Summary

Park Myung-suk reviews a strong US session in which the S&P 500 and Dow hit records, Nasdaq approached its high, and cooling PPI/CPI data eased rate-hike fears. The main single-stock story was SanDisk's investor day, which drove a 13-14% surge on long-term agreement stability, 100% free-cash-flow shareholder returns, and its HBF product roadmap. He also covers broadening AI participation in software, CPU and server names, Netflix, and geopolitical and macro risks.

  • US indices rallied, with the S&P 500 and Dow at records and Nasdaq near its record high.
  • PPI and jobless claims reduced rate-hike anxiety, and some see the Fed holding rates for longer.
  • SanDisk surged after investor day disclosures on flash growth, LTA margin stability, 100% FCF return, and HBF.
  • AI strength broadened into software: Palantir, Salesforce, Adobe, Workday, and IGV participated.
  • BofA expects AI agents to lift CPU demand and prefers AMD and Nvidia.
  • Server and PC names Lenovo, Dell, and HP rallied on the AI agent era narrative.
  • Pershing Square rebuilt a Netflix stake on OTT dominance and improving profitability.
  • Applied Materials posted decent results but fell, creating a watch setup for semis equipment.
Ideas
Park Myung-seok Curator 2:01
S&P 500 uptrend broadening, Citi target
The S&P 500's record high is supported by broadening market participation, with more than 80% of tech names above their 200-day averages, and Citi sees the index reaching 8,100 because AI provides a valuation floor, earnings growth is accelerating, and margins are expanding. Nasdaq is also near its own record as semiconductors strengthen.

SanDisk LTA, shareholder return, HBF bullish
SanDisk's investor day resolved major memory concerns: flash memory market growth is projected to continue into 2026-2027, long-term agreements with escalating base pricing and customer prepayments lock in stable margins, management plans to return 100% of free cash flow to shareholders, and the new HBF product could become a memory-centric AI standard that reduces GPU requirements. Park said the disclosures justified the 13-14% surge and supported further confidence in the stock.
SNDK HIGH

Software joins AI rally, further upside
Software names are participating in the AI rally instead of rotating down when hardware works. Palantir, Salesforce and Adobe rose, IGV is back at prior highs, JPMorgan upgraded Salesforce as too undervalued despite SaaS concerns, Akamai recovered, Workday jumped on the Silver Lake acquisition, and Palantir kept rising after earnings. This broadening software strength is leading S&P 500 upside and supports continued software exposure.

AMAT good results but stock down
Applied Materials reported results that were not bad, but the stock still fell in regular and after-hours trading with no clear explanation. Park flagged the setup as uneven for semiconductor equipment names and said to watch how the stock trades in the next regular session for a clearer signal.
AMAT MED

AI agents lift CPU demand, AMD/NVDA
Bank of America expects AI agents to drive a surge in CPU demand as compute ratios shift, and names AMD and Nvidia as its top picks across the industry. Nvidia is also expanding its CPU efforts, so the AI-era CPU narrative should be confirmed with upcoming results.
NVDA AMD MED

AI agent era lifts server/PC OEMs
Server and PC hardware names remain at the center of the AI agent narrative. Lenovo surged about 20% in Hong Kong after its strongest results since 2009, Dell hit an all-time high, and HP also rose, showing AI-era server and CPU demand is still driving these OEMs despite valuation concerns.
DELL HPQ 0992.HK MED

Netflix dominates OTT, Ackman bought stake
Bill Ackman's Pershing Square rebuilt a 4.9% stake in Netflix worth about $240 million because Netflix is executing well, dominating other OTT platforms, and improving profitability. The stock has lagged because it lacks AI, creating a potential re-rating opportunity if Ackman's call gains traction.
