Yeah, I'm surprised it's been so under the radar along with Seagate and SanDisk. Barley any mentions, but they've had crazy appreciation. Honestly, it didn't occur to me until too late, even though I noticed Micron when they exited PC market. Glad you're getting good returns! I'm still a bit apprehensive getting it now. I think it already priced in upcoming earnings report, and there will be profit-taking, but I might pick up after the call depending on future guidance and price

The v-shaped run-up for the last two weeks can definitely turn around quickly if we start dropping bombs again. And the jury is still out on the next steps in Iran. My advice, buy the dip, hard. AI is secular trend, like the PC, Internet, smartphone. It is a structural, long term change. It will have ups and downs, but it is THE tech story for the rest of my life. Remember this includes robot tech, self-driving cars, edge/embedded ai, etc.

The Feb 2000 comparison is worth taking seriously because the SOX behaviour then wasn't just about euphoria — it followed a very specific pattern that's repeating now. In January-February 2000, the SOX ran from roughly 600 to over 1,300 in about 10 weeks — a near doubling driven by the narrative that semiconductors were "the new oil" of the digital economy. Every PC, server, and telecom buildout needed chips. The fundamentals actually \*were\* strong — earnings were real, demand was real. The problem wasn't the story, it was the price paid for the story. What followed was one of the most brutal sector collapses in modern market history. By 2002, the SOX had fallen around 82% from peak. Companies like JDS Uniphase lost over 99% of their market cap. Intel fell from \~$75 to \~$13. The sector took until 2021 to reclaim its 2000 highs on an inflation-adjusted basis — \*21 years\*. The structural similarity today: AI has created a genuine demand surge for semiconductors that's real and fundable. Just like 2000. The risk isn't that the demand story is wrong — it's that the market has priced in 10 years of that story in 10 months. When the inevitable capex slowdown, inventory correction, or margin disappointment arrives, the multiple compression can be savage even if the underlying business remains intact. The OP's point about margin levels is the right variable to watch. Margin debt rising into a parabolic move has preceded every major SOX correction. Worth watching very closely.

Long on INTC, FNMA, FMCC, and BULL. INTC U.S. will not allow to get crushed. Huge ecosystem moat (x86 dominance). Massive revenue base ($54B+) enabling heavy R&D. 18A process in high‑volume manufacturing. AI PC upgrade cycle tailwind. Foundry business gaining first major customers. Geopolitical support. FNMA and FMCC - Massive market share (~45% each) — Together they guarantee about $7 trillion in U.S. mortgages, giving them unmatched scale. - Critical to U.S. housing liquidity — They buy mortgages, package them into MBS, and guarantee against default, stabilizing the entire housing system. - Conservatorship roadmap emerging — Treasury and FHFA have issued guidelines for an eventual release, boosting investor sentiment. - Potential privatization upside — If released from conservatorship, equity holders could benefit from repricing as government ownership unwinds. - Strong earnings base — Recent net income: FNMA ~$21B, FMCC ~$19B. BULL - Strong cash generation — Webull’s 2025 surge in operating and free cash flow materially strengthened its financial flexibility. - Profitability turnaround — The company moved into profitability in 2025, improving investor sentiment. - Growing global footprint — Expansion into Canada, Latin America, and Europe is rapidly increasing AUM and user base. - Subscription revenue momentum — Webull Premium and paid analytics products are exceeding targets, boosting recurring revenue. - Product innovation (AI assistant Vega) — Enhances engagement and supports higher ARPU. - Zero‑commission expansion — New zero‑commission trading in Canada increases competitiveness. Contrarians welcome.

I put an additional 5k in intel when the 13 gen fail started and they took that first big dip. They were obviously going to rebound eventually. If you're betting against PC tech right now you're extra stupid. Intel, AMD, Nvidia are not failing or falling from anywhere. People can kick and scream all they want about AI and data centers... it's going to continue growing and it is 100% the future.

When I saw the shame the original Intel guy did by wasting away Nana's promising fortune, I new I had to do something about it. Also, I like to keep an eye on the PC market. Their chips have improved for both desktops and laptops, and their GPUs are simple and affordable options for gamers. I really thought they would only get as high as $50 over two years with AI hype being where it is. I thought about selling back when it was $40 as I had ~$2.5k profit. Just got busy and forgot about it until my $70 notification went off.

