The AI stack has a physical layer, and it gets paid no matter who wins. Builders like $PWR, $EME, $FIX, $AGX and $STRL sit underneath the software narrative.

Jensen told the trades “this is your time” because the constraint is no longer just chips. It is the critical path from fuel to rack, and that path is staffed by scarce electricians, engineers and contractors.
The investment case is simple but not risk-free: demand can be delayed, projects can be repriced and labor costs can squeeze margins. Still, physical bottlenecks tend to get paid before the final application layer.
Watch backlog, execution and working capital. Own the layer that must be built before every AI winner can ship. DYOR. Not FA.
