AMD's 324% Rally Hides A Serious Risk Nobody's Talking About

Summary Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. remains a Strong Buy, with recent growth and margin expansion validating last year’s bullish thesis. AMD’s valuation appears rich at a 99x forward P/E, but is justified by robust earnings growth and a PEG ratio of 1.51x. Aggressive server CPU TAM guidance (>35% CAGR to $120B by 2030) and first-mover advantage with TSMC’s 2nm Venice chip underpin AMD’s upside. Key risks include potential supply chain disruptions—especially helium shortages—and execution on supply commitments amid sector-wide volatility. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Why I'm Not Chasing AXT Despite Being The Best AI Substrate Story In The Market

Summary AXT's indium phosphide substrate is genuine critical AI infrastructure, with a confirmed $100M backlog and funded capacity doubling — the demand thesis is real. Revenue is gated not by customer demand but by Chinese export permits; Q4 2025 proved one permit drought can erase an entire quarter with no operational failure. At 27x EV/NTM revenue versus a peer median of ~10x, the bull case only returns +16% while the base case implies -34% and the bear case of -77% — is asymmetrical. Rating is hold: the story works, the price doesn't; the setup gets interesting below $60. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
