The semiconductor industry is at the heart of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Without advanced chips and networking components for data centers, developers wouldn't have enough computing capacity to build and deploy AI models. Nvidia , Advanced Micro Devices , and Micron Technology are just a few key suppliers of that hardware. However, many lesser-known companies operate behind the scenes to supply machines and equipment that make the manufacturing process more efficient. Cohu (NASDAQ: COHU) is one of them -- its testing and handling systems play a central role in the quality control process, ensuring chips are free of defects before they ship to customers. Cohu stock has exploded higher by 160% over the last 12 months on soaring demand for its equipment. But all of the analysts tracked by The Wall Street Journal think it's still a buy, and their consensus price target suggests more upside is ahead. Is this the ultimate under-the-radar AI opportunity for investors? Continue reading

The global $1 trillion market-cap club is expanding rapidly as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom continues to drive investor enthusiasm for semiconductor and technology companies.Recent rallies in chip stocks have pushed companies such as SK Hynix Samsung Electronics and Micron Technology past the trillion-dollar mark, joining an elite group dominated by US tech giants.At the same time, AI-driven gains are also reshaping global stock markets , helping Taiwan overtake India in overall market value.SK Hynix: South Korean memory chipmaker SK Hynix crossed the $1 trillion valuation mark for the first time on Wednesday, after its shares surged nearly 15% in a single session.The rally lifted the company’s market value to around 1,680 trillion won ($1.12 trillion) and helped push South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI index to a record high. Investors have increasingly backed SK Hynix because of its strong position in high-bandwidth memory chips used in AI systems.Samsung Electronics: Samsung Electronics entered the trillion-dollar club on May 6, as demand for AI chips boosted semiconductor stocks globally.At the time, the company, which is the world’s largest memory chip maker, was only the second Asian company after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to cross the milestone.The Korean company’s shares more than quadrupled over the past year and jumped by nearly 11–12% that day to cross the milestone. Samsung’s market capitalisation now stands at around $1.04 trillion.Micron Technology: US-based Micron Technology crossed the $1 trillion mark for the first time on Tuesday.The rally in the stock accelerated after UBS sharply raised its price target on it. Investors see Micron as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI-driven demand for memory chips and data-centre infrastructure. The company’s market value is now just over $1 trillion.Nvidia remains the world’s most valuable company, with a market capitalisation above $5 trillion. The chip giant first crossed the trill...

Images By Tang Ming Tung/DigitalVision via Getty Images When I started covering Flowers Foods ( FLO ) back in March 2023 , I liked the firm from a growth perspective, but the valuation appeared unattractive, and I issued a hold rating. Earlier this year, in April, I upgraded the stock to buy due to the attractive dividends and the much more reasonable valuation than before. Since then, however, the firm has cut its dividends significantly, and they also released their latest quarterly earnings results , so I believe it is necessary to review my previously established buy rating and assess whether it is still valid or not. My writing will revolve around the firm's sales and profitability figures, as well as the valuation based on the lower dividends. Q1 Results In April, I already wrote that I found FLO's fundamentals somewhat shaky. My opinion did not change based on the latest quarterly results. Although the firm achieved a net sales growth of 1.1%, it was mainly driven by the acquisition of Simple Mills and price/mix, partially offset by the volume. One of the key reasons for the decline was the market share contraction and change of consumer preferences in the packaged bread category (see: 10-Q ). In general, I like to invest in firms that have a stable/increasing demand for their products and a relatively inelastic demand. This does not seem to be the case for FLO, as with price increases, demand seems to deteriorate. I also find it alarming that the margins contracted meaningfully, and as a result, net income fell by more than 20% year-over-year. Q1 highlights (Flowers Foods) Looking forward, I am also not too optimistic about FLO returning to significant growth. Net sales for fiscal 2026 are expected to be in the range of $5.163 billion to $5.267 billion, roughly in line or slightly below the fiscal 2025 revenue of $5.27 billion. Outlook (Flowers Foods) When looking at the EPS, the firm also expects a deterioration going forward, and they provided the key fact...

In this article 2330-TW 2454-TW 2308-TW NVDA AAPL MU Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced plans for a new campus in Taiwan during an employee meeting on May 27, 2026. Nvidia Nvidia is expanding heavily in Taiwan with a new campus and a tenfold increase in annual spending, CEO Jensen Huang announced Wednesday, as the chipmaker plans for artificial intelligence-powered growth. Taiwan's Taiex stock index climbed 1.7% to a record close on Wednesday. Also helping gains was news that South Korea's SK Hynix and U.S.-based Micron became the latest chip-related companies to reach $1 trillion in market value. "Now we're spending $100 [billion], going to $150 billion in Taiwan each year," Huang said in Taipei, noting that's up from $10 billion to $15 billion annually just four or five years ago. By the end of the year, Nvidia will begin building a new office complex called Constellation, which can accommodate 4,000 employees in northern Taipei when it opens in 2030, he said. That would be four times the company's existing headcount in Taiwan. Shares of Taiwan chip manufacturing giant TSMC closed 1.3% higher on Wednesday, while MediaTek gained 8.8% and Delta Electronics rose by 7.2%. The three stocks — all semiconductor industry giants — are the largest companies by market capitalization on the Taiex index. Nvidia designs chips while TSMC manufactures them. Nvidia is expected to surpass Apple this year as TSMC's largest customer . A $150 billion annual outlay in Taiwan would be among Nvidia's largest spending plans to date, and exceed what the company made in revenue in a single quarter. The company reported a record $81.6 billion in revenue in the quarter ended April 26, and predicts $91 billion in revenue for the current quarter. The company has announced plans to invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the U.S. with local manufacturers over four years — which averages out to $125 billion annually in U.S. value creation.

