TradingKey - Relying on strong AI demand, more memory per system, and sluggish supply response, 2026 will be the memory cycle. Micron Technology (MU) is now in an excellent competitive position today with HBM3E and looking to ramp HBM4E into Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platforms in the second half of 2026. Demand is strong, with 2026 HBM capacity reportedly fully booked, and short-term earnings are expected to show sharp growth in revenue and profit. Despite a strong run in MU stock, valuation on forward estimates is still under the broad market averages. What is Micron? Micron Technology is a memory maker. It makes DRAM and NAND flash memory, as well as High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for use in smartphones, PCs, data center servers, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerators. Unlike chip makers such as Nvidia (NVDA), who determine the pricing of their end products and have them manufactured, Micron sells more commoditized components whose prices are less predictable. The pricing power in memory is governed by the supply and demand balance, not branding, and hence is a cyclical industry. In this build-out for AI, memory has become a bottleneck, and that push has placed Micron squarely in the middle of demand for HBM and data center DRAM. How MU Stock Performed in 2025 During this time, Nvidia stock was increasing slowly and MU stock was increasing by 239.1%. Multiple sources have shown that MU stock has increased over the last 6 months by 250%. Compared with previous years, this development cycle was the shift towards profits in memory stocks as the turn of the memory downturn into the memory upturn was mainly led by AI. This adjustment was more due to the change in quantity and price of the amount of memory used in the data center and HBM than to marketing reasons. What Happened to Memory in H2 2025? The second half of 2025 was a gut punch. AI server builds soak up most HBM, DRAM, and NAND. Contract prices increased in value and lead times lengthened for several quarters. ...

Premier League clubs voted for the new financial rules in November, during an unprecedented campaign in Europe. A record nine teams qualified for this season - six of them in the Champions League.

Premier League clubs voted for the new financial rules in November, during an unprecedented campaign in Europe. A record nine teams qualified for this season - six of them in the Champions League. All nine have made it through to last 16 in their respective competitions, with the round beginning this week. No other league comes close. Spain has six teams active, Germany is on five, with France and Italy on four. When Premier League clubs not in Europe get the additional spending power, Uefa thinks it could increase their ability to attract players. That could result in the weakening of other European teams, and it has the potential to make English football even stronger. Andrea Traveso, Uefa's director of financial sustainability and research, outlined some of the concerns at the Financial Times Business of Football Summit last month. "The Premier League alone now generates a quarter of all European club revenues," he said. "With more spending power on top, this will create tensions in the market. "The objective at Uefa is financial sustainability. The objective at the Premier League is competitiveness." Traveso highlighted how "40% of the top-value players in the world" are at English clubs. "But many are sitting on the bench or, even worse, in the stands," he said. "This is an extraordinary and worrying concentration of talent." Traverso said an "inconsistent application of financial regulations" could make matters worse.

一如预期,苹果在本周推出了一系列的新品,但最受关注的不是 iPhone 17e,也不是新款的 MacBook Pro 和 Air,而是一台传了很久又有些「反常」的新电脑: MacBook Neo。 尽管更多人在意的还是它的定价和外观,但实际上,这台电脑更值得关注的,还有里面那颗芯片。MacBook Neo 用的不是 Mac 常见的 M 系列,而是一颗来自 iPhone 16 Pro 的芯片——A18 Pro。 也就是说,这是一台直接用手机 SoC 驱动的 Mac。 MacBook Neo,图片来源:苹果 如果只是孤立地看,这似乎只是苹果产品线的一次小调整:用更便宜、更省电的芯片做一台入门级 Mac。但把视线稍微拉远一点,就会发现事情没那么简单。 就在 MacBook Neo 发布后,知名爆料博主@数码闲聊站透露,华为开发的 MateBook Neo 也正在路上,并且暗示其可能采用华为 Mate 80 同款的麒麟 9030 系列手机 SoC。 另一方面,去年在骁龙峰会首日上的压轴环节,谷歌就宣布正在推进 Android for PC 项目,高通 CEO 安蒙也见过了「安卓 PC」,按计划也将于今年推出。从目前来看,谷歌的安卓 PC 大概也会采用高通的旗舰手机 SoC,而不是自家 Tensor 芯片或者骁龙 X PC 芯片。 2025 骁龙峰会,图片来源:雷科技 PC,似乎也在迈入手机 SoC 驱动的时代。 更有意思的是,推动这件事的几家公司恰好有一个共同点:它们既做芯片,也做操作系统,还做终端设备。苹果如此,华为如此,谷歌某种程度上也是如此。 PC 开始用上手机芯片,为什么? MacBook Neo 的出现,直观来看确实是一种「降级」。 先不说很多核心、周边配置的「降级」,在很多人的直觉里,用手机芯片做电脑,似乎意味着性能更弱、定位更低。尤其是在 PC 这个长期由 Intel 和 AMD 主导的市场,手机 SoC 一直被认为只是移动设备的解决方案。 但如果仔细看过去十年的技术演进,会发现情况恰恰相反:手机 SoC 的能力,已经成长到了可以承担 PC 的角色。 这还是比较保守的说法。 手机 SoC 的性能提升几乎是整个半导体行业里最激进的一条技术曲线。以苹果为例,从 A 系列早期的性能接近低功耗 PC 处理器,到 iPhone 17 上的 A19,CPU 单核性能甚至登...

sergeysan1/iStock via Getty Images Archer Aviation ( ACHR ) on Monday filed a countersuit accusing rival Joby Aviation ( JOBY ) of defrauding the U.S. government and concealing ties to China to gain a competitive advantage. In the filing in U.S. federal court, Archer alleged that Joby and its agents “fraudulently misclassified thousands of pounds of Chinese-origin aircraft materials as consumer goods” in an apparent attempt to avoid U.S. tariffs and foreign-influence scrutiny. The countersuit comes after Joby ( JOBY ) sued Archer ( ACHR ) in California state court in November, accusing the company of stealing trade secrets by hiring a former Joby employee who allegedly took confidential information about its business strategies, partnerships, and aircraft specifications. The case was moved to U.S. district court in December. Joby ( JOBY ) attorney Alex Spiro dismissed the claims, saying the company “doesn’t respond to nonsense.” “Archer’s constant legal issues and flailing business operations have left it no choice but to resort to invented nonsensical theories,” he said in a statement. “We will see them in court.” Archer ( ACHR ) also alleged that Joby received grants and financial support from the Chinese government, creating what it described as a “profound, undisclosed foreign dependency,” and accused the company of portraying itself as an American firm while failing to disclose ties to Beijing. The countersuit was filed the same day the U.S. Department of Transportation announced eight grant programs aimed at accelerating the development of air taxis and drones. Three of the programs list both Joby ( JOBY ) and Archer ( ACHR ) as participants.
