In this article we would like to share our analysis which reveals three primary pillars underpinning the rally: Leveraged Balance Sheet Convexity: $Strategy(MSTR)$ acts as a high-beta surrogate for Bitcoin due to its capital structure, low-coupon convertible debt, and market Net Asset Value (mNAV) premium dynamics, yielding an operational beta multiplier exceeding 5.0x during the session.

Beyond Hyperscalers: Why AI Compute Growth Won’t End Even If Big‑Tech Spending Slows
NVIDIA broke out its data‑center business into two buckets in the latest earnings report: hyperscaler customers, and ACIE, which encompasses industrial, enterprise and sovereign clients. ACIE is now where most of the company’s new‑found growth is coming from. Analysing AI computing capacity should never hinge entirely on whether big‑tech players keep ramping up outlays. AI extends far beyond a small group of large cloud firms, with embodied intelligence and many other real‑world applications opening up extensive demand avenues. The popular narrative that AI compute infrastructure would hit its ceiling once hyperscaler expenditure loses momentum does not hold water, and NVIDIA’s quarterly results have now laid that argument to rest. The brutal correction sweeping the AI compute supply chain

NVDA and MRVL: Two Strong Earnings Reports, Two Completely Different Scripts
Wednesday's $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and Thursday's $Marvell Technology(MRVL)$ : Two Strong Earnings Reports, Two Completely Different Scripts $MRVL Marvell plunged after hours, immediately erasing the gains of the past few days. After reviewing $NVDA NVIDIA's and Marvell's earnings back-to-back, my biggest takeaway is this: both delivered excellent results, yet the market applied two entirely different pricing frameworks. NVIDIA: sold off first, then rallied Marvell: strong numbers, stock got hammered Explaining this away as simple "buy the rumor, sell the news" feels insufficient. The real difference lies in how much the market had already priced in before the reports were released. First, let's look at

Software Strikes Back: Salesforce and CrowdStrike Jump 20% as AI Turns Into a Revenue Engine
For months, investors treated AI as an existential threat to software companies. The latest earnings reports offered a different possibility: companies with proprietary enterprise data and deeply embedded workflows may be able to charge for AI instead of being replaced by it. Salesforce surged 22.6%, CrowdStrike climbed 20.5%, while the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF gained roughly 7.6%. ServiceNow and Palo Alto Networks also joined the rebound. Salesforce: Agentforce is starting to generate real revenue Salesforce reported fiscal Q2 revenue of $11.35 billion, up 11% year over year, and raised its full-year revenue outlook to $46.1–46.4 billion. The AI numbers attracted even more attention: Agentforce and Data 360 ARR approached $3.9 billion, up 210%. Agentforce ARR exceeded $1.
On Mon, 10 Aug 2026 comeback kid $Intel(INTC)$ made the headlines again when it announced a $15 billion common stock offering to support skyrocketing customer AI demand. (see below) Even before US trading begins, early on Tue, 11 Aug 2026, the chip maker confirmed, it had priced the stock offering at $95 a share and upsized the offer by additional $5 billion to $20 billion. (see above) Here’s the thing - INTC’s $20 billion equity raise is more than a routine financing exercise: It is a calculated attempt to convert INTC’s powerful share-price recovery into the factory capacity needed to compete in AI infrastructure and 3rd-party chip manufacturing. The immediate sell-off reflects dilution anxiety, but the deeper question is whether the offering: S
