Bullish based on The AI gold rush analogy. During every gold rush, most miners fail, but the businesses selling picks and shovels often make fortunes. Today, AI applications are the miners. Some will dominate, some will disappear, but almost all of them need compute, networking and memory. Investors spent the last two years chasing GPUs because they were the obvious winner. The next bottleneck may be memory bandwidth, and bottlenecks usually create pricing power. What excites me most is that SK Hynix is not simply participating in AI growth; it is enabling it. The ADR listing may increase liquidity, institutional ownership and analyst coverage among U.S. investors who previously overlooked the company. My biggest concern is not competition but whether AI infrastructure spending eventually slows. Until that happens, I remain bullish. @AhGong
Samsung Just Set a Record — So Why Did Memory Stocks Sell Off?
Memory was among Thursday's hardest hit: SanDisk -4.90% to $1,609.46, Micron -4.79% to $1,035.84, SK Hynix -4.35% to $170.50 — despite Samsung's record quarter, operating profit near 107.4 trillion won (about $80 billion), its first above 100 trillion. Markets focused on deceleration: analysts read the record as also signaling slower momentum, with memory price gains narrowing. Bulls point to absolute earnings power; bears say cyclicals trade on the second derivative, so a record alongside deceleration gets priced as the latter. Record profit, slowing growth — is memory peaking?
