APR 8, 202630 MIN

Description

<p>Simon Erickson is back with three major investing trends that every growth investor needs on their radar in 2026. First up: weight loss drugs are bigger than ever, with oral GLP-1 pills from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly now winning broad insurance coverage and slashing out-of-pocket costs — potentially tripling the total addressable market to $190 billion by 2035. Then Simon breaks down the picks-and-shovels plays powering the AI data center buildout — including co-packaged optics, on-demand fuel cell energy, and quantum computing — and makes the case for why Bloom Energy may be his top pick in the space right now.Finally, the episode covers what could be the largest IPO in history: SpaceX is reportedly targeting a $2 trillion valuation and a $75 billion raise as soon as this summer — and the implications for the entire space economy are massive. From orbital data centers to Starlink&#39;s satellite internet dominance and the Starship launch vehicle, Simon breaks down what investors need to know before SpaceX goes public.
