. 25:31out of these and it doesn't exclude me
  730. 25:33going long any of these companies that
  731. 25:35I'm mentioning is Nautilus.
  732. 25:37The iterative mapping technology that
  733. 25:39they use that I cover in depth in a deep
  734. 25:40dive no one's close to.
  735. 25:43Recursion efficiency is unmatched and
  736. 25:45then Tempus has a strong hold on US
  737. 25:47hospitals meaning
  738. 25:48I have clear visibility into who is
  739. 25:50going to be using
  740. 25:52the iterative mapping technology that
  741. 25:53Nautilus is bringing to the world. And
  742. 25:56they are now starting to commercialize
  743. 25:59the platform. I covered this in the Q2
  744. 26:002026 earnings reports digest. I believe
  745. 26:04I didn't make a video. Essentially
  746. 26:05what's happening with Nautilus
  747. 26:06biotechnology is they've pivoted away
  748. 26:09from releasing into the market as
  749. 26:11generic platform that allows you to read
  750. 26:14any parts of the proteome you want and
  751. 26:16they're now focusing on verticals in
  752. 26:17which they have seen they allegedly
  753. 26:20claim to have seen real demand from the
  754. 26:21marketplace and the science is at a
  755. 26:23place where it could actually unlock
  756. 26:25meaningful
  757. 26:27resolution at the proteomic level. So
  758. 26:29this thing is working and my view is
  759. 26:32that every condition at some point runs
  760. 26:34through proteins. I believe that on a
  761. 26:35first principles basis
  762. 26:37this is a reality. Of course proteins
  763. 26:40emerge from the epigenome which tell
  764. 26:42cells what parts of the genome to read.
  765. 26:44So you could actually very much change
  766. 26:46the proteome just by getting deep into
  767. 26:48the genomic layer. But certainly the
  768. 26:50proteomic layer is how you read where
  769. 26:53this function is manifesting and
  770. 26:55perpetuating. And so, this is incredibly
  771. 26:57important. I believe that every
  772. 26:59condition runs through proteins. And so,
  773. 27:01you have Nautilus Biotechnology working
  774. 27:03on these various conditions that emerge
  775. 27:06from dysfunction in these proteins. So,
  776. 27:08you have tau, alpha-synuclein,
  777. 27:11AKT1, P53, and EGFR, which are the ones
  778. 27:14in the oncology
  779. 27:16um data value chain, which are very
  780. 27:17important. Insulin for diabetes, cardiac
  781. 27:20proteins for heart disease, cytokines
  782. 27:22for for inflammation. This is where we
  783. 27:25have the thinnest read at the moment. I
  784. 27:27don't believe that reading into the
  785. 27:29genome is a problem. I think RNA we're
  786. 27:30doing pretty well. Protein amounts with
  787. 27:33mass spectrometry is actually quite well
  788. 27:35solved. What we don't have is proteoform
  789. 27:37resolution. So, we have Nautilus, which
  790. 27:40at the time of me recording this video,
  791. 27:42I'm actually I started doing this before
  792. 27:44market open. Yesterday, it was trading
  793. 27:47at $170 million. That's the market cap.
  794. 27:50They have a thin balance sheet, but I I
  795. 27:52have seen management
  796. 27:54exhibiting a clear ability to push the
  797. 27:56science forward. Commer- um They They've
  798. 27:58started to commercialize. Um the first
  799. 28:01revenue actually came in in Q2 from a
  800. 28:03foundation that they're working in. I
  801. 28:05believe it's the tau proteoforms that
  802. 28:07they're leveraging.
  803. 28:08And they're running lean, too.
  804. 28:10So, OPEX is down year over year. There
  805. 28:12is meaningful financial risk here. So,
  806. 28:14this company is burning $14 million a
  807. 28:16quarter and actually expects to raise
  808. 28:18capital before mid-2027.
  809. 28:21So, there is clear dilution risk. This
  810. 28:24is very early stage, but to me, this is
  811. 28:27a very appealing company. Right? So, if
  812. 28:30management continues executing in a
  813. 28:32disciplined manner and just continues
  814. 28:34doing what they've been doing, this
  815. 28:35valuation for a key components of the
  816. 28:38value chain to me seems ridiculous.
