Speaker confirms ongoing long position in $AEHR (semiconductor burn-in testing); points to his CPO testing article as the thesis supporting the trade and notes the market often offers re-entry opportunities.

Buy COHR as demand visibility is exceptional — 2026 sold out, 2027 nearly booked, 2028 orders starting, NVIDIA LTA through 2030 locks in pricing; revenue is now supply-constrained not demand-constrained, with margin expansion from 37% to 40% and eight growth engines including CPO and OCS.

LITE named as top pick, optical sector
Author names LITE as a top pick in response to a direct request for best ideas; no specific catalyst stated, but framed as an obvious bullish candidate in the optical/photonics space.

Buy MU on any post-earnings dip; stock is flying on high expectations and a pullback after the ER would be a buying opportunity in a still-bullish memory cycle.

Buy MRVL as the market has begun re-rating the stock — up nearly 2x in two months — and the speaker's analysis examines remaining upside in the re-rating process, implying the move is not yet complete.

Author explicitly endorses quoted thesis and confirms active buying on weakness; endorsed rationale cites real AI-buildout catalysts, improving revenue/backlog, and demand exceeding supply as reasons to accumulate across tranches.

Buy AMD as hyperscalers like Meta aggressively adopt AMD accelerators to reduce single-vendor Nvidia dependency; AMD's open ROCm ecosystem and full-stack CPU/GPU/DPU positioning allows it to absorb AI demand that Nvidia cannot fully supply.

Buy ASML on the 7%+ selloff; China's five domestic DUV units represent <4% of ASML's annual shipments, leaving its moat and EUV monopoly structurally intact — the market materially mispriced the competitive threat.

Buy BESI alongside ASML; author explicitly groups both as having minimal real exposure to China's domestic DUV development, implying any sympathy selloff is an overreaction and a buying opportunity.

Buy/hold DRAM ETF for increased exposure to Korean memory companies; author sees potential $SKHY launch as a long-term catalyst that could support further upside in DRAM rather than cannibalize it.

Co-mentioned alongside MU in a bullish memory basket; any MU-driven post-ER dip in memory names would drag SNDK lower and create a buying opportunity.

Buy CSCO as the author argues the market is beginning to re-rate the stock, likely tied to optical networking/AI infrastructure themes outlined in their prior research; reasoning is largely paywalled but the bullish stance is explicit and long-held.
