The outperformance of semiconductor $VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ companies isn’t a new thing. However, 2-3 years of outperformance are normally met with a mild correction afterwards. 2026 could be the fourth year in a row of outperformance, suggesting 2027 could see a correction - not that markets listen to historic trends! PS: Here’s my framework for determining whether a company is investable: 1. Financials - I look for consistently high returns on capital, high FCFps growth, margin expansion, and affordable debt. 2. Qualitative - Here I look for high market share, a mission critical product, a business not overly reliant on raw materials and expensive to maintain physical assets. 3. Valuation - I infer how much growth the market is pricing in

Samsung’s profit surged 19x, yet memory stocks sold off hard. So what exactly is the market pricing in? Samsung delivered an almost flawless Q2 earnings guidance. Revenue is expected to reach 171 trillion KRW, while operating profit is expected to hit 89.4 trillion KRW, up nearly 19x year over year. This is not a normal cyclical recovery. This is a profit explosion driven by AI servers, HBM demand, and DRAM price increases. In theory, this kind of guidance should have ignited the entire memory sector. But the market’s reaction was the opposite: A sharp selloff. And that is exactly what makes today important. Memory stocks did not fall because Samsung’s earnings were weak. They did not fall because HBM demand suddenly disappeared. They fell because the market is shifting from pricing in ear

AI infrastructure is entering a new phase. In the first phase, the market was trading one question: Who has the most GPUs? Then the focus shifted to data centers. Who can secure enough power, land, cooling, servers, and deployment capacity? But now, the question is changing again. As AI Mega Clusters move from hundreds of thousands of GPUs toward millions of GPUs, the bottleneck is no longer just GPUs. It is no longer just power. The next bottleneck is whether multiple data centers can be connected into one unified AI training cluster. That is Scale-Across. SemiAnalysis recently published a deep dive on this topic. Their core view is clear: future AI clusters cannot rely forever on the expansion of a single campus. More cloud providers will have to connect multiple data centers, multiple c

When A Stock Going Up Is Actually Bad News | Daily Pulse 9 July | 🦖 🔍 The Angle Everyone is staring at DBS’s new record high, but the real story today is that the “worst” performing bank stock on the screen is actually the one that quietly broke my own income test. UOB jumps almost 4%, OCBC has one of the strongest balance sheets in town, and yet DBS is the only one where price alone has pushed total yield, including special capital returns, below the line I’m willing to use for fresh retirement money. On paper nothing bad happened at the bank, the tension is that the tape looks celebratory while the CPF and SRS math just got harder. 💰 What It Means For You If you are 55 in Bedok and thinking of topping up DBS with CPF or SRS, today you are paying more for every dollar of income than you w

U.S. stocks closed mixed today following a re-escalation in geopolitical tensions. Main market indexes experienced a highly volatile session, initially tumbling before trimming some losses. The $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ fell-1.1%, probably an initial validation of the overheated signals studied for the previous week, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ closed slightly negative -0.3%, and the $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ closed +0.3% despite of the selloff in premarket this morning.

$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ Stock Analysis: Why a +7.26% Rebound Preceded a -15% Crash — What the Data Was Really Saying SOXL surged 7.26% on July 6, then collapsed 15.06% the very next session on July 7. For anyone watching only the price chart, that sequence looks contradictory — a sharp rally followed almost immediately by one of the steepest single-day drops of the year. But underneath the surface, the structural data behind this move was already pointing toward exactly this outcome before it happened. What Actually Happened On July 6, SOXL closed at $194.60, up 7.26% — the largest single-session advance in recent coverage of the ticker. On the surface, that kind of move often gets read as a turning point, the start of
