Following the $MRVL and $LITE acquisition announcement… Samsung Electronics has been doing vertical integration of their own in photonics to thermal: - New report from Bloomberg states that Samsung Electronics is in talks to buy $MOD Modine. Which supplies thermal/cooling infrastructure for AI data centers. - 2 days ago from Digitimes, Samsung has purchased series of silicon photonics patents from Rockley Photonics (that previously was bankrupt). Covering modulators and PICs, mainly around design and integration. This follows earlier leaks that “Samsung is reportedly considering acquisitions in the silicon photonics space” After Samsung’s reportedly pursues optical engine and PIC manufacturing by 2027, and CPO services by 2029. We’ll likely see this trend accelerate with M&A vertical integration across AI supply chains. Especially considering valuations from smaller upstream companies collapsed recently, despite their strategic significance.

Reflections on $NVDA's corporate governance after Jensen Huang's exit 1) It is strange that the CIA and the government ran the rumored China spy investigation without notifying Nvidia's board and Jensen first. The matter had been brewing for several quarters, and the news only broke after the mid-term election. 2) Jensen should have asked for a bigger stake in Nvidia, just as Elon Musk did at $TSLA. Elon set an outlandish long-term stock price target with a vesting schedule tied to it, and that gave him more control and more ownership. 3) Dual-class share structures, where the founder's shares carry extra votes, are rare among established semiconductor firms. This lack of founder voting control is a common issue across semiconductor companies. Jensen seems to have been too focused on technology and too little on politics and control. 4) Where Jensen goes next is the open question. We hope Nvidia gets him back in some way, or Elon hires him, or he finds another place to thrive. Age 63 is just the start for him. We hope he perseveres through this storm and thrives. The worst case is that he retires into a VC-like role, but we don't think he will settle for that at this stage. 5) In the best world, NVDA shareholders would vote to bring Jensen back and fire what we see as a woke board. We think that is unlikely. Share ownership is widely distributed and the investor base is very diversified. Many of those investors do not follow the company or its governance closely, so they are hard to mobilize. And the board was not constructed as thoughtfully as the one Elon built, after he suffered the same problem early in his PayPal years. 6) Those who said founder control, vision and ownership don't matter to the Nvidia business will feel they are right, and buying the dip will look great in the short term. We think they will be proven wrong over the longer term. 7) This is a great time for $AVGO, $AMD and $CBRS. But note that Broadcom and AMD have similar governance issues too.
