[US-AI반도체] 09/07 Wall St. Recap

As a senior equity analyst, I evaluate NVIDIA’s (NVDA) recent performance and strategic updates as a strong bullish catalyst. The company has demonstrated exceptional financial health, highlighted by 13 consecutive quarters of record-breaking results, driven by booming demand for its (AI computing platforms). Furthermore, robust forward-looking guidance—projecting significant revenue growth—along with strategic partnership expansions, reinforces its dominant market position and pricing power in the semiconductor and artificial intelligence sectors.

As a senior equity analyst, I evaluate the recent news flow surrounding **AMD** as strategically favorable for its long-term growth in the artificial intelligence sector.

The introduction of high-performance workstations capable of running (1-trillion parameter AI models) [0], alongside the rollout of (ROCM 10) delivering up to a 3.3x performance boost [1], demonstrates AMD’s accelerating software and hardware capabilities. Furthermore, as the market shifts toward the (Agentic AI era), AMD’s aggressive push in AI-driven CPU computing [2] and enterprise infrastructure support [3] strengthens its competitive positioning against key rivals. Collaborations such as the AI computer donation to KAIST [4] also help secure future developer ecosystems. These developments indicate robust execution in capturing high-margin enterprise AI demand.

As a senior equity analyst, I evaluate the recent news surrounding Broadcom ((AVGO)) as highly constructive for its long-term valuation. The primary driver behind this positive outlook is the robust acceleration in (AI revenue growth), which has successfully propelled its semiconductor business weight past the critical (80% threshold). Despite recent short-term (stock price consolidation), Broadcom’s fundamental profitability in AI chips has actually strengthened, positioning the company for a major (valuation re-rating) amid explosive quarterly revenue expectations.

As a senior equity analyst, the recent strategic partnership between (Samsung Electronics) and (Arm) to jointly develop next-generation (on-device AI chips) utilizing the cutting-edge (2nm process) represents a major catalyst. This collaboration not only solidifies Arm’s dominant position in the mobile and AI semiconductor ecosystem but also provides a critical battleground for Samsung to challenge (TSMC) in foundry yields. Coupled with management’s openness to large-scale (M&A) backed by SoftBank, Arm’s growth trajectory and valuation support remain highly compelling.

As a senior equity analyst, I evaluate the recent news regarding ASML. While the company is actively expanding its local workforce with a large-scale (triple-digit recruitment) drive in South Korea to support growing operations, this is balanced by intensifying geopolitical headwinds, notably the (US export controls) extending further into DUV lithography systems. Overall, strong operational scaling is tempered by regulatory and supply chain uncertainties regarding China.
