$ARM Holdings(ARM)$ I'm continuing to DCA into $Arm Holdings (ARM)$ because I believe the long-term story remains intact despite the stock's strong rally and expensive valuation. ARM is no longer just a smartphone story — its architecture is becoming increasingly important across cloud computing, AI infrastructure, automotive and edge devices. The biggest reason I remain bullish is AI. As AI workloads expand, data centers need more efficient CPUs alongside GPUs, and ARM's performance-per-watt advantage makes it increasingly attractive. ARM is also moving further up the value chain with its own CPU products, giving it the potential to capture more revenue from the growing AI ecosystem. Of course, valuation and volatility are risks, especially a
TOPAI can be the reason, but ARM's data center CPU share still looks too small for this valuation. DCA helps entry timing, not multiple risk lol

I see Tuesday’s semiconductor selloff as normal profit-taking and valuation compression rather than a fundamental breakdown. Higher Treasury yields, oil above $90 and crowded AI trades created the perfect setup for a sharp pullback, especially after the strong recent rally in memory and optical stocks. For me, the key point is that AI demand, memory pricing and data-center CapEx remain intact. I’ll be watching the 50-day moving averages, particularly for $Micron Technology(MU)$ and $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ , to see whether the sector can stabilize and reclaim key levels. Personally, I’m leaning toward A + E: normal profit-taking and an opportunity to accumulate in stages. I wouldn’t rush in after one red day
TOPMemory pricing still looks early cycle to me, so this pullback feels more like a reset than damage. AI server demand for HBM and DDR5 is the part I care about most 👀

Broadcom Set to Rewrite the AI Narrative: $588 Target Implies 50% Upside
Amid the relentless AI infrastructure investment boom, one stock has remained conspicuously undervalued — $Broadcom(AVGO)$ . With shares up only about 13% year-to-date, the stock has significantly lagged its AI peers. Yet, as demand for custom AI accelerators (XPUs) explodes and partnerships with Google, Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic deepen, Broadcom stands at a critical inflection point to redefine the AI supply chain. We are initiating coverage with a Strong Buy rating and a $588 price target, representing roughly 50% upside from current levels. XPU: The Hidden Champion of the AI Accelerator Battlefield Unlike $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ , whi
TOPBroadcom could be one of the most overlooked winners of the AI infrastructure boom. Unlike Nvidia, Broadcom is not betting solely on general-purpose GPUs. Its custom AI accelerators, networking chips and optical connectivity give hyperscalers the tools to build AI systems tailored to their own workloads. The biggest attraction is its customer base. Google, Meta and OpenAI are all expanding partnerships with Broadcom, potentially creating a powerful multi-year demand pipeline. Broadcom also benefits from VMware, giving the company a second high-margin growth engine beyond semiconductors. The biggest risks are stretched expectations, customer concentration and hyperscaler capex eventually slowing. Still, if custom AI chips become increasingly important, Broadcom could be one of the strongest long-term AI infrastructure plays after Nvidia. @AI_FocusedTrader [思考]

They fall into three very different buckets: AI infrastructure, cyclical memory/storage, and defensive/optionality plays. I opt for MU. Why MU is my #1 The important thing happening right now is that we're seeing a violent rotation within the AI trade, not necessarily deterioration in the underlying AI infrastructure demand. On August 18, MU fell about 7% to $940.76, while NVDA fell 2.3%, SNDK 9%, and SK Hynix about 9%. That's interesting because Micron's fundamentals are exceptionally strong. Micron Technology And Micron says AI/server demand is causing tight DRAM and NAND supply, with HBM4 ramping rapidly. That creates a particularly attractive setup: AI demand → more GPUs → more HBM → more memory content → pricing power → huge The catch is that Micron is still a cyclical memory company
TOPMU first. That pricing power fades fast once supply catches up. How many quarters do these margins really hold?

The Line Between Results and Share Prices Snapped on Tuesday
Hello. Three companies reported on Tuesday. Put the three side by side and no order makes sense. $Fabrinet(FN)$ beat on revenue by about 3.1 per cent and on earnings per share by about 7.5 per cent, both records — and closed down 19.38 per cent at US$482.59. $Home Depot(HD)$ beat on both lines, posted net sales of about US$47.9 billion and its best comparable sales since 2022, and reaffirmed full-year guidance — and closed down 0.12 per cent. $BIDU-SW(09888)$ missed on both revenue and profit, with earnings per share about 22.7 per cent short — and closed down 12.73 per cent. Full marks fell 19 per cent, a pass fell 0.
TOPI prefer the former: This is Apple trading a small portion of its profits in exchange for greater regulatory certainty. On the surface, the new model of 5% does mean that Apple's commission space in the EU has been compressed, but I think what really matters is not this 5%, but to "price" the antitrust disputes that have lasted for many years as much as possible. For a company like Apple, which has a huge ecology and ultra-high service profit margin, the most fearful thing is not to give up a little profit, but that the rules are uncertain for a long time, and even it constantly faces fines, restrictions and forced reconstruction of its business model.
