American electricity shortages remain an unavoidable market issue. Last year's analysis pointed out that short-term energy solutions mainly rely on two pillars: nuclear power and traditional gas-fired generation.



There's an interesting case. Howmet Aerospace, a company that specializes in manufacturing high-temperature alloy blades for aircraft engines and industrial gas turbines, is a leading player in this field globally. Looking at its stock performance makes it clear—rising from a few dozen dollars in 2024 to $200, with an astonishing increase and little to no pullback.

The underlying logic is quite straightforward: the power demand from AI data centers is skyrocketing, making gas turbines an emergency solution. But this company has a fatal weakness—strong technology but limited delivery capacity.

This is where the opportunity lies. If there is an industrial chain domestically that can participate in this sector or directly replace Howmet Aerospace, it could alleviate the energy crisis in the short term. In simple terms, the bottlenecks in the supply chain are often the most valuable points.

Gas turbine blades are really a bottleneck. Howmet's stock soared from tens to 200, which is outrageous. Is there a team domestically capable of doing this? --- AI power shortages are driving up demand for gas turbines, but the delivery capacity is the bottleneck. Whoever can mass produce will profit. --- Supply chain bottlenecks = money-printing machines. I see through this logic now. --- Wait, are gas turbine blades really that profitable? Why hasn't anyone focused on this market before? --- Howmet's recent surge is indeed extraordinary, but with such high technical barriers, can domestically produced alternatives really replace them? We still need to wait and see. --- Energy shortages + AI expansion, this is a real demand. But don’t be blinded by the stock price increases; delivery is the key.

Wow, Howmet's recent surge is truly impressive, but the key issue is still the delivery lag. --- Bottlenecks are actually a gold mine; domestic companies should seize this opportunity. --- Regarding gas turbine blades, it feels like the tipping point is right in front of us. --- $200 without a correction? That must mean a severe shortage; it's crazy. --- Basically, it's still that AI's appetite is too big, and the power supply is being overwhelmed. --- The ceiling on delivery capacity is a critical point; this is the vulnerability. --- Is there a chance for domestic substitution of gas turbine blades? It seems extremely challenging. --- AI data centers are consuming electricity at an insane rate, and the traditional energy system is starting to strain. --- Supply chain shortages = pricing power; this logic makes sense. --- When Howmet gets stuck, it's a window of opportunity for domestic players.

Howmet's surge is indeed crazy, but the delivery capacity being a bottleneck is really impressive. If domestic companies can take on this order... Sigh, the potential is quite large. --- For gas turbine blades, it's basically a battle for market positioning. Whoever can supply stably wins. --- Wait, is this logic that the AI power shortage drives up gas demand, and then Howmet gets full? If domestic companies can truly replace them, this is indeed a hot opportunity. --- The increase from tens to 200 percent is a bit outrageous... But if the real bottleneck is capacity rather than technology, then there is indeed room for operation. --- Nuclear energy can't save the short term, and gas turbines can't be produced either. Isn't this a natural arbitrage opportunity? --- Is the ceiling for Howmet just opportunity? That's interesting. I agree that the supply chain is the hard currency—this argument makes sense. --- Energy shortages → increased gas demand → insufficient blade supply → soaring prices. This logical chain is indeed valid.

Gas turbine blades are indeed a good business. Howmet's surge is outrageous, just riding the AI power shortage's benefits. The problem is the delivery capacity ceiling—that's the biggest opportunity. Do we have any companies working on this?

Gas turbine blades are indeed a bottleneck. Howmet's stock price is soaring, but the real issue is their production capacity can't keep up. --- Once AI data centers start, electricity demand will surge straight up. This wave of energy anxiety should last for a few more years. --- Strong technology but weak delivery—this is an opportunity for domestic companies. Why hasn't anyone fully exploited this area yet? --- From a few dozen dollars to 200, it shows how hungry the market is... When will local substitutes be available? --- Supply chain bottlenecks are the most valuable. This statement hits hard. Everyone who understands is now copying this track. --- The capacity ceiling for Howmet is right there; it depends on who can fill this gap. The time window won't be too long. --- Don't just look at the stock price increase; the key is that this guy can't produce, which is the biggest business opportunity. --- Energy shortages combined with the AI boom—gas turbine blades are basically printing money.
