Elon Says Memory Is AI’s Biggest Bottleneck

Elon Musk recently said memory has become the biggest bottleneck for AI development, putting renewed attention on the memory sector. Against that backdrop, $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ ’s latest investor day offered an especially bullish outlook. SanDisk is targeting a 75% adjusted operating margin and 50% FCF margin by 2030. More importantly, the company is moving away from the traditional commodity cycle by locking in multi-year volume and pricing agreements. It has already signed deals with eight major customers, including three hyperscalers, representing roughly $94 billion in total contract value. The bigger picture is that memory demand is still growing, while valuations remain surprisingly low. Forward P/E ratios are around 6x for

$NBIS Surges 30%: AI Demand Is Getting Insane

$NEBIUS(NBIS)$ just released an EXCELLENT earnings report, sending the stock up 30%! Here are 5️⃣ most important things you need to know: 1. Capacity guidance increased from 4GW ➡️ 5GW. This is a 5x increase in guidance since August 2025! The increase comes from Nebius announcing new data centers in the UK, Estonia, and Finland. "We are raising, actually, the contracted power to 5 GW now, by the end of 2026... Our future capacity pipeline effectively makes Nebius one of just a few companies in the world able to build more than 1 GW of new capacity a year, and we plan to do so in 2027." Arkady Volozh, CEO, Q2 2026 Earnings Call Essentially, he confirmed that they plan to add over 1GW in new capacity in 2027 and will continue doing so in the future.

Nu Q2 2026: Profits, ARPU and Strong Customer Growth

Yesterday $Nu Holdings Ltd.(NU)$ reported earnings, and they were, as always, excellent! Most importantly, it seems the market is no longer selling off. It seems that the FOMO AI trade of selling quality and buying AI could be nearing the end. Nu’s stock is now up 13% in after-hours! The company continues to execute on all its objectives, yet the market is not rewarding it. Last quarter I said that this is because of the AI FOMO trade. Sell quality to buy AI stocks! As a result, Nu trades at just 16x FWD P/E. I find this valuation to be extremely attractive for long-term-minded investors, especially considering Nu posted such strong financial results: Total revenues $5.5B +50% Net income $1.06B +66.4% EPS $0.22+ 65.4%, Beating analyst estimate of

Nebius 2030 Valuation Model!

In this want I want to calculate $NEBIUS(NBIS)$ price at which the stock could be trading in 2030. After this quarter, I realised that I need to update my assumptions as the company gave more details about pricing and its new asset-light AI segments. I am not gonna make you wait too long: I see 530-690% upside to Nebius stock by 2030! This is who I get there: First, Nebius' 2026 contracted power target is 5GW, which means that Nebius expects to have agreements with utilities to supply them with 5GW of electricity on 31 December 2026. Yet, to bring all this capacity online as active IT power, Nebius will need years, as they have to construct the building and install all the electrical, GPUs, cooling, networking, and other equipment. Thus, I am mode

$NBIS Q2 AI Cloud Demand Is Accelerating

$NEBIUS(NBIS)$ just delivered a Q2 report that goes well beyond a simple earnings beat. Revenue reached $582.3M, ahead of the $575M estimate, while adjusted EBITDA came in at $236.2M, well above the $173M consensus. But the bigger story is what the numbers say about AI cloud demand, customer contracts and the economics of building capacity. 🔥 1. 5GW of Contracted Capacity $NBIS reiterated its 2026 ARR target of $7B–$9B, while raising its contracted capacity guidance to 5GW. At the same time, average contract value is climbing rapidly: Q1: $12M Q2: $20M Q3: $40M That's a dramatic increase in the size of customer contracts. And $NBIS made an eye-opening comment: “We could sell our entire 2027 capacity on these terms today.” In other words, the compa

$SOFI: Is There a Better Full-Service Fintech Growth Story Right Now?

Is there a better full-service fintech growth story in the market right now than $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ ? There are certainly plenty of reasons to debate the stock. Investors can argue about fair-value accounting, credit risk, potential dilution, or whether the Tech Platform has fully lived up to expectations. But focusing exclusively on those issues may miss the bigger story unfolding inside the company. Bull Case in one photo! Products per member: - 1.46 - 1.47 - 1.48 - 1.51 - 1.54 Notice how it's accelerated in the last few quarters. This is as in Q2 2026, 51% of new products were opened by existing customers.

