Intel Corporation | INTC | Long at $44.26Entered Intel NASDAQ:INTC after-hours at $44.26. The US government is too heavily invested in this one to let it truely slide. The earnings / EPS projections show a likely major turnaround. Any dips are purely programmatic for entry (watch insiders and politicians . I may sound like a conspiracy theorist here, but a $8.9 billion investment from the US government is absolutely going to lead to major returns by 2028/2029. There is a major price gap a lot of people aren't seeing all the way back to the year 2000 between $71.38 and $73.44. That's my main target. And, like dot-com crash, it may go further until.... So, in the near-term, there could be weakness and a dip to retouch the historical average band ($30's - another entry). But my outlook is longer. And, given the need for chips and the government wanting a major return on their investment, I suspect this one is going to lead to a solid return. Targets into 2029 $60.00 (+35.6%) $73.00 (+64.9%)

MPWR: The High-Conviction AI Power PlayMonolithic Power Systems (MPWR) is now a critical lynchpin in the global AI infrastructure race. Market expectations have shifted upward, with revised price targets significantly exceeding previous levels. Investors must look beyond the headline numbers to understand the deep structural advantages driving this valuation. Industry Trends and Technology Artificial Intelligence runs on power as data centers scale to support next-generation GPU and XPU platforms, and energy consumption skyrockets. Experts identify MPWR as a compelling AI infrastructure bet for this exact reason. The company dominates high-density power delivery. Their integrated circuits (ICs) solve the twin challenges of energy efficiency and heat dissipation. In the high-stakes world of AI training, thermal management is not just a feature; it is a physics-defined necessity. Business Models and Innovation MPWR differentiates itself through relentless specialization. Unlike broad-market chipmakers, they focus exclusively on high-performance power solutions. This "sniper" approach allows them to capture high-margin segments in computing, automotive, and industrial markets. Their business model relies on solving complex engineering problems that competitors avoid. This culture of engineering excellence creates a formidable moat. By reducing total energy consumption, they provide direct cost savings to hyperscalers, making their products indispensable. Geopolitics and Geostrategy AI dominance is the new nuclear arms race. Nations and corporations compete desperately for computational supremacy. This geopolitical friction drives demand for the most efficient hardware available. MPWR sits at a strategic choke point in this supply chain. Without advanced power management, the world’s fastest chips cannot operate at peak performance. Consequently, MPWR’s technology becomes a strategic asset, insulating it somewhat from standard consumer cycle fluctuations. Macroeconomics and Economics The macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, yet AI spending shows resilience. Corporations prioritize AI investment to drive future productivity, ignoring short-term headwinds. This divergence creates a multibillion-dollar potential for MPWR. While other sectors contract, the data center power market expands. This economic decoupling allows MPWR to outperform broader indices. Smart capital flows toward infrastructure plays that underpin the entire digital economy. Patent Analysis and Science MPWR’s dominance rests on hard science and intellectual property. Their patent portfolio covers novel methods for reducing heat dissipation in integrated circuits. This is not merely design; it is material science innovation. Protecting these advancements prevents commoditization. Competitors struggle to replicate MPWR’s efficiency metrics without infringing on their IP. This legal and technical barrier secures their market share against cheaper, generic alternatives. Conclusion Monolithic Power Systems represents more than a chip stock. It is a foundational infrastructure play for the AI era. Management executes a clear vision, leveraging technical superiority to command pricing power. For investors seeking high-conviction exposure to the AI boom without picking a single software winner, MPWR offers a compelling solution.

NVTS: Uptrend from April lows may be complete Putting my late‑October NVTS update into a separate idea. From the way the corrective structure off the October highs is developing, it increasingly looks like the entire advance from the April lows may be complete, with price likely having formed a mid‑term top. The ideal macro support zone to complete this full corrective cycle sits at 5.20–3.90. In the near term, a move into the 6.97–5.70 area has a high probability of generating a bounce, but that bounce would most likely only create a larger‑degree lower high before the final leg down into macro support finishes the correction.

