Otavio (Tavi) Costa: Tech sector now more capital-intensive than mining sector
Tech surpasses mining in capital intensity

Otavio (Tavi) Costa, portfolio manager at Crescat Capital, observes a significant change in market dynamics. He points out that the technology sector has become more capital-intensive than mining, marking a fundamental shift. According to Costa, mining companies currently offer stronger margins, healthier balance sheets, and more attractive growth potential. He also suggests that miners present a more asymmetric way to invest in the artificial intelligence thesis.

Costa has previously highlighted the closure of a significant monetary gap and described gold as enduring “true money” rather than credit in earlier commentary. In separate analysis, he observed that agricultural commodities recently broke above nearly 20-year resistance levels as diesel prices and mortgage rates climbed, according to recent research. These earlier views add context to his current focus on shifting capital dynamics between sectors.
