Memory chip prices are hiking aggressively. Cisco explicitly cited "mounting memory chip costs" as the reason for their margin squeeze and weak profit forecast. One company's expense is another's revenue. The pricing power has shifted entirely to the component suppliers. While Cisco suffers margin compression, the memory producers are seeing direct margin expansion. LONG Memory Manufacturers. Sudden drop in hyperscaler demand or oversupply later in the cycle. |

With crypto volumes cooling and prices volatile, the earnings engine is sputtering despite stock price run-up over the last year. SHORT. Valuation has detached from the reality of slowing transaction volumes. A sudden resurgence in retail crypto mania or meme stock activity. |

Ford expects profits to jump this year despite a $900M tariff hit in 2025. They are increasing CapEx to $10.5B. Management is signaling confidence in pricing power and demand for high-margin SUVs/Trucks (F-Series) to offset tariff headwinds. The "profit jump" guidance contradicts the bearish narrative around legacy auto. LONG. Contrarian play on legacy auto resilience. Labor costs, EV division losses, or escalating trade wars. |