I replied abt it here. Ppl are completely missing the picture.Agentic AI is cauaing CPU shortage. CPU to GPU ratio is increasing, real dat also showing CPU supply shocks, Intel confirmed this. The analyst on the call alao confirmed these exaxt ratios of need foe more CPU (compares to GPU) over the call, nVidia trying to enter the CPU market (check news from 3-4 mnths back), Most recent rumor was them trying to look to bjy a PC company (if cant build a CPU fast then buyout and control the chain). Its so surprising to see ppl disregarding everything said on Intel's ET call but would blindly asaume GPUs are the future. ##Man CEOs had been saying this from laat 2 yrs that with Inference and Agentic CPUs will be needes more. GPUs were moatly used for Training. Just go and listen to Intel's ER. That ER was eye opener. Numbers were okayish. Q&A was quite interesting. #Intel also answered that demand for CPU is so high that they have sold put everything, they dont have faster nodes as competitor which will take 12-18mnths. This line sky rocketed AMD's price also.

MU and Sandisk are trading high because there is a shortage of high bandwidth memory due to AI demand all their capacity for 2026 has been bought and committed to and they aren't making more which is pushing up the prices organically for their HBM which is why you can go on Amazon and look up RAM for your PC and see that it is 2-3x the price it used be. AMD is trading high because they are seeing heavy adoption of their MI350 series from hyperscalers like Meta, Oracle, Microsoft and OpenAI. This proved they are at least in the competitive space with Nvidia and now this summer they are releasing the MI450 which is expected to have much more adoption across the hyperscalers and neocloud companies. And now there looks to be a CPU shortage coming which we learned from Intel earnings today which is why INTC and AMD are pumping after hours today. All of this is actual changes in the landscape as AI infrastructure is being built out and these companies are actively benefitting and we see this in their quarterly earnings and news / billion dollar deal announcements. It's not about being smarter it's about seeing trends occur and investing on those trends ahead of time if you catch. If you are asking reddit then the trend has passed and also half or more of these people might not even be investing any of their money and just telling you what to do with their money and no research, just their opinions.

#Posted abt it here https://www.reddit.com/r/AMD_Stock/s/xerKWTNnAs ##During Intel's call the CEO and even Analyst confirmed that GPU to CPU ratio was higher. Now as we move more towards Agentic AI and Collective AI the demand for CPU will increase. Makes sense as nVidia has been trying to enter CPU market for thia same reason from last 4-5 mnths, wirh rumors of even trying to buy some PC company. It seems some other CEOs had also mentioned this last yr but was lost. Goto AMD sub and you'll see folks posting ER links, Analyst questions. ##GPU and CPU biz both will grow but CPUs wil be needed more is the indicator. Hence the spike in Intel and AMD price.

The Intel print is more important than the +16% after-hours number suggests — and also less important than the Terafab headline suggests. Three things actually happened. First, EPS $0.29 vs $0.01 consensus and revenue $13.6B vs $12.36B. That's a sixth consecutive revenue beat, and the Street was modeling essentially zero earnings. Client Computing came in at $7.7B vs $7.1B expected — the PC refresh cycle is real, and the AI PC mix is pulling ASP. Second, the Google Cloud multi-year Xeon arrangement. This is the piece that actually matters for the narrative. Every hyperscaler has been actively moving compute to custom silicon (Graviton, Trainium, Maia, Axion); a multi-year Xeon commitment from Google is the first real evidence that the CPU side isn't a melting ice cube. Third, Terafab. This is marketing — Musk ventures have announced fabs before, and a 2026 announcement doesn't become revenue before 2029. Treat it as an option, not a cash flow line. What I'd be watching into Q2: (1) Foundry segment operating loss — if it compresses by even $500M, the path to foundry breakeven by 2028 gets re-underwriteable; (2) capex intensity as a % of revenue — Intel ran at 45% capex/revenue in 2024, guidance implies the low-30s by 2027, any deviation changes the FCF math materially; (3) gross margin trajectory — sub-40% is the zone where shareholders lose faith, mid-40s is the zone where the stock can re-rate to a turnaround multiple. Q2 guide of $13.8–14.8B revenue is actually a \~$500M beat at the midpoint vs Street. The setup into Q2 is asymmetric — most of the bear case is now priced; most of the bull case still isn't.

