SK Hynix Gains 4.7% — Did JPMorgan Just Add Memory to Its Beneficiary List?

Memory bounced Tuesday — SK Hynix +4.70%, SanDisk +2.68%, Micron +0.87%, SOXL +2.31% — taking back part of the post-earnings slide. The trigger was sell-side positioning: JPMorgan said Nvidia's cycle strength is broadening past logic into the memory chain, naming six beneficiaries. Unresolved: how long new Chinese capacity and long-term contract pricing can hold. Upstream keeps confirming while the prices keep swinging — what is the market still waiting on?

The AI Bill Isn’t Fully Visible: Big Tech Has $3 Trillion in Off-Balance-Sheet Commitments

Investors closely track Big Tech’s quarterly capital expenditures, but reported CapEx only captures part of the AI buildout. Nine major technology companies reportedly have about $3 trillion in future lease, chip-purchase and infrastructure commitments that are not yet fully reflected on their balance sheets. 1. Where Did the $3 Trillion Come From? According to a Wall Street Journal analysis of financial-statement footnotes, nine major technology companies reported roughly $600 billion in combined CapEx over their latest 12-month periods. However, their broader future commitments approach $3 trillion, including approximately: $1.2 trillion in data-center leases that have not yet commenced; $1.9 trillion in long-term purchase agreements covering chips, memory, power and other infrastructure
The AI Bill Isn’t Fully Visible: Big Tech Has $3 Trillion in Off-Balance-Sheet Commitments
JPMorgan's memory call isn't a rotation story — it's a "the correction was wrong" story The framing matters here. This wasn't JPMorgan discovering memory as some new Nvidia-adjacent trade — it's JPMorgan's Jay Kwon calling the recent 25% memory correction a mistake, made on Monday, two trading days before Tuesday's bounce. His thesis has two legs: supply-demand shortage persists for two more years, and — the more interesting part — memory demand is broadening from GPU to CPU in a way he thinks the market has underpriced. That's a different claim than "AI cycle strength is spilling over." It's "the market already knew this conceptually but hasn't modeled the actual volume impact." That's why Tuesday's move (SK Hynix +4.7%, SanDisk +2.68%, Micron +0.87%, SOXL +2.31%) reads as a reset of Q3 e

SNDK Surges 14%, AMAT Falls Despite Beating Estimates: At Record Highs, the Market Only Rewards Posi

A mild PPI report pushed the S&P 500 to another record close, but the real story overnight was the widening gap within tech. SNDK surged 13.7% after unveiling its long-term growth targets through 2030, lifting WDC and MU with it. Meanwhile, COHR, Cisco and AMAT all delivered solid results—but their stocks were not rewarded. Investors still want AI exposure, but they are no longer paying higher prices for growth that is already widely expected. S&P 500 Hits Another Record as PPI Eases Rate-Hike Fears All three major U.S. indices closed higher overnight: The immediate catalyst was the July U.S. Producer Price Index. Headline PPI was unchanged from the previous month, easing concerns about another inflation rebound. Goods prices declined 0.7%, including a 3.1% drop in energy prices, o

SK hynix remains one of my top AI semiconductor picks, supported by strong HBM demand, leading HBM technology, and continued growth in AI data-center investment. I expect earnings growth to remain strong, although short-term volatility is likely due to high market expectations and memory-cycle risks.
【Voting Post】2027 Memory Outlook: HBM/DRAM Remain Tight, While NAND Supply Eases The memory market may begin to diverge in 2027. TrendForce expects NAND Flash to remain undersupplied throughout 2026, with an estimated supply deficit of 4–5%. However, as new capacity and more advanced NAND production ramp up, supply could begin exceeding demand in the second half of 2027—particularly if smartphone and notebook demand remains weak. This does not mean NAND demand is collapsing. AI data centres continue to drive strong demand for enterprise SSDs and high-capacity storage. The concern is that supply may eventually grow faster than demand, reducing NAND manufacturers’ pricing power. Investment implications: • SK Hynix $SK hynix(SKHY)$  remains best positio

One US$500 Billion Deal: The Fee Collectors Rose, the Payers Fell

Hello. In the last piece Nvidia was out raising up to US$500 billion for AI infrastructure and the market had started asking where the money would come from. Last night we got half an answer: the money is there, but the people putting it up and the people spending it went in opposite directions. The providers all rose: KKR up 6.88 per cent, Apollo 6.26 per cent, Brookfield 4.77 per cent, Blackstone 3.89 per cent and BlackRock 1.54 per cent. The spenders fell for a second day: Alphabet down 3.61 per cent, its fourth decline in five sessions; $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ down 2.09 per cent, $Broadcom(AVGO)$ 1.5 per cent, $Apple(AAP

The $104 Billion Backlog Is Still There: CRWV Jumps 14%, SMCI Gains 7% After Hours

AI hardware stocks have suffered a sharp valuation reset, but the latest earnings show that underlying infrastructure demand remains strong. CoreWeave’s revenue backlog reached $104.2 billion, while Super Micro guided for up to $72 billion in annual revenue. The key bottlenecks are increasingly power, cooling, networking and financing—not a lack of AI orders AI Infrastructure Rebounds After Hours U.S. stocks ended the latest session lower as investors remained cautious ahead of the July CPI report: S&P 500: −0.32% Nasdaq Composite: −0.60% Dow Jones: −0.34% However, several AI infrastructure names rebounded after the close: $CoreWeave(CRWV)$: up more than 14% after hours $Super Micro Computer(SMCI)$: u

I was too fearful to touch SK hynix, or other mem stocks at elevated prices for that matter.  I did however get in and out long MU, for a small gain. not trying to rub salt into your wounds, just making the point that if you are long now, be careful as we get closer to October and chance of rate increase becomes higher.

The correct attitude against $SK海力士(SKHY)$  [傲娇]   The problem with the South Korean government is not that it allows such products, but rather that it is a dilemma. The South Korean market originally had no leveraged products. Seeing that Hong Kong Korean stocks attracted a lot of money, the government believed that the fat should not go to other people's land, so it allowed the local market to launch in the name of "protecting investors". Individual investors are investing wildly, and the government is struggling to get out. When the stock price of Hynix quickly returned to high levels, the government said it needed to regulate and restrict, so the market panicked and retail investors stepped on people.

I don't own $SK hynix(SKHY)$ or $CSOP SK Hynix Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07709)$ directly, but I've been increasing my exposure to the memory-chip sector through Micron and leveraged semiconductor ETFs during this pullback. I believe the selloff reflects overly high expectations rather than weakening fundamentals. AI-driven HBM demand remains a strong long-term growth driver. I prefer buying quality companies during periods of fear instead of chasing momentum. I've been adding to Micron and SOXL on weakness because I expect AI infrastructure spending and memory demand to keep expanding. Volatility creates opportunities for patient investors. The leverage change to 07709 makes sense from a risk-manag