Can Gold's Transformation Justify a $7,000 Price Target?The global gold market is experiencing a fundamental paradigm shift as the metal transitions from a passive portfolio hedge to a strategic necessity across multiple domains. With U.S. national debt exceeding $38 trillion and a debt-to-GDP ratio above 124%, the report argues that sovereign debt debasement has become mathematically inevitable, forcing central banks into implicit yield curve control and perpetual currency dilution. Simultaneously, geopolitical fractures exemplified by the January 2026 capture of Venezuelan President Maduro and escalating Arctic tensions over Greenland are driving nations to diversify away from their reliance on weaponized dollar reserves. The BRICS alliance's launch of a 40% gold-backed "Unit" currency in October 2025, combined with record central bank purchases of 220 tonnes in Q3 2025 alone, signals a coordinated global effort to remonetize gold as the ultimate neutral reserve asset. Beyond monetary dynamics, gold is becoming indispensable to the technological infrastructure of the future. The AI revolution creates inelastic industrial demand, with gold-tin solder and gold wire bonding proving essential for thermal management in high-performance chips, such as NVIDIA's B200 GPU and High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM3E) systems. This "AI tax" on gold supply permanently removes metal from circulation as it becomes embedded in data centers and semiconductor packages. Basel III regulatory reforms have further catalyzed demand by elevating allocated physical gold to Tier 1 asset status, incentivizing banks to swap paper assets for physical metal, and exposing the leverage in the paper gold market. Additionally, emerging applications in quantum computing, nanomedicine, and space infrastructure, including China's planned deployment of 200,000+ satellites for 6G networks, create entirely new sources of consumption. The convergence of these structural forces creates what the report calls a "supply squeeze" amid declining ore grades, rising production costs, and potential export restrictions by major producers. With global debt approaching $346 trillion and cyber warfare risks underscoring gold's unique status as an "analog hedge" immune to digital manipulation, the report projects $7,000 per ounce not as speculation but as a rational repricing of a strategic asset facing unprecedented convergent demand. The thesis holds that gold has evolved from a "nice-to-have" portfolio diversifier into a "must-have" strategic material for central banks seeking neutrality, technology companies requiring conductivity, and investors needing protection against systemic collapse. The authors conclude that supply constraints can be resolved only through price adjustment, making the path to $7,000 "paved with necessity."

AMAT 1W: Retesting the Neckline Before the Next Move?On the weekly chart, Applied Materials (AMAT) has completed a clean inverted head and shoulders breakout around $226, and is now pulling back to retest the neckline zone near $200–211. This area acts as strong support. If buyers defend it, the bullish pattern stays valid, with a projected target around $277, matching the 1.618 Fibonacci extension. From a fundamental perspective, AMAT remains a key semiconductor player, benefiting from ongoing demand for chip-making equipment. The pullback looks more like a healthy pause than weakness - a classic chance for latecomers to re-enter. Funny enough, the “head and shoulders” pattern, known for signaling tops, is doing the exact opposite here - apparently, even the market likes a good plot twist.

