Memory is still the AI bottleneck, and Micron’s Town of Clay concrete says the capex buildout is real, but it has to show up in HBM supply and margin leverage. At down 7% on the position, I’d stay long and buy weakness in pieces: own it, don’t trade it.

Qty # 10 · Last Price $1,915.92 · Value $19,159.20 · Total Cost $22,775.00

Storage is AI plumbing, but these headlines are noise: a consumer SSD discount and broad market strength, not proof of enterprise demand or margin power. I stay long but buy weakness in pieces, because the trade only gets real when SanDisk shows AI data-center storage pull-through and pricing discipline.

-5.37%

Qty # 50 · Last Price $602.50 · Value $30,125.00 · Total Cost $31,833.90

Semicap is the AI capex toll booth, but AMAT sits behind cleaner wafer fab stories because China risk and foundry timing still matter. With no fresh headline and the position still down 5.37%, I’d trim into this 2.35% pop and keep capital aimed at names with clearer margin leverage.

Qty # 20 · Last Price $557.89 · Value $11,157.80 · Total Cost $11,541.60

AI semis are still the tape, but with no fresh AMD-specific catalyst, this is a group move, not a thesis upgrade. I’d stay long and buy weakness in pieces, but don’t chase a +2% day while the position is still red.

-26.32%

Qty # 30 · Last Price $244.61 · Value $7,338.30 · Total Cost $9,960.00

Clean-power infrastructure is getting hit, and there is no BE-specific headline here, so the trade is not on just because it is down 5%. At -26% in the position, demand margin proof, backlog conversion, and data-center power wins before adding; otherwise trim strength and fund better AI power-chain names.

Qty # 25 · Last Price $1,091.57 · Value $27,289.25 · Total Cost $27,230.50

No fresh headlines means GEV trades on the power-and-electrification thesis, and at $1,091 after a green day I stay long but would not chase it. Grid demand, gas turbines, service margins, and AI data-center power keep the setup alive, but buy weakness in pieces and keep position sizing tight.

-17.05%

Qty # 150 · Last Price $109.84 · Value $16,476.00 · Total Cost $19,863.49

Semis first: Intel is still a turnaround story, not the AI tollbooth, and a -2.4% tape says investors are selling the margin and foundry proof gap. At a -17% position loss, I’d keep it small, stop averaging until customers and capex returns show up, and let TSM be the cleaner own-it-don’t-trade-it read.

-23.63%

Qty # 90 · Last Price $235.81 · Value $21,222.90 · Total Cost $27,788.00

Semis are getting hit, and MRVL with no fresh catalyst is still a show-me name tied to AI networking, custom silicon, and optical demand. I would not chase the bounce; trim dead weight on strength, add only if margins and AI order visibility improve.

-30.78%

Qty # 2 · Last Price $145.30 · Value $290.60 · Total Cost $419.81

Space is the sector, and SpaceX still has the right fundamentals: launch cadence, Starlink scale, and private-market scarcity. At down 30.78%, I would not average blindly; hold a core only if you believe Starlink margins keep compounding and liquidity eventually rerates the name.

-8.88%

Qty # 20 · Last Price $434.11 · Value $8,682.20 · Total Cost $9,528.00

Semis are about capacity and pricing, and these tiny ESPP buys are noise, not a catalyst; TSMC still owns the AI foundry toll road where CoWoS and advanced packaging matter. At -8.88% on the position, I’d stay long and buy weakness in pieces because this is an own it, don’t trade it name, booyah.

WDC

-26.30%

Qty # 20 · Last Price $582.59 · Value $11,651.70 · Total Cost $15,809.28

Storage is a cycle trade, and WDC needs NAND pricing strength and margin proof before this drawdown earns more capital. I'd avoid adding on a quiet +0.78% day; wait for a real fundamental catalyst, then buy weakness in pieces.

Watchlist

BE

BLOOM ENERGY CORP COM CL A

$244.61 -$12.41 (-4.83%)

Clean power is still a premium data-center trade, but this rare-mineral spotlight hits Bloom right in input security, cost curves, and supply-chain confidence. At $244.61 after a 4.83% hit, do not chase; watch management’s rebuttal and procurement disclosures, because any proof this dents margins or deployment cadence cools the setup fast.

CBRS

CEREBRAS SYSTEMS INC COM CL A

$215.08 $16.55 (8.34%)

AI silicon is hot, and CBRS is proving it can manufacture at scale: revenue more than doubled to $193.4M and losses narrowed, so the pop is fundamentals first, EPS miss second. Watch customer concentration, advanced packaging, HBM, and power constraints; I like the setup on weakness, not after a vertical chase.

GLW

CORNING INC COM

$190.89 -$1.49 (-0.77%)

No fresh headlines, so the small red tape means nothing; this is an optical-and-AI-data-center supply-chain watch, not a chart call. Watch optical sales, margin leverage, and hyperscaler capex, because if that demand stays hot, the trade is on.

GOOGL

ALPHABET INC CAP STK CL A

$357.18 -$1.71 (-0.48%)

Internet platforms still run on scale, ad cash flow, and AI capex discipline, and GOOGL has all three with Search plus Cloud margin expansion driving the story. The dip is noise: watch Cloud growth, Gemini’s defense of search economics, and capex efficiency; I like this name on real weakness, not a chase.

IRDM

IRIDIUM COMMUNICATIONS INC COM

$50.06 -$0.55 (-1.09%)

IRDM is a steady satellite-connectivity watch, but with no fresh catalyst and the stock down 1%, the trade is not on today. Watch service revenue, subscriber adds, device adoption, leverage, and capex discipline; I like it only when cash-flow durability is getting paid in the sector.

LITE

LUMENTUM HLDGS INC COM

$802.01 $16.24 (2.07%)

No fresh headline catalyst, so this LITE move is sector tape: optical names are getting paid when AI capex stays hot and supply-chain leverage matters. Watch margins, hyperscaler demand, and CoWoS/HBM-adjacent optical pull-through; I like it on weakness, not after a straight pop.

NVDA

NVIDIA CORPORATION COM

$210.96 $8.18 (4.03%)

Semis are back in command, but a buyback only matters if data-center demand stays white-hot and HBM/CoWoS supply keeps feeding Blackwell without margin slippage. I like NVDA on weakness in pieces, not chasing a 4% pop off a buyback headline; watch hyperscaler capex and gross margin flow-through.

Q

QNITY ELECTRONICS INC COMMON STOCK

$143.80 $0.34 (0.24%)

No fresh catalyst means the move does not change the setup; this is a watchlist name until volume, margins, or end-market demand give you a real reason to lean in. Stay disciplined, because without news the trade is not on.

TSM

TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACT SPONSORED ADS

$434.11 -$2.85 (-0.65%)

This 31-share ESPP buy is a non-event; the real story is AI foundry demand, CoWoS capacity, HBM packaging, and margin discipline while capex stays heavy. At $434, watch Taiwan risk and big-customer digestion, but TSM stays the toll road in semis and I like this name on weakness.
