Busy couple of weeks on results front

I also find the Tesla package discussion utterly bizarre.
Musk is something of a toxic character this year.
Maybe he always was, it just came more to the fore with his 'chainsaw for bureaucracy' stunt and DOGE work....I believe I ought to be part of the target demographic for buying a Tesla, but there isn't a barge pole long enough to make me look

Hi A,
It's been a solid week on top of a very strong month(1/9-19/9).
Cobens Tech +12.7% MTD(month), Cobens Lifestyle +7.84%Micron earnings, Tuesday. They will be excellent with a record guide, no doubt about it. The company has recently suspended all contract pricing quotes, what this means is they don't want to lock in further production on long term fixed price deals-they could but prefer to ride the spot market, which is moving up(price) materially (why-Extreme demand). This simply means much much better margins and prices. This of course excludes the significant supply contracts they have locked in with Nvidia and AMD.
To earnings 'What the reaction is', who knows. Micron is growing its revenue at > 40% currently, how long that lasts is up for debate but I think they have blue sky until at least 2030. It's real PE is about 10 or less! There are many listed stocks with multiples in the 60-100+ range which do not have growth rates this high. The market is still valuing Micron on a historical cyclical/commodity basis, however, clearly the move up from the 120s to 160 range is a big vote of confidence. I think the business re HBM is more secular and we will see a material re-rating in Micron multiples over the next several quarters.
The CEO Sanjay Mehrotra is a gifted engineer (Stanford/Berkeley). I have followed him for a very long time, having studied his fine work at Sandisk back in the early 2000s. Sandisk was a brilliant business and pioneer in Solid State memory and he personally holds many patents. He is not just a suit, he's an inventor and innovator. Micron is a case of, investing in the man, not just the business.

CoWos packaging-discussed here in detail. It is the most critical process in the production of silicon for Data Centres. Having salable GPUs is inextricably linked to Cowos capacity. Without capacity you aren't shipping
The latest figures are based on industry bookings.

This imo will pave the way for wider agreement on many resources including high end silicon (GPUs). If the deal gets done and I think it will, China get chips. I think Trump wants the win and Nvidia wants to be able to service all comers-not that China is particularly relevant today! They likely will be in the future. Today Nvidia can't meet demand so excluding certain markets makes no difference(today). In the future, the demand/supply imbalance will converge, and if relations are not restored 'soon', there may not be a future in China, because China will pave its own way and their build out/roadmap will take another course. Feeding their lead to Huawei for even 1-2 years could very well see future market share(China) lost for good.

Given the news just put up about Microsoft and Nvidia, we could be on for one of the best weeks I can recall.

All eyes on tomorrow. Big earnings coming and Trump/Xi. Volatile either way!

Some hefty DB numbers today, particularly Lifestyle and Tech. It's been an exceptional couple of months and earnings are fantastic. After hours reactions are typical of names which run at such pace. New highs attract sellers. The businesses have never been stronger.

Much appreciated. In August, I withdrew enough for a holiday, and the funds are nearly back to their original value.
I tell the wife she should be thanking Jeff, Bill and Elon, but really she should be thanking you.

posted here because it covers multiple holdings:
OpenAI revealed on Monday that it’s teaming up with Amazon (AWS) in a deal worth $38 billion to secure “hundreds of thousands” of Nvidia GPUs to fuel its growing AI workloads.
Amazon’s shares jumped 5.4% in premarket trading, while Nvidia’s rose nearly 2.9%.
The seven-year agreement gives OpenAI access to AWS’s massive cloud infrastructure, including hundreds of thousands of Nvidia GPUs, with the option to scale up to “tens of millions” of GPUs as demand grows. AWS will also provide access to its powerful Amazon EC2 UltraServers to help handle OpenAI’s ever-expanding AI workloads.
“AWS has unmatched experience running large-scale AI infrastructure securely, reliably, and at massive scale — with clusters topping 500,000 chips,” OpenAI wrote in a blog post. “AWS’s leadership in cloud computing, paired with OpenAI’s breakthroughs in generative AI, will help millions of people keep getting value from ChatGPT.”
“Building frontier AI takes enormous, reliable computing power,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. “Our partnership with AWS strengthens the wider compute ecosystem that’s driving this next wave of innovation and bringing advanced AI to everyone.” -

Nope - It's in Equity (PHE)
