๐ฐAppleโs New CEO John Ternus: Can He Restore the Magic in the AI Era or Just Keep the Ship Steady? ๐ฑ๐
$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple just named John Ternus as its next CEO, set to take the helm in September while Tim Cook moves to executive chairman. Ternus, the 50-year-old hardware chief known for being likeable, unflappable, and a company man through and through, inherits a colossus that has quadrupled sales to $416 billion and seen the stock massively outperform the S&P 500 under Cook (see the long-term chart showing Appleโs explosive run since the 2011 transition). Yet in the midst of the biggest technological upheaval since the smartphone era โ the AI revolution โ many wonder if Ternus can channel not just Cookโs operational excellence but also the revolutionary spark of Steve Jobs. The transition looks picture-perfect on paper: record iPhone sales,
๐ฐGoogle Smashes All-Time High on TPU Glory โ Can Earnings Deliver the Next Surprise Rocket or Trigger Sell-the-News? ๐๐
$Alphabet(GOOG)$ just punched a fresh all-time high, fueled by the blockbuster reveal of its eighth-generation Tensor Processing Unit at Google Cloud Next. This isnโt just incremental hardware โ itโs Google aggressively asserting itself as a true frontrunner in the AI infrastructure arms race, with TPUs now positioned as a credible, power-efficient alternative to NVIDIAโs dominance. The market is clearly pricing in a stronger cloud story and deeper vertical integration. But with the stock already at record territory, the big question looms: will this weekโs earnings keep the fireworks going, or will we see classic sell-the-news profit-taking? ๐ฑ Whatโs Driving the TPU-Fueled Breakout Eighth-Gen TPU Launch: Major leap in performance and efficiency,
$Salesforce.com(CRM)$ Don't be fooled by the Market which tends to overreact both ways. Crm is a fundamental sound company with Consistent profits & revenue. It is also buyIng back their own shares which are way underValued. The narrative can shift suddenly like what happened to Google a year ago.
AMD clearing $300 is symbolically powerful, but the more important question is whether fundamentals are still expanding faster than expectations. Right now, the market is no longer pricing AMD as a โcatch-up AI playโ but as a credible second pillar behind Nvidia. That re-rating is largely driven by MI300 traction and ecosystem validation. The issue is that expectations have moved just as quickly as the narrative. Why risk/reward is tightening: Valuation expansion first, earnings later: A large part of the move reflects multiple expansion rather than realised AI revenue scale. Execution gap vs Nvidia: CUDA moat, software maturity, and hyperscaler lock-in still favour Nvidia meaningfully. Supply chain cyclicality: Strength in Micron Technology and memory names signals a broader AI capex wave
$Intel(INTC)$ A move to $100 for Intel would require more than a single strong quarter. The results are encouraging, but the driver you highlighted, CPU scarcity, is typically cyclical, not structural. Can momentum sustain? Short term, yes: tight CPU supply + enterprise refresh cycles can support pricing and margins for a few quarters. Medium term, uncertain: once supply normalises, pricing power fades unless backed by clear performance leadership versus Advanced Micro Devices. AI gap remains: Intelโs data centre narrative still lags Nvidia in accelerators, which caps multiple expansion. So, $100 is possible only if execution + AI credibility + foundry progress all improve simultaneously. That is a high bar. Who benefits if CPUs are โbackโ?
The Nasdaqโ100 ETF (QQQ) concluded its corrective phase against the cycle from the April 2025 low at $555.50. Since that point, the instrument has advanced in a clear fiveโwave impulsive Elliott Wave structure, signaling renewed strength in the broader trend. From the March 31 low, wave 1 terminated at $587.74, followed by a modest pullback in wave 2 that ended at $571.68. After this retracement, the ETF extended higher in wave 3, which itself unfolded as an impulsive sequence of lesser degree. Within wave 3, wave ((i)) reached $590.61, while the subsequent pullback in wave ((ii)) ended at $578.40. The rally then accelerated, with wave ((iii)) advancing to $650.59 before wave ((iv)) corrected to $642.21. The final leg, wave ((v)), concluded at $656.92, thereby completing wave 3 in higher d

Iโm leaning toward C โ Semiconductors / AI infrastructure this earnings season. The strength in the $Philadelphia Semiconductor Index(SOX)$ and aggressive capex from $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ suggest this is more than a short-term rallyโitโs a multi-year buildout. The real story is expanding beyond chips into power, cooling, and data centers, which gives this theme stronger durability. Iโm more cautious on $Microsoft(MSFT)$ & $Alphabet
๐๐๐ The comeback story of $Intel(INTC)$ is a masterclass in what it means to be down but never out. For a while there Intel looks like it was losing its rhythm but now the critics are silenced with an astounding earnings report. Intel reached a record high of USD 85.22 on April 24 2026. This rally has eclipsed the previous all time high set on August 31 2000. The surge is driven by a fundamental shift in Intel's trajectory due to unprecedented AI server demand for server CPUs to support agentic AI, fueling a CPU renaissance. Successful high volume manufacturing on the 18A node has proven Intel can execute its technical road map. Q1 2026 adjusted EPS of USD 0.29 crushed the USD 0.02 analyst estimate, showing significant margin improve
Will AMD Be The Next Nvidia? ๐๐๐ AMD $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ hasn't just broken USD 300, it has skyrocketed to an all time high of USD 347.80, marking one of the most explosive rallies in semiconductor history! Will AMD Be The Next Nvidia? While the "next Nvidia" tag is often used, the reality in 2026 is that AMD is carving out its own unique path as the primary structural alternative to Nvidia's dominance. Closing the Gap: AMD's Data Center revenue reached a record USD 16.6 billion in 2025. While $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ data center revenue is still over 11 times larger, AMD is gaining ground rapidly with its Instinct MI Ser
The Art of the Short Squeeze ๐๐๐ In April 2026, a perfect storm of low liquidity, high short interest and concentrated retail and institutional buying, has reignited the meme stock frenzy. To understand why $Navitas Semiconductor Corp(NVTS)$ $Avis Budget(CAR)$ and $Beyond Meat, Inc.(BYND)$ are moving this way, you have to first understand the mechanics of the Short Squeeze. What is a Short Squeeze? A short squeeze is a high stakes feedback loop where the very act of betting against a stock actually drives its price higher. The Set Up: Short sellers "borrow" shares they do not own and sell them, hopi
AMD above $300 is a psychological and technical breakout, but risk/reward does look tighter here. Advanced Micro Devices has strong tailwinds, namely improving MI-series adoption, broader ecosystem partnerships, and a market willing to price in a credible No. 2 AI accelerator player behind NVIDIA. That said, much optimism is now embedded in valuation. To move materially higher, AMD likely needs clear proof of accelerating AI revenue, stronger margins, and sustained share gains versus rivals. Any execution slip could trigger a sharp pullback after such a strong run. Meanwhile, names like Micron Technology may still offer cleaner upside if memory pricing and HBM demand remain strong, while select AI infrastructure/software plays could provide better asymmetry. My view: โข Long-term bullish, t