  817. 28:40If this works, what are we looking at
  818. 28:42here? A company valued at least in the
  819. 28:44tens of billions of dollars, because
  820. 28:45everyone is going to be pulling from
  821. 28:47this data layer that no one else really
  822. 28:49seems to be able to unlock for now.
  823. 28:51>> [snorts]
  824. 28:52>> However, you know, I'm long Nautilus,
  825. 28:54but my allocation there is micro. I do
  826. 28:56continue to plan to build on it, but my
  827. 28:59allocation is Hims I have a giga
  828. 29:01position, Immunity Bio I have a smaller
  829. 29:03one.
  830. 29:04It's reasonably sized, but I would say
  831. 29:06very much pursuing a level of asymmetry
  832. 29:08in which, you know, the whole biology
  833. 29:10thing could go up 100,000, 200,000 X,
  834. 29:13whatever over the next 5 to 10 decades,
  835. 29:15but it's something that I'd be prepared
  836. 29:17to have it go to zero. So, it's an
  837. 29:19additional layer of asymmetry in my
  838. 29:21portfolio. As I said, there are
  839. 29:23companies that are also building
  840. 29:24appealing components of this emerging
  841. 29:26value chain. We have AbCellera, which
  842. 29:29has essentially built the discovery
  843. 29:31platform once and can really just bind
  844. 29:34onto any target onto the body. I covered
  845. 29:36that in the video, I believe it was last
  846. 29:38week. Immunity Bio, I'm long this
  847. 29:39company as I said, has the ability to
  848. 29:42reboot the immune system and program it
  849. 29:44in any specific direction. And then Mik
  850. 29:46Therapeutics, which I'm not long, but
  851. 29:48I'm quite fond of that third branch of
  852. 29:50the immune system, which has also been
  853. 29:52widely abandoned
  854. 29:54by the rest of the industry.
  855. 29:56So, this is going to be a long journey.
  856. 29:58I'm going to continue studying
  857. 29:59companies, I'm going to continue
  858. 30:00building positions, and I'll let you
  859. 30:02guys know.
  860. 30:03But the bottom line is that every ticker
  861. 30:04adds key value pairs or makes them
  862. 30:07sharper. We are gaining a read on
  863. 30:09biology, which is going to be probably
  864. 30:11at the atom level resolution,
  865. 30:13and we're just going to have something
  866. 30:15which is going to be far more valuable
  867. 30:17than anything we've seen in the world
  868. 30:18today. So, you have companies like
  869. 30:20Amazon and and Netflix and stuff like
  870. 30:22that being pretty valuable just by
  871. 30:24letting people buy whatever or letting
  872. 30:26people watch whatever. This is the
  873. 30:28equivalent, but on the biology side of
  874. 30:30things. The risk actually goes up as you
  875. 30:33go down the value chain. So, in my
  876. 30:35opinion, the distribution layer makes a
  877. 30:37lot more sense. If you look at the unit
  878. 30:39economics of Hims or Tempus AI, they are
  879. 30:41far better. Hims is actually has been
  880. 30:43producing producing cash from operations
  881. 30:45for a long time. Even free cash flow per
  882. 30:48share went up exponentially before they
  883. 30:50entered this recent period of
  884. 30:52investment. So, the risk goes up as you
  885. 30:55look at smaller components of the value
  886. 30:57chain, but also does the upside. So,
  887. 30:59just to recap today's video.
  888. 31:03This superhuman AI that we're building
  889. 31:05that's going to extend health spans is a
  890. 31:06function of reading into someone's
  891. 31:08biology, understanding the treatments at
  892. 31:10the atom level increasingly and then
  893. 31:12reading the state after. We have all
  894. 31:15these tickers that we covered. Butterfly
  895. 31:16for organs, Nautilus for proteoforms,
  896. 31:19Tempus for tumor DNA and RNA, Hims is at
  897. 31:23the distribution level,
  898. 31:24but also very much getting a read into
  899. 31:26an increasing level volume of biomarkers
  900. 31:29via Hims Labs, for example. Grail's
  901. 31:31Galleri cancer test, which uh recently
  902. 31:34received some interesting encouraging
  903. 31:36data,
  904. 31:37and uh the stock went up a lot. Then we
  905. 31:40have the treatments, you know, we have
  906. 31:41Recursion Pharmaceuticals discovering
  907. 31:43novel biology and understanding how to
  908. 31:46tune drugs to address that biology. XmAb
  909. 31:49antibodies and T-cell engagers uh as
  910. 31:51verified during the Q2 2026 earnings
  911. 31:54report.
