Super Micro Computer's gross margin recovered from 6.3% to 17%, and it issued aggressive FY27 revenue guidance of $65-72B on strong AI server demand, but accounting credibility remains a key risk to monitor.

Moderna's growth story is reviving with flu vaccine (mRNA‑1010) FDA advisory committee unanimous approval, expansion into in‑vivo CAR‑T (mRNA‑6007), big pharma M&A validating the platform, and a breakout on the daily chart from a six-month base, making it an attractive turnaround play.

Western Digital has transformed into a pure-play AI data center HDD company after the Sandisk spin-off. HDD demand is growing 40-50% annually while supply increases only 30-35%, creating a severe shortage. Morgan Stanley upgraded WDC to $650, citing strong HDD pricing and margin improvement. The HDD oligopoly (WDC, Seagate, Toshiba) benefits from the same supply crunch dynamics as memory. Western Digital's cloud revenue now 89% of total, making it a leading AI storage play.

Hyperscaler capital expenditure growth is significantly outpacing estimates (67% actual vs. 19% estimated). Additionally, "Physical AI" (robotics, autonomous driving) is emerging as a new demand layer not yet priced in. The market views NVDA primarily as a data center stock, ignoring the "Physical AI" cycle (robots/cars needing silicon). As autonomous driving (e.g., Wayve) and robotics scale, NVDA's addressable market expands beyond just LLM training. LONG. 2026 will be a year of accelerating "beat and raise" cycles for NVDA. Supply chain constraints (sold out) or a faster-than-expected drop in software ROI.

Palantir reported strong Q2 2026 results: 93% revenue growth, US commercial up 149%, Rule of 40 hit 155, and large deals over $10M jumped 55%. The company's ontology and AIP platform create a deep moat as enterprises move AI into real decision-making. The sovereign AI trend, with Nvidia, further strengthens its position. Despite the stock falling from $207 to $106 earlier on valuation fear, valuation compressed to 91x forward P/E while growth accelerated and uncertainty fell, making current levels an attractive entry point.

The 321 crack spread has surged to new highs due to geopolitical disruptions (Ukraine drone attacks on Russian refineries, Middle East supply issues) and strong seasonal demand shifting to US refiners. US gasoline inventories are at 5-year lows and diesel margins are spiking. Valero (VLO) has higher sensitivity to refining margins (89% of EBIT from refining), making it a leveraged play on elevated crack spreads. Marathon Petroleum (MPC) has a more balanced mix with midstream (53% of EBIT), offering downside protection if margins turn. Both benefit from the current environment, but Valero offers stronger upside while Marathon is a more defensive alternative.

Cybersecurity spending is a top IT budget priority as enterprises reallocate funds from legacy software to security and AI, confirmed by IBM's CEO comments. CrowdStrike leads in endpoint security with a 95% subscription revenue model, strong data network effects, 26% revenue growth, and expanding margins. Its CANSLIM score of 66 outpaces Palo Alto (61.2), and on an EV/Sales-to-growth basis it is about 23% cheaper despite a higher headline multiple. The thesis is to accumulate CrowdStrike on pullbacks as it builds a unified security platform.