AI Stocks: Wall Street’s Price Targets Reveal Where the Biggest Upside May Be

Wall Street remains broadly bullish on the AI trade, but the latest price targets show that analysts are not treating every AI stock equally. Across a group of major AI beneficiaries — from memory and semiconductors to AI infrastructure and space-based computing — the average analyst targets imply meaningful upside, with several names carrying expectations of 70% or more. The dispersion between low, average and high targets is equally important. It shows not only where Wall Street sees potential upside, but also where expectations — and therefore risk — are especially elevated. 🧠 Memory: Micron and SK Hynix Lead the Bull Case $Micron Technology(MU)$ stands out with one of the most aggressive analyst outlooks. Low target: $1,100 Average target: $1,60

Nebius Earnings Preview: Can the AI Cloud Giant Deliver Again?

$NEBIUS(NBIS)$ Reports Earnings on Wednesday! Here are 5️⃣ things to watch! 1. ARR Guidance Current guidance for 2026 is $7-9B. With half of the year behind us, the company should have more visibility. My guess is that they increase the guidance to $8-10B. 2. Capacity Guidance Current 2026 contracted capacity guidance is 4GW. Investors want to see this contracted capacity guidance come to fruition or increased. Any delays will hurt the stock. 3. Cash Position $NBIS ended last quarter with $9.3B in cash, including $3.2B in pre-payments received in Q1. Additional pre-payments would be welcome. 4.

Sofi Q2 2026: Incredible Cross-Sale vs Stubborn Market!

The reaction to $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ ’s earnings continues to be completely disconnected between what the reality is and what the market perceives it to be. · 43% Revenue Growth · 44% ADJ EBITDA Growth · 50% EPS Growth Yet the stock was down 9%! This is especially insane, considering the stock was already down 31% YTD and traded at a FWD P/E of 25 before the earnings. Find me another stock that is delivering such strong top and bottom-line growth at such a valuation, with such a strong TAM and incredible innovation in the last 3 years. So why would the market react in such a way to these earnings? There are a few issues behind this reaction. 1. Deceleration in the Loan Platform Business. 2. Higher effective tax rate. 3.

$HOOD $ALAB $DOCN - The Break-Even Trap Is Back

After this summer, feels like many traders are now holding stocks in the "i'm almost back to even" phase. So you've held through all of the volatility...and you're brain is screaming to "get out now and just breakeven!". It's always the same game: mentally fatigue you, shake you out, bore you to death, annoy you...then rip the stock again. This is happening right now to a few names I'm watching: 1) $Ondas Holdings Inc.(ONDS)$ (perf example) 2) $Penguin Solutions, Inc.(PENG)$ (up & comer) 3) $Astera Labs, Inc.(ALAB)$ (fmr leader) 4) $Robinhood(HOOD)$ (held well) 5) $DigitalOcean

$MRDN's Management Shake-Up Is a Positive, Not a Negative

William Scott, the interim CEO, will transition to Chief Financial Officer while remaining Chairman. Rich Christensen will step down as CFO. At first glance, management changes can create uncertainty. In this case, however, the moves appear to strengthen the company's execution as it enters its next phase of growth.

MRDN Q2 2026: Strong Profits and a New CEO!

$Meridian Hldg(MRDN)$ released a good Q2 earnings report last week, reporting GAAP net income of $2.2M, the second strong profit quarter in a row. Despite this, the stock tanked 22%. In my opinion, here are the factors driving this harsh reaction: 1. Slight revenue miss of $50M vs $51-53M guide. 2. Gross margin decline from 56.4% to 53.5%. 3. The change of the CFO. 4. H2 2026 guide of 8-10% revenue growth, barely in line with the analyst consensus estimate of 9.6%. In this report, I will explain why the market has vastly overreacted to these developments. If misinterpreted, these 4 developments might signal deteriorating business fundamentals. However, if we analyse each point carefully and individually, we see clear reasons that indicate that the

Celsius and Alani Nu took a page from the playbook of successful athleisure brands such as Lululemon, Gymshark, and Nike. Women are generally more concerned about their well-being than men.
