Episode 28 revisits Shopify's dramatic pivot away from building its own fulfillment network and back to its core commerce platform. Lucas and Luna break down the 2022-2023 capital expenditure cuts, the partnership with Flexport, and how Shopify's asset-light model now generates higher free cash flow margins. They compare it to Amazon's heavy logistics investment, discuss what the market is missing about SaaS operating leverage, and touch on CrowdStrike and Datadog as other growth stocks that shed low-margin businesses to refocus on high-margin software. A concrete look at why strategic subtraction often beats expansion.

Lucas and Luna dive into Datadog's recent 21% weekly surge, examining how its observability platform is becoming essential for companies managing AI workloads. They discuss why cloud monitoring demand is growing faster than the cloud itself, and what Datadog's performance says about the broader enterprise AI adoption cycle. With specific numbers and comparisons to CrowdStrike and Cloudflare, this episode explains why Datadog might be the purest growth play in the infrastructure layer right now.

Cloudflare's stock is up 24.5% in the past five days, and its AI Gateway is processing over a trillion inference requests a month. Lucas and Luna break down how Cloudflare went from a CDN to a critical piece of AI infrastructure, competing with cloud giants by sitting at the network edge. They discuss the Workers AI platform, the competitive dynamics against AWS and Google Cloud, and what it means for growth investors. If you're looking for a concrete example of a company riding the AI infrastructure tailwind without building expensive data centers, this episode explains why Cloudflare's strategy is resonating.

Cloudflare's stock surged 24% in a week, hitting $270.82, as enterprise networking demand accelerates.

In this episode of Growth Stocks with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine Shopify's sharp strategic pivot away from its own logistics network. With Shopify stock surging over 15% in the past five days to $118.71, the hosts break down how the company's decision to sell its fulfillment assets to Flexport in 2023 and return to a capital-light model has transformed its financial profile. They explore the numbers: a 25% reduction in operating expenses, gross margins expanding from 49% to nearly 55%, and free cash flow margins that now rival enterprise software peers. The conversation also ties this turnaround to a broader lesson for growth investors: when a company with a dominant software platform tries to build physical infrastructure, it can destroy value — but reversing that decision can unlock it. Lucas and Luna also discuss what this means for other platform companies tempted to vertically integrate, and how Shopify now sits as a cleaner growth compounder.

CrowdStrike's stock surged 10% in the past week, and Lucas and Luna dig into why. They examine the company's shift from endpoint protection to a cloud-native security platform that now touches identity, cloud workloads, and SIEM. With a specific look at the Falcon platform's module expansion and the massive total addressable market, they discuss why CrowdStrike trades at a premium and whether it can sustain its growth as competitors like Microsoft and SentinelOne crowd the space. Along the way, they touch on the broader rotation into growth stocks, the NASA ETF phenomenon, and the ad-free mission of the show. A focused look at one company's strategy to become the operating system for enterprise security.

Episode 22 of Growth Stocks with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna examine the May 2026 growth stock resurgence, anchored by Shopify's 15.3% weekly surge and CrowdStrike's 10.2% gain. They explore two unexpected catalysts: a rotation from mega-cap AI names into midsize growth plays and the surprising impact of the NASA ETF's SpaceX IPO access on retail demand for high-growth names. Lucas breaks down why the 7.3% jump in ARKK signals a broader shift in risk appetite, while Luna questions whether the move is sustainable given NVIDIA's 1.9% decline. They also discuss how Fed Governor Bowman's rate-hike warning has paradoxically fueled growth stock buying as investors bet on a 'no landing' scenario. The episode closes with a reflection on whether this rally is a head fake or the start of a new growth cycle.

SpaceX isn't public, but a NASA-themed ETF became the hottest retail vehicle to access its IPO. In two months, the NASA ETF has pulled in $2.6 billion, riding a wave of retail demand for private space exposure. Lucas and Luna break down the mechanics - how the ETF structures its allocation, why regulators haven't stepped in, and what it means for growth investors who typically can't touch pre-IPO giants. They also explore the broader hunger for private market access via ETFs, and whether this model could spread to other names like Stripe or Databricks. Plus: how SpaceX's rapid Starship launch cadence is changing the revenue story for investors. If you've ever wondered how to bet on SpaceX without accredited investor status, this episode is your playbook.

Lucas and Luna dig into a striking pattern in the May 30 data: mega-cap tech stocks like Microsoft and Meta are surging while high-multiple names like NVIDIA and Alphabet lag. They explore what's driving this rotation—from Fed governor Bowman's rate-hike warning to the crowding-out effect of government bond yields—and what it means for growth investors. Specific numbers: Microsoft up 7.6% in a week, ARKK up 7.3%, NVIDIA down 1.9%. The hosts connect this to a broader theme: as AI monetization narrows to the biggest platforms, growth is concentrating in the names that can actually deliver cash flows. A tight, data-driven conversation for investors watching the market's shifting center of gravity.

This episode digs into why growth stocks — from Shopify and CrowdStrike to Datadog and Palantir — are ripping higher even as Fed Governor Bowman warns against rate cuts. Lucas and Luna explore the disconnect between hawkish Fed chatter and a market that seems to have moved on. They look at the five-day numbers: Shopify up 15%, CrowdStrike up 10%, Datadog up 11%. With the ten-year Treasury yield holding around 4.5%, the old playbook says growth stocks should suffer. Instead, the market is telling a different story — one about earnings momentum, AI monetization, and a Fed that may be losing its grip on equity sentiment. The conversation touches on what this means for the second half of 2026 and whether the 'higher for longer' narrative has finally been priced in.