I agree, Apple does it better in the past. iPhone came from iPod. iPod as a bit late, not too late and beat out Zune and other early mp3 players because they were differentiated and still owning a good chunk of PC space and their image was improving. I don't think they were that late on some of the items you say. I would argue they were early one iPod/iPhone which came iPad and early on Siri - this was under Jobs. They've been much later under Cook and AI is a space you can't really be late on. I think they're growth slows down incredibly unless they get back to innovating again.

I mean the entire PC/Mac and mobile market sees the same stuff year after year and it's been that way for a long time. So it's not just Apple. With them specifically though you saw them go from being the supplier of school computers to having the iPod then the iPhone and then a bunch of premium laptops and displays that were really well built and high end. That was probably about 10 or 15 years ago and there hasn't been that kind of generational leap since. I think they realized that which is why they ventured into that car development they had for awhile. They still make great and expensive high end products but it's just kind of been the same stuff over and over.

>A global CPU shortage is disrupting PC and industrial-computing supply chains, as processors are out of stock even at premium prices, while memory is limited but purchasable. The scarcity threatens notebook and industrial PC availability worldwide and may persist for some time until Intel's 18A process yields improve, industry sources warn. >Industry contacts described the current situation as more acute for processors than for memory, which is available in limited quantities at higher prices. By contrast, several processors are effectively unavailable regardless of price, affecting both Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Suppliers said relief may hinge on improvements in Intel's 18A process yields. >Both Intel and AMD raised processor prices by 10-15% recently to reflect rising costs. Notebook supply chain representatives, however, reported no immediate expectation of further increases because product availability, rather than price, is the primary constraint. The most scarce parts are Intel's 2022 Raptor Lake series, and one source said lead times have become meaningless because waiting does not guarantee delivery. #AMD to $1000 LMAO🤌

I’ve been selling since March because I own boatloads of CAR (inherited). Had no idea what was coming but once it hit $150, I started researching to understand what was going on. Used CoPilot (on my phone, not PC because that version is buggy) to research famous squeezes over the past ten years and help me understand the phases of a standard squeeze and develop a playbook for selling. So far it’s been working great and I’ve learned a ton! Today, saw this article and it’s worth reading. The key insights: there are still MANY more shorts trapped and driving the price up (and also doubling down). Not many floats available. It would take a minimum of seven trade days to get through all the shorts. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-15/avis-s-200-surge-lures-new-shorts-eyeing-trip-back-to-reality So, my thinking, and I’m sure it sounds crazy but I’m just fallowing the data, is that this could go on for maybe another ten days. I’ve adjusted the tail end of my sell rungs and will be adding more tomorrow (into the $1000’s - for funsies) I started following this sub in hopes of learning more about short squeezes. Hopefully this sub will improve. It’s been fascinating!

Also just cause the market isn't lower doesn't mean you didn't lose out due to inflation. If the market dropped and didn't get back past it's prior peak until 2026 then you'd have lost out on a lot of opportunity cost and dollar devaluation. The price of a top-line PC, new car, 1oz of gold, or a month of groceries in 2006 is much lower than in 2026.

I watched the stock drop to $102/share on private credit narrative concerns (story redux is low liquidity PC loans, primarily used by PE firms, many of these for software company acquisitions, plus the threat of AI disruption of software companies). BX behavior hasn’t indicated concern. Headlines that weren’t “PC is the next sub-prime” sensationalism have been about deals. I’ve held, being patient and waiting for the narrative to blow over.

The way the banking sector funds its loans is just so fundamentally different than the PC funds. Banks (collectively) hold all the money in the economy at all times. If you take your money out of Chase to pay someone (for groceries, stock purchase, or anything) who banks with Citi, the money stays in the banking system. This is key. And the banks lend each other on overnight repos for liquidity. And the Fed can always step in as the lender of last resort to a bank. Still, banks direct >90% of lending to good borrowers. And this is why banks can operate with higher leverage. In fact, the better metric might be loan to deposit ratios which are about 70% today (vs 100% pre-GFC) i.e. banks lend out 70cts per dollar of deposit vs PCs lend out one dollar per 60cts of investor money. The bank deposits can move from bank to bank but in the aggregate, they never leave the banking system. The 60cts of PC investor money could leave when the funds mature (and up to 5% could leave each quarter in the case of BDCs). PC funds don’t enjoy any of the banking system safeguards. They need investors to keep their money in the funds e.g. rollover to a new fund when the old fund matures. So they’re vulnerable to investor runs.

