Trade Ideas
Rene Haas CEO, Arm 11:56
Arm's AI chip revenue to hit $15B sooner
Arm's revenue from chip subsystems and custom chips is on track to hit $15 billion by the end of the decade, and demand is stronger than anticipated, so the company may hit that target sooner. The growth is driven by AI demand for power-efficient technology and a product that offers twice the performance of x86 at the same power.
Seema Shah Chief Global Strategist, Principal Asset Management 28:37
Oil to stay above $80 through year-end
Even with a resolution to the Iran conflict and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices will remain elevated above $80 a barrel through the end of the year due to infrastructure damage and supply-side constraints, unless significant demand destruction occurs.

HPE benefits from AI inference server demand
HP Enterprise's annual revenue guidance far exceeded expectations (31% growth vs ~19% consensus) and the company guided for at least 10% growth in 2027, reflecting enduring demand for CPU-based AI inference servers as enterprises deploy AI beyond training. The shift from GPU-heavy training to CPU-based inference creates a large growth opportunity for HPE.