FREDERICA ABAN/iStock via Getty Images Quarterly Snapshot Performance The Fund declined 4.87% compared to a 4.18% decline for the Russell 1000 Index and a 2.15% decline for the 60/40 Blended Benchmark. Key Drivers On the long side, stock selection in industrials and consumer staples was the most notable detractors from relative performance. Stock selection in consumer discretionary, our underweight to information technology and our overweight to energy were the most notable contributors. Our short positions in industrials and consumer discretionary detracted the most from relative performance, while our information technology shorts contributed the most. Summary We believe above-average equity market valuations are likely to lead to long-term returns below historical averages, but we remain focused on finding individual businesses that are mispriced. If we are in a lower return equity market, alpha generation in each of the long and short books is even more important to achieving satisfactory returns over time. Market and portfolio review Equity market volatility picked up in Q1 due in large part to the ongoing war in Iran. After starting the year modestly positive through February, the Russell 1000 Index ended Q1 down 4.2%. Unsurprisingly, energy (+38%) was by far the best-performing sector, with oil prices rising sharply as global supplies were impacted by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Materials (+10%) and utilities (+8%) also saw strong outperformance in Q1, while financials (-10%), consumer discretionary (-9%) and information technology (-9%) were the worst-performing sectors. The portfolio modestly trailed the long-only benchmark in Q1. Our long positions trailed the Russell 1000 Index by 200 basis points (bps), and our short positions were just over 200 bps ahead, leading to an unfavorable long-short spread (the performance of our long positions relative to the performance of our short positions) of 420 bps. Our long positions in software businesses, in...

Pla2na/iStock via Getty Images By Michiel Tukker , Senior UK & Eurozone Rates Strategist Euro rates well-behaved despite large swings Euro rates continue to swing up and down as oil prices react to Middle East headlines, but overall, the moves are well-behaved. Brent oil is oscillating around $100 per barrel, keeping the 10Y euro swap rate close to 3.0%. The front end of the curve is also following the usual script tightly, with every $10 move higher in oil amounting to around 20bp of additional European Central Bank tightening being priced, and vice versa. Whilst we think growth concerns should start playing a more important role in driving rates, markets don’t seem worried so far, given global equities are still testing record highs. Falling implied volatilities also suggest euro rate markets are quite content to stick around current rate levels. The three-month ahead implied volatility for the 10Y swap has come down further and is close to its lows from last month. The lower volatility measures suggest markets are not expecting a radical change from the current environment. And we tend to agree. Even if a deal is struck, oil prices are unlikely to come down by a significant amount. Also, a significant re-escalation does not seem a likely path going forward. Wednesday’s events and market views A relatively light day in terms of data. From the US, we have weekly mortgage application data and the Richmond Fed manufacturing indices for May. Consensus pencils in a slight improvement from 3 to 4 for the headline index. In terms of supply, Spain will proceed with a syndication of a new 10y SPGB with an estimated size of €13bn. The UK will auction £4bn of 7y gilts, while Germany will auction a combined €2bn across 15y and 30y Bunds. In the US, issuance includes a $28bn 2y FRN and a $70bn new 5y note.

The images we create and what actually happens are always beautiful when we have imagination./iStock Editorial via Getty Images Thesis I rate Coinbase Global, Inc. ( COIN ) a Hold. In the most recent quarter, the company reported revenue of $1.41 billion versus consensus expectations of $1.52 billion, while adjusted EPS came in at -$1.49 compared with expectations for a modest profit. Transaction revenue totaled $755.8 million, and subscription and services revenue came in at $583.5 million, underscoring that Coinbase’s earnings remain heavily tied to volatile trading activity rather than a fully diversified revenue base. Despite its strong strategic position as the leading regulated U.S. crypto exchange, the company’s earnings profile is still too cyclical and its valuation too demanding to justify an aggressive buy at current levels. My decision boils down to three reasons: (i) the core of the business is still driven heavily by trading volumes; (ii) the nearer-term reset of execution by the new CEO could be beneficial in the long run, but it also adds elements of execution risk; and (iii) the platform diversification thesis is valid, but currently lacks the depth required to both outweigh the influence from underlying bitcoin market movements and induce a new long entry. For currently invested investors, patience may be the best approach. YCharts Company Overview Coinbase runs the most significant regulated crypto exchange in the US and offers its services to retail and institutional customers. The platform encompasses spot trading, derivatives, staking, custody, and an ever-growing catalog of stablecoin-related services. Coinbase's revenue streams extend beyond exchange activity thanks to provisions of subscription and infrastructure products, which mitigate but do not entirely eliminate reliance on transactional activity. CEO Brian Armstrong has characterized this as trying to develop an “everything exchange,” a logical long-term goal, though the business remai...