Can Oxygen Absorption Forge a Wireless Revolution?Peraso Inc. (NASDAQ: PRSO) operates at the intersection of geopolitics, physics, and semiconductor innovation in the 60GHz millimeter-wave spectrum. As Western governments dismantle Chinese telecommunications infrastructure through "Rip and Replace" initiatives, Peraso emerges as a strategic beneficiary—offering North American-designed silicon fabricated through TSMC that meets "Clean Network" standards. The company's technology leverages a peculiar quirk of atmospheric physics: oxygen molecules absorb 60GHz signals within 1-2 kilometers, creating both a limitation and a strategic advantage. This phenomenon enables spatial isolation for frequency reuse and inherent physical-layer security, positioning Peraso's solutions as ideal for dense urban wireless networks, military tactical communications, and next-generation VR/AR devices requiring multi-gigabit wireless bandwidth. The company's leadership, veterans of the Intellon-to-Atheros-to-Qualcomm acquisition chain, brings proven expertise in standardizing emerging connectivity technologies. Peraso holds nine Standard Essential Patents for IEEE 802.11ay (WiGig), creating licensing leverage across any manufacturer building compliant high-speed wireless devices. Despite Q3 2025 revenue reaching $3.2 million (up 45% sequentially) and expanding gross margins by 56%, the stock remains deeply undervalued, as evidenced by Mobix Labs' hostile $1.30/share takeover attempt, which represents a 53% premium. The company has successfully transitioned from its legacy MoSys memory business to become a pure-play 60GHz specialist, securing design wins in defense applications and partnerships with major fixed wireless access providers. Peraso's investment thesis is based on three pillars: geopolitical tailwinds that are forcing Western infrastructure operators toward trusted suppliers, the irreplaceable physics of 60GHz in solving spectrum congestion, and a patent portfolio that positions the company as either a future licensing powerhouse or an attractive acquisition target. The primary risks include aggressive cash burn requiring frequent dilution, execution challenges in reaching fragmented WISP customers, and the inherent volatility of micro-cap semiconductor stocks. For investors seeking asymmetric exposure to the "Wireless Fiber" revolution, where capital-efficient mmWave bridges replace expensive fiber deployments, Peraso represents a contrarian deep-tech opportunity in an overlooked corner of the connectivity market.

Mobileye 2026: Reclaiming the ADAS Throne with EyeQ6HMobileye (MBLY) kicked off 2026 with a decisive victory, securing a massive production deal with a top-10 U.S. automaker. This agreement integrates Mobileye’s "Surround ADAS" into millions of vehicles as standard equipment. The market responded immediately, sending shares up 7% in early January trading. This win signals a strategic pivot for the industry, prioritizing scalable safety over elusive fully autonomous dreams. Geostrategy: Balancing the US-China Tech Divide Global regulatory pressures are accelerating the adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Europe’s latest mandates for automatic braking and driver monitoring have forced automakers to seek rapid, reliable solutions. While Chinese OEMs lead in urban "Navigation on Autopilot," Western manufacturers are now fighting back. By securing a major U.S. player, Mobileye reinforces its position as the preferred partner for "Eyes-on, Hands-off" highway technology across North America and Europe. Technology: The Efficiency of Heterogeneous Computing The EyeQ6H chip is the crown jewel of this new partnership. Unlike competitors who focus solely on raw "TOPS" (Tera Operations Per Second), Mobileye emphasizes power efficiency and hardware-software co-design. The EyeQ6H utilizes a specialized architecture, including Vector Microcode Processors (VMP) and Deep Learning Accelerators (XNN). This design allows a single chip to process data from up to 11 sensors, enabling highway speeds of 81 mph (130 kph) with minimal power draw. Business Model: ECU Consolidation and Cost Leadership Automakers are currently struggling with the rising complexity of vehicle electronics. Mobileye’s "Surround ADAS" offers a way to simplify this architecture. By consolidating multiple driving and safety functions onto a single Electronic Control Unit (ECU), manufacturers can significantly reduce production costs. This business model appeals directly to mass-market brands needing to offer premium features without premium price tags. The current deal targets 9 million units, proving that Mobileye’s "democratization of safety" is finally scaling. Macroeconomics: Navigating the Post-Shutdown Recovery The 43-day U.S. government shutdown in late 2025 created a vacuum in regulatory approvals and economic data. As federal agencies resume operations, the automotive sector is bracing for a wave of new safety certifications. Mobileye’s proven track record—with over 200 million vehicles already using its technology—gives it an edge in this "bottleneck" environment. Investors view this new contract as a high-visibility revenue bridge that offsets previous concerns about slower robotaxi deployments. Innovation and Patent Moats: The REM Advantage Mobileye’s true competitive moat lies in its Road Experience Management (REM) data. Over 8 million vehicles currently harvest anonymized, crowdsourced mapping data globally. This patented approach allows Mobileye-equipped cars to "see" the road with centimeter-level precision without expensive LiDAR. This scientific advantage in localization and mapping makes their systems easier to deploy at scale than "vision-only" or "LiDAR-heavy" alternatives.

