  • @amitisinvesting: A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY. Here's a full recap: 1. SpaceX $SPCX is reportedly seeking $40B in financing, led by Apollo, to fund a massive purchase of NVIDIA $NVDA AI chips, according to the Financial Times. The proposed financing includes roughly $10B in bank loans and $30B of investment-grade debt, with the transaction expected to close in 2027. Elon Musk said in August that SpaceX had “decided to build exclusively on NVIDIA,” specifically highlighting the company's Vera Rubin architecture as SpaceX accelerates investment in AI compute and data center infrastructure. 2. AMD $AMD CEO Lisa Su said AI compute demand continues to outpace supply and expects strong demand to persist for the next several years, with AMD planning to substantially increase supply in 2027. Su said AMD has already expanded supply this year but “could definitely use more,” thanking TSMC for bringing additional manufacturing capacity online while noting that memory remains broadly supply constrained. She added that AMD is working closely with memory suppliers and customers to ensure capacity ramps in sync while keeping its current business model unchanged. Su also described Taiwan as “very critical” to AMD, saying the company plans to increase its investment there while continuing to explore new packaging technologies. 3. Uber $UBER is acquiring ezCater for $2.3B in cash, expanding Uber Eats into the workplace catering market. ezCater has more than 140,000 restaurant partners

$MU $SNDK Are the CXMT memory optimization headlines a real threat to the memory trade or is it just another architecture that will lead to more usage of tokens which will make up for pricing power in volumes? The memory trade, like the semis in general, has been fragile enough for these headlines to affect them almost every week. We saw this last week with the HDD manufacturing capacity increase by Toshiba that took $STX and $WDC down 20%. At some point, the street either is going to believe these names are undervalued relative to their growth or they are going to give up on trying to be optimistic when a new headline around memory efficiency comes out every other week and reminds them about how traditionally cyclical the business is.

📺 THE STOCK MARKET IS HIDING SOMETHING – BE CAUTIOUS THIS WEEK + BANK EARNINGS + SEMIS FLASH WARNING SIGNS + $META BULLISH REVERSAL SETUP + $SPCX & $TSLA UPDATES $SPY is hovering near all-time highs, but beneath the surface, the market is telling a very different story. The average momentum stock is down roughly 55% YTD, while the average S&P 500 constituent has declined approximately 17%. Market breadth remains weak, semiconductor leadership is deteriorating, and the divergence between the major indices and individual stocks is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Still, the market hasn't confirmed a breakdown. With $JPM and $GS earnings approaching alongside PPI and CPI inflation data, this could be a pivotal week. * Despite recent volatility, $SPY remains constructive as long as it holds the $773–$775 support zone, which aligns with Friday's low and the 8-day moving average. A move above $779 and $781 could open the door to another upside breakout. Losing support would raise concerns about a deeper correction. $QQQ has been sloppier than SPY, but its inverted head-and-shoulders formation remains valid above $743. Holding above $748 would support the bullish consolidation scenario. A break below $743 would suggest a failed breakout. * Bank earnings could set the tone this week. $JPM is approaching earnings near its 200-day moving average around $325. With expectations reduced following the selloff, better-than-feared results could spark a relief rally. $
