JFC. I have XLU shares/LEAPs and they are the boringest boring defensive thing in my port. This 9-part GPT vomit is not making me more excited about them
#TLDR
---
**Ticker:** XLU
**Direction:** Up
**Prognosis:** Jan 2027 $60 LEAPS
**Bottleneck:** Physics (You can't Amazon Prime a substation)
**Thesis:** AI runs on electricity, not vibes. New GPU clusters require ungodly amounts of power, and the US grid is ancient. Tech giants are panic-buying power contracts. While everyone fights over SaaS stocks, utilities have a monopoly on the actual fuel for the AI revolution. Rate cuts plus massive capex spending means this "boomer" sector is about to rip.