  912. 31:55Immunity Bio for the IL-15 uh super
  913. 31:59agonist to bind onto that receptor and
  914. 32:01reboot natural killer T-cells.
  915. 32:04And then we have MiNK Therapeutics for
  916. 32:06off-the-shelf invariant natural killer
  917. 32:08T-cells, which again I did cover in
  918. 32:11depth and the science is fascinating.
  919. 32:13For the state after again, it's very
  920. 32:14much the same. We have Butterfly,
  921. 32:15Nautilus, Tempus AI and Hims.
  922. 32:18Every every one of these tickers adds
  923. 32:20pairs or makes them sharper. So, the
  924. 32:22resolution is going up. But again,
  925. 32:25the lower you go into the value chain,
  926. 32:28I think risk goes up. Eventually,
  927. 32:31if I had to bet, the most extreme
  928. 32:33rewards will come from the lowest level
  929. 32:35participants in the value chain that
  930. 32:38also produce unit economics that no one
  931. 32:40else can replicate. A candidate to that
  932. 32:42tentatively in my opinion is Recursion
  933. 32:44Pharmaceuticals. Very much and this is
  934. 32:47also the case with Nautilus, although as
  935. 32:48I said, risk goes up. But everything is
  936. 32:52going to emerge from the proteomic
  937. 32:53layer. So if Nautilus is the single
  938. 32:55dominant player in that, the rewards can
  939. 32:58be extreme, although again, it can go to
  940. 33:00zero. So I am certainly allocating
  941. 33:03accordingly. But if you look at
  942. 33:04Recursion and its ability to uncover
  943. 33:07novel biology, that's extremely
  944. 33:08interesting as well. So I wouldn't
  945. 33:10discard a company because it's lower
  946. 33:12down in the value chain, but certainly I
  947. 33:14would
  948. 33:15bear in mind that the risk does go up.
  949. 33:18So
  950. 33:19that's it for today's video, quite a
  951. 33:21dense one. Uh lots of information to put
  952. 33:23together. You have the written form
  953. 33:24available in the blog. You can see the
  954. 33:27link there on the screen. My positions
  955. 33:29are Hims, ImmunityBio, and Nautilus
  956. 33:31Biotechnology to date. And as I said,
  957. 33:34I'm long these companies in essentially
  958. 33:37logarithmically declining allocation.
  959. 33:39I'm very comfortable making a massive
  960. 33:41bet on Hims. I've been building that for
  961. 33:43a long time. And then I'm comfortable
  962. 33:45making bets on ImmunityBio and Nautilus,
  963. 33:48but in decreasing levels of allocation
  964. 33:50to the point that Nautilus is
  965. 33:52essentially a micro allocation in my
  966. 33:54portfolio that nonetheless, I do plan to
  967. 33:57make bigger.
  968. 34:06All right, guys, giga video today, lots
  969. 34:08of information. I hope that at the very
  970. 34:10least this video has transformed your
  971. 34:12worldview and opened your eyes to an
  972. 34:14emerging value chain which I as I said,
  973. 34:16I think it's going to give birth to the
  974. 34:18most valuable subscription service on
  975. 34:20earth. A big candidate to that by the
  976. 34:22way in my opinion is Hims. So thank you
  977. 34:24very much for joining me today. As
  978. 34:25always, if you enjoyed the deep dive,
  979. 34:27could you please like and subscribe and
  980. 34:28share this with someone else whom you
  981. 34:30think will enjoy it. These deep dives
  982. 34:31updates videos are for free. And so, the
  983. 34:34only way this grows is with your help.
  984. 34:35So, thank you very much in advance. Take
  985. 34:37care, and until next time.