I think you bring up good points. I thought the same with 2.1x interest coverage, lol that’s not the flex they apparently think it is. 1. I think they are comparing apples to oranges in the way they’re comparing banks leverage vs funds borrowing per $ of lending. PC is using investors funds and borrowings whereas banks are using deposits to fund asset purchases. It’s just not the same numerator and denominator if I’m following the source correctly. Also in point one they say it’s nothing like 2008 where assets have high LTV and obscured risk characteristics but that’s exactly what people are criticizing now. If the underlying collateral is undervalued, propped up by not arms length transactions and ratings from agencies that still rubber stamp inflated grades based on the same perverse incentive structure that existed in 2008, and thus risk characteristics are obscured through limited private reporting requirements and insufficiently risk adjusted tranche structures in securitized assets of private credit pools… then ya that does sound a lot like exactly the issues identified in 2008. 2. “They report a lot of details” ah I see. Well then that’s sorted, good enough for me. 3. We’ve covered 4. Something something past performance indicative of future results. Also worth noting private credit performance has been reverting to mean recently so I don’t think the point even stands and that argument to begin with. 5. Surely the best point they have but I don’t think the current concern is really all SaaS driven as they seem to imply.

IMO, this is how the PC industry could be vulnerable in an economic downturn… A/ PC AUM shrinkage The PC industry has grown by >10x since GFC. While 85%+ of funds have 6-8 year lock-ups, funds do mature eventually. If investors re-allocate the money to other investments, industry AUM will shrink and PC borrowers could have trouble with refinancing even if their credit profile is stable and unchanged. B/ The private equity and VC industries remain stuck so portfolio companies are taking longer to exit (get acquired or IPO). This means they need the PC industry to extend lending for longer. C/ Banks provide most of the 40cts per dollar in PC fund leverage. If they tighten credit due to economic conditions (or just to squeeze PC funds so they stop encroaching on the banks’ own lending activities), they could compound the pressure on PC borrowers just as they see a pressure from a slowing economy. In short, a slowing economy could create a perfect storm: As IPO & M&A activity slows down, PE/VC portfolio companies need to extend or refinance their PC borrowing just as they get hit by the slowing economy. PC AUMs could swing from net inflows to net outflows (due to funds maturation and investor re-allocation to high grade credit in a downturn) and this is also met with banks pulling back lending to PC funds. Net-net, perfectly viable borrowers get pushed into a liquidity crunch, forcing loan markdowns, thereby accelerating net outflows (instead of rollovers) when PC funds mature. This in turn forces banks to further tighten lending to PC funds even more and the whole PC industry goes into a tailspin.

They are two sides of the same coin. Private equity cannot exist without private credit. The PE Firm acts as the borrower. They seek to improve the company's value and eventually sell it for a profit. The PC Firm acts as the lender. They provide the debt necessary for the PE firm to complete the acquisition. The PE Firm acts as the borrower. They seek to improve the company's value and eventually sell it for a profit. The PC Firm acts as the lender.

If you want to try it out, you can start with a **$5 bonus** right off the bat if you use a referral link.

Tbf for Sony I am most excited by their Imaging segment, which should benefit greatly from Physical AI/Robotics. I don’t believe gamers are necessarily moving to PC gaming, but I won’t argue w you since I am not a gamer myself.

Buy Sony if you think anime & music will do well in the future. I am not as bullish on Sony's video game segment. Nintendo has that console niche market locked up and it seems all the gamers are moving to PC gaming. Sony owns Crunchyroll so they are a major player if that continues to grow. Music is where its at thou. Sony paid $400M for the music rights for Pink Floyd's catalog. There's gonna be other deals like that. Music has been so undervalued since 2005 or whenever stealing music online became the thing. People are now starting to spend real money on music realizing its worth and listening to music w/ ads just isn't worth saving the $10-$15 a month.

