nmlfd/iStock via Getty Images Memory chip maker SK Hynix ( HXSCL ) stock price jumped about 15% on the South Korean stock exchange on Wednesday after rival Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ) projected record‑breaking Q1 profit, reinforcing expectations of an AI-led upcycle in memory chips. Investor sentiment toward the entire memory sector strengthened as Samsung’s outlook signaled tight supply and rising prices for DRAM and NAND chips, key components in AI data centers. Korea Investment & Securities raised its FY operating profit estimate for SK Hynix by 28%, citing stronger-than-expected pricing trends, with projections now more than quadruple 2025 levels. SK Hynix ( HXSCL ), the world’s second-largest memory chipmaker, is scheduled to report its Q1 results later this month, with markets now expecting similarly strong performance.

Krot Studio/iStock via Getty Images Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) disclosed on Monday that their run-rate revenue has surpassed $30 billion (I appreciate that unlike most people in tech, they didn’t call it ARR). To contextualize how mind-boggling the growth is, Anthropic ended 2025 with an annual run rate of just $9 billion, which then shot to $19 billion by February. Basically, Anthropic seems to be addi...
Krot Studio/iStock via Getty Images Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) disclosed on Monday that their run-rate revenue has surpassed $30 billion (I appreciate that unlike most people in tech, they didn’t call it ARR). To contextualize how mind-boggling the growth is, Anthropic ended 2025 with an annual run rate of just $9 billion, which then shot to $19 billion by February. Basically, Anthropic seems to be adding its entire 2025 run-rate revenue every month now! The meteoric growth starts to make some sense when you see how some of its customers are behaving. The Information reported on Monday that Meta ( META ) (likely one of Anthropic’s major customers) is literally running an internal “competition” among its employees to see who can spend the highest number of tokens. Meta employees apparently used 60 trillion tokens in just the last 30 days. To understand the scale of such token consumption, The Information helpfully mentioned that all the books that were ever published are only estimated to be worth ~20 trillion tokens! You can probably see now how Anthropic is growing their revenue so fast when their end customers are essentially “bragging” about using as many tokens as possible. Given how fast Anthropic is growing their revenue and how willing its customers seem to be to spend more tokens, does it mean Anthropic is also making gross profit hand over fist in inference? That may sound like a rhetorical question, but it is actually surprisingly a more difficult question to answer. I have mentioned AI’s speculative economics before, but I have a newfound appreciation for the uncertainty in AI economics after reading Anjali Shrivastava’s couple of pieces on this topic. Anjali once left a couple of thoughtful replies to my tweets which made me follow her on X. I then came across her article “A token is not a fixed unit of cost”. Unfortunately, I am one of those guys who always have at least 50 tabs open on his PC, and Anjali’s piece ended up in that graveyard. Thankfully, one of...

Hopes for a strong rebound in China’s demand for liquefied natural gas are fading, despite the ceasefire called in the Middle East, as analysts caution over lingering supply risks and higher prices. Chinese LNG imports plunged 11% last year to 68.4 million tons, a rare decline in nearly two decades of almost uninterrupted growth. BloombergNEF expects another drop in 2026 to 62.3 million tons. Rystad Energy predicts a slight rise to 70 million tons. Even before the US and Israeli strikes on Iran shattered the supply chain from the Persian Gulf, Chinese demand for gas was falling as the economy slowed. Apparent consumption declined 0.9% in the first two months of the year, according to government figures, extending the weak run that had persisted through 2025. BNEF’s forecast, which is unchanged from before the ceasefire, assumes shipments will resume from Qatar through the Strait of Hormuz from late April. Rystad’s forecast is also unchanged and assumes a resumption from the middle of the month. But reopening the key waterway won’t make up for the long-term damage caused by Iranian strikes on Qatari facilities. And it won’t quell fears that the strait can be weaponized at any time as a chokepoint for global oil and gas supplies. China, the world’s largest gas importer, took roughly a quarter of its LNG from Qatar, which is now facing a yearslong effort to restore operations. Most pertinently, the destruction of two Qatari LNG trains at the world’s biggest export facility could remove 12.5 million tons of annual capacity over the next three to five years, according to BNEF. Qatar’s Heft Faced with such a shortfall, China is all but certain to limit its exposure to the Persian Gulf. Given Qatar’s heft in the market, that could also mean cutting back on LNG, and leaning more heavily on domestic output and overland gas pipelines from Russia and Central Asia. Substitutes such as coal and renewables, which China has in abundance, are also likely to be favored. China has al...