MICRON scripted blue-print. More than -50% sell-off expected.Micron Technology (MU) is on an amazing long-term rally since the April 2025 Low, currently on the 6th straight green month (1M candle) and 8th in the last 9 months. Its historic price action however shows that this remarkable uptrend may be coming to an end as the price is approaching the top of its 17-year Channel Up (started after the 2008 U.S. Housing Crisis). Technically, this post April 2025 rally, is the Bullish Leg of this Channel Up and it already broke above the 0.786 Channel Fibonacci, a level that has only broken 3 times in total, with the last being in June 2018. At the same time, it is close to completing a +601.35% rise, which despite being unusually high, Micron has done such rally 3 times in the past. The remarkable feat is that all those rallies where exactly +601.35%! Last but not least, the 1M RSI is massively overbought and is approaching Resistance 2 (89.00), which was last seen on the June 2014 High. All those factors collectively, force a huge bearish dynamic long-term. At best, we may see this rally exhaust near $440 on the short-term, thus fulfilling the +601.35% Bullish Leg blue-print but on the long-term the value of selling give much higher return. And as far as a potential Target for this upcoming Bear Cycle is concerned, the 0.236 Channel Fibonacci level is the strongest candidate as virtually all major corrections since 2011 have hit that trend-line before the market bottomed. As this chart shows, the 0.236 Fib level has been touched 6 times since 2011, with the market hitting at least its 1M MA50 (blue trend-line) in the process on a minimum -50% decline. The 1M MA100 (green trend-line) has been its true long-term Support since July 2016. As a result, it is highly probable that Micron drops below the 1M MA50 and hits the 0.236 Fib at around $140 before the market bottoms and turns into a long-term Buy again. At the same time, it is useful to keep an eye on the 1M RSI and Support Zone 1. This has given the last 3 major Buy Signals since December 2018. As a result, if the stock hits that level before reaching $140, we will turn into long-term buyers regardless of the price. --- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Can Mobileye Turn a 19M-Unit Win Into Market Dominance?Mobileye Global Inc. has secured a transformative 19-million-unit pipeline through two major deals: 9 million EyeQ6H chips for a top-10 US automaker's next-generation ADAS and a previous Volkswagen commitment. This achievement comes during a challenging period marked by a 50% stock decline in 2025, yet it signals a fundamental shift in the company's business model. The transition from selling basic safety chips at $40–$50 per unit to offering a comprehensive "Surround ADAS" platform at $150–$200 per vehicle represents a tripling of revenue potential, establishing Mobileye as a software-centric platform provider rather than merely a component supplier. The technical foundation of this strategy rests on the EyeQ6H chip, a 7nm processor capable of handling data from 11 sensors, while deliberately excluding the more expensive LiDAR technology. This cost-conscious design enables hands-free highway driving up to 130 km/h for mass-market vehicles, consolidating multiple functions into a single ECU and simplifying automaker production. The company's proprietary Road Experience Management (REM™) technology, which crowdsources data from millions of vehicles to create high-definition maps, provides a substantial intellectual property moat against competitors like Tesla and Nvidia. Over-the-air update capabilities ensure the platform remains current throughout a vehicle's lifecycle. However, Mobileye faces significant headwinds that temper investor enthusiasm. With 3,000 of 4,300 employees based in Israel, geopolitical uncertainty affects valuation and operations, prompting a recent 5% workforce reduction of 200 employees. Competition from Chinese rivals like Huawei and Xpeng, who are developing in-house solutions, represents an existential threat to market share. The company characterizes 2025 as a "transition year" plagued by inventory challenges, but the massive order pipeline and improved revenue model position 2026 as potentially pivotal. Success hinges on flawless execution of product launches and the ability to maintain technological leadership while navigating both geopolitical tensions and intensifying competition in the autonomous driving space.