At this point it’s all just rumors, nothing confirmed. But if Nvidia really did jump into PC manufacturing, I can’t help but think it’s their way of making up for the money they’re losing from not being able to sell AI chips in China and other restricted markets. Honestly, can we blame them? They’re just trying to find another lane to keep the growth going.

i would be guesssing Lenovo- clse relations to nvidia for data centers, geopolitics make it difficult pick, but maybe a motorola pc assets or thinkpad brand is possible? Fujitsu Client Computing Limited (FCCL) is actually majority-owned by Lenovo since 2018. Buying Fujitsu PC business would mean buying it from Lenovo, not from Fujitsu. is nvidia tryint to compete in sovereign compute market? >The "Nvidia-Japan" Loophole: Why buy FCCL or NECPC? >If Nvidia is looking to buy a "large PC-oriented company," and we look at Japan, they aren't looking for "gaming laptops." They are looking for distribution and trust. >The Target: Fujitsu Client Computing (FCCL) and NEC Personal Computers (NECPC) are the "workstations of state" in Japan. They are currently 51% owned by Lenovo. >The "N1X" Strategy: Nvidia’s new N1X ARM chip needs a home. If Nvidia buys the Japanese PC arms back from Lenovo, they don't just get a factory; they get the installed base of the Japanese Government and Keidanren (Big Business). \* The Sovereign PC: By "Nvidifying" the Japanese desktop, they can force the adoption of their "Vera" CPUs and "Blackwell" GPUs at the edge, effectively "front-running" the sovereign movement before domestic chips like MONAKA can take over the office. nidia trying to own whole world lol

so nvidia said no PC company meaning its SMCI?

Fake news, Nvidia already said they weren't acquiring a PC company. RIP HP/Dell stocks that rocketed.

I wish I still had my first computer... Tandy PC/1000 (TX/2 rebranded for McDuff's I think)... 8086-2/8Mhz, 512k RAM, MSDOS 3.3 on a ROM, 720k and 360k floppies. Eventually upgraded it with an NEC V30/12Mhz, 640k, and a 40MB HD. I was actually able to play Wolf3d on it at that point.

I'd buy an Nvidia gaming PC any day

Nvidia wants to buy Intel. Fits the description of “reshape the PC landscape” and “Nvidia spokesperson stated, “The media report is false; Nvidia is not engaged in discussions to acquire any **PC maker.**” the wording “ since late 2024 and the time is approaching to make a deal or walk.” Comes into play when you see Intel has become $100 billion or so more expensive the past two weeks. It already has a 5% ownership. They wanted ARM but couldn’t get it due to regulators. I think they could get it past US regulators and I think Trump would be willing to sell to say he made money for the US. Internationally it would be harder to get past regulators than ARM probably.

Someone who’s name rhymes with Jarron had to exit his DELL position so they had to come up with a story that NVDA is buying a company that makes PC’s, and then later say it’s just a rumor.

adbe for sure, its not PC oriented but it has my bags

Hypothesis to debate: Dell is very expensive. HPQ is cheap by comparison, but doesn't have servers. HPE DOES have servers and is still cheap by comparison. Why not by the PC business from HPQ and the server business from HPE? You get what you "want" (if the speculation is true) and at a much cheaper price than Dell as a whole. Discuss.

NVDA is negotiating to buy a PC company for over a year. I bet it's DELL but it could be HP or SMCI.

"Nvidia, $NVDA, has been in reported talks to buy a large PC company, per unconfirmed rumours and noted in Barron's." Dell, MU, SNDK? 🤔

No it's says "large PC Oriental Company" So they're going to start putting stir fry noodles in the GPUs

I agree. Same for OpenAi and Anthropic IPO. My simple view is if they’re so good they can raise all the capital they need can’t they? Also aren’t they trying to add PE and PC to 401ks lol

Super Micro makes the most sense, any Nvidia PC would need a server like motherboard to handle the GPUs

Mentions:#PC

The issue for me is why would NVIDIA buy a PC company when the vast majority of their sales are hyperscaler/neo cloud purchases? If you look at the power draw of their GPUs it keeps going up to the point that servers have to increase their size to cool it, not that folks can even power racks to fill them with servers. Same thing for PCs, they can’t get THAT power in the laptop space. And even then most AI workloads are hosted in the cloud anyway, not on-device unless it’s a dual SLM/LLM with cloud connectivity like on the iPhone

Mentions:#PC#SLM

Perhaps they would just buy the PC division?

Mentions:#PC

Considering that Nvidia only cares about AI these days, the question to ask is which PC oriented company is most likely to effectively feed their slop machine? To that, I have no idea. Super Micro makes most sense, even if they don't make 'PC's, per se.

Currently having Claude execute a 20 page analysis on my work laptop while also running Claude on my personal PC to generate an equity analyst-level report on CAAP to test its equity analyst abilities so calls on Anthropic's IPO?

Yep, they are basically the only non gaming pc maker. (Well, they make Alienware, but overall they are just a PC company)
