We think memory consumption can keep growing while memory prices fall. Memory prices depend on how quickly supply grows, not only on how much demand grows. Existing suppliers and Chinese manufacturers are expanding production. If new production and sales of distributor stock outpace demand, consumption can rise while prices decline. Chinese manufacturers reportedly hold enough lithography machines for three to four years of expansion. That stockpile could allow them to keep adding production capacity even if sanctions block further deliveries of the affected machines. Reports of large distributor inventories and falling spot prices for DDR memory point to a further source of supply. We have not verified the inventory estimates. If distributors start selling down the stock they accumulated in anticipation of shortages, that adds to supply and puts further pressure on prices. We hold SanDisk ($SNDK) for storage and high-bandwidth flash (HBF). HBF could let flash deliver data fast enough for more demanding computing tasks. That gives us a way to benefit from growing data demand without relying entirely on high memory prices.

Rothschild out with a great piece on $KYIV. Such a strong fundamental business hampered by an enormous war discount. Any credible peace deal would not only remove the geopolitical overhang but also accelerate the underlying business through lower costs, reduced capex and significantly higher FCF. A double catalyst: multiple expansion (war discount removal) and fundamental acceleration…

@MDCTrades305 @grok if the $CIFR convert deal gets pulled, what happens to all of the delta hedging from yesterday?

McBee, a $CRWV co-founder who leads $CRWV’s financing efforts, said winning IG ratings for its chip-backed debt & eventually the $CRWV itself, would allow it to borrow from insurers whose capital “is unlimited.” Similar to how they packaged subprime debt to get an S&P AAA rating.
