Micron just reported a record-breaking quarter with $13.6 billion in revenue and confirmed that their capacity is fully booked through 2026. We analyze the company's impressive sequential growth and the Q2 outlook which implies a 132% year-over-year revenue increase. Additionally, we clarify the misunderstanding regarding the company's decision to exit its direct-to-consumer memory unit versus its ongoing sales to PC and smartphone manufacturers.<br>
Despite the strong performance, we remain prudent regarding valuation and the cyclical nature of the industry. We break down the adjusted free cash flow metric, which adds back Chips Act incentives , and discuss how significant capital expenditures for equipment are impacting profitability.

Caterpillar isn't just moving dirt—they've been powering the grid for decades. But now, that "boring" energy business is becoming the main event.<br>In this video, we break down how Caterpillar’s long-standing Energy & Transportation segment has officially overtaken construction as the company's largest revenue driver. AI data center power needs have turned this legacy business into a critical infrastructure play, driving a $10 billion jump in backlog as data centers scramble for onsite power.<br>We analyze why the market is finally repricing this "hidden" energy giant, compare their onsite generation strategy directly against GE Vernova, and run a reverse DCF valuation to see if the stock is still a buy at all-time highs.<br>Join us on Discord with Semiconductor Insider, sign up on our website: www.chipstockinvestor.com/membership<br>Supercharge your analysis with AI!

Netflix just bid $83 Billion for Warner Bros, but they left out half the company. Now, a hostile takeover from Paramount could ruin everything. Here is why we aren't buying Netflix stock on this news.<br>
In this video, we break down the massive bidding war for Warner Bros Discovery. Netflix has officially entered the chat with a complex deal to acquire HBO and the Warner Bros movie studios while leaving the "dying" cable assets behind. But the drama is just starting—Paramount Skydance has launched a hostile counter-offer directly to shareholders.
<br>We analyze the "Bad Breakup" of Warner Bros Discovery, the $5.8 Billion termination fee risk, and why this deal could load Netflix with an unmanageable $80 Billion debt burden. Is this the moment Netflix becomes "uninvestable," or is it the ultimate media monopoly?

Salesforce has officially completed its acquisition of Informatica three months ahead of schedule, but the real story on the recent earnings call was the company's aggressive pivot to "Agentforce," which was mentioned (a lot) during the presentation. In this breakdown, we analyze how Informatica serves as the critical software infrastructure layer, providing the clean data integration needed to power Salesforce’s agentic AI products and automate customer workflows.<br>We also dive into the financials, looking at how Informatica contributes approximately 5% to revenue and 3% to free cash flow, while Salesforce shares trade at an attractive 18x trailing price-to-free cash flow. Finally, we discuss our broader investment strategy: while semiconductor valuations remain elevated, we are finding significant value in enterprise SaaS, leading to recent additions in our portfolio including Salesforce, Monday.com, and GitLab.<br>Join us on Discord with Semiconductor Insider, sign up on our website: www.chipstockinvestor.com/membership<br>Supercharge your analysis with AI!

Pure-play robotics stock Symbotic (SYM) has had a wild ride in 2025, soaring to new highs before taking a significant hit—dropping ~21% in just 24 hours. After several write-ups on our research platform, we decided it was time to make a video!<br>
In this video, Nick and Kasey break down exactly what Symbotic does, from its AI-powered intake systems to the "SymBot" mini-robots automating logistics for giants like Walmart. We analyze the company's recent earnings, which showed strong full-year numbers, and explain why Wall Street analysts quickly downgraded the stock despite the initial pop.<br>
We also unpack the complex customer concentration risk. With Walmart accounting for nearly 85% of revenue and a complex "joint venture" with GreenBox making up much of the rest, is Symbotic too dependent on a single partner? Plus, we discuss the new Medline customer announcement and what it means for Symbotic’s entry into healthcare logistics.
<br>If you're looking for a robotics pure play, Symbotic is one of the few out there—but is the valuation justified? Join us as we explore the financials, the backlog, and the real risks behind the hype.

Nvidia has just announced a $2 billion purchase of Synopsys stock, tightening the relationship between the AI hardware giant and the leading Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company. In this video, we break down why Nvidia is betting big on its upstream partner and what this means for the future of the semiconductor supply chain.<br>We explore the strategic reasoning behind the deal, including the acceleration of chip design using Nvidia CUDA libraries and the expansion of Digital Twin technology for factory and automotive simulations. We also analyze the impact of the Synopsys and Ansys merger, which positions the combined company as a leader in engineering simulation and Physical AI—critical for robotics and industrial equipment.<br>Despite the bullish news, Synopsys stock has faced headwinds.

While investors have been piling into Nvidia and AI infrastructure, the narrative for Enterprise SaaS has shifted to "all-out destruction." The fear? That AI will disrupt legacy software. The reality? A circular reasoning trap that has crushed valuations and created potential opportunities for patient investors.<br>In this episode, we analyze the current state of the software market, using Adobe (ADBE) and Monday.com (MNDY) as prime examples. We discuss why the "R&D Holiday" of the 2010s is officially over, why profit margins are compressing as companies spend heavily to integrate AI, and why Adobe’s recent $1.9B acquisition of SEMrush signals a new phase of competition.<br>We also break down why—despite the doom and gloom—revenue growth remains consistent and why this sector sell-off might be the time to start "bottom feeding."<br>Join us on Discord with Semiconductor Insider, sign up on our website: www.chipstockinvestor.com/membership<br>Supercharge your analysis with AI!

The media narrative on Google (Alphabet) has flip-flopped again. Suddenly, Google TPUs are "killing" Nvidia, Gemini 3 is here, and the stock is soaring. But is AI dominance really the reason Google stock has doubled since April?<br>In this episode, we dig past the headlines to uncover the real catalyst behind Google’s recent stock performance—and it has less to do with the TPU vs. GPU debate and more to do with the clearing fog around major antitrust cases regarding Chrome and Android.<br>We also break down Alphabet’s massive $56B R&D spend, their aggressive AI data center CapEx, and why their impressive per-share profit growth makes them a potential "soft hedge" against Nvidia in your semiconductor portfolio.

Michael Burry, the investor made famous by The Big Short, is warning of a major risk in the AI data center boom.

Ouster (OUST) is a small-cap player in LIDAR, aiming for a role in AI infrastructure and Physical AI. After a pullback following its Q3 2025 earnings, we dive into the financials to see if this "prove it" stock is a buy the dip candidate.<br>
We analyze the company's supply chain, key customers like Serve Robotics, and break down Ouster's progress toward its long-term financial goals for revenue growth, gross margins, and operating expenses. While Q3 showed strong revenue acceleration, a look at free cash flow and the dilutive effect of the ATM program highlights the trade-offs of investing in a high-growth small-cap business.
<br>We also revisit a special valuation method we use for companies that aren't yet profitable to determine what Ouster would be trading at if it hit a 20% free cash flow margin. Tune in for our full analysis of Ouster's stock performance and outlook.
