Ideas

Samsung memory boom unsustainable multiples compress
Samsung's 19-fold profit surge driven by extremely high memory margins (~80%) is unsustainable due to massive capacity expansions, potential demand slowdown, and rising competition from companies like Google, SpaceX, and AMD, causing the market to assign low multiples and suggesting the stock could decline further.

Underwater defense growth boosts Fincantieri
Underwater defense is a severely underestimated and fast-growing frontier, driven by threats to submarine cables, pipelines, and energy infrastructure; Fincantieri is investing in underwater drones and telecommunications to capture this demand as European governments ramp up defense spending.
