Summary

Curator Park Myung-suk reviews Q2 market performance, highlighting a 14% S&P 500 and 20% Nasdaq surge driven by semiconductors and AI infrastructure. He sees the AI cycle continuing with supply shortages spreading, supports overweighting US equities over Korea, and identifies positive catalysts in Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Tesla, robotics, space, and Bloom Energy. Bitcoin and crypto face outflows and rating pressure, and macro risks include yen carry trades and AI-fueled debt.

  • US indices had their best Q2 since 2020, led by semiconductors and AI hardware.
  • Semiconductor and AI infrastructure boom is not at its peak, with supply bottlenecks shifting to smaller components.
  • Nvidia's H2 outlook brightens with HBM4 easing and Rubin platform; AMD and Broadcom also get target upgrades.
  • Tesla benefits from delivery expectations and robotaxi event hype, reinforcing its physical AI narrative.
  • Robotics ETFs surge; Ouster gets a US lidar requirement catalyst; Rocket Lab upgraded on space momentum.
  • Alphabet and Amazon attract buy calls on AI strategic moves and AWS expansion.
  • Bloom Energy skyrockets after Brookfield expands investment to $25 billion.
  • Bitcoin suffers ETF outflows and $45k forecasts, while yen weakness and AI debt raise macro risks.
Ideas
Bloom Energy surges on $25B investment.
Bloom Energy skyrocketed after Brookfield expanded its investment commitment to as much as $25 billion, indicating major institutional backing and scaling potential.
Overweight US equities in H2.
The US macro environment is more favorable than Korea's; Korean market faces pension fund selling and high difficulty, while US equity difficulty has eased. Overweight US equities in the second half for better risk/reward.
Tesla deliveries and robotaxi drive upside.
Tesla's Q2 delivery data looks better year-on-year, and the upcoming Cybercab influencer event on July 7th fuels robotaxi expectations, reinforcing its physical AI leader position.
Ouster gains on US lidar requirements.
Ouster's lidar products now meet US government purchase requirements, triggering two-day surges and signaling that the market is starting to price in robotics-related lidar demand.
Avoid Bitcoin amid outflows and risks.
Bitcoin is in a tough spot: eight consecutive days of ETF outflows, rate hike fears push it out of favor, and price targets as low as $45,000. The crypto sector is under a dark cloud.
Semiconductor rally continues on AI demand.
Semiconductor and AI infrastructure cycle is not at peak; supply shortages are spreading to small component makers, and AI-related capex will drive 60% of S&P 500 Q2 earnings. Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is in strong uptrend.
Nvidia H2 growth driven by Rubin.
Nvidia's H2 growth expected as HBM4 supply constraints ease and the new Rubin platform accelerates revenue. SemiAnalysis sees Nvidia leveling up earnings power.
AMD benefits from CPU/server demand.
Wells Fargo is positive on AMD due to strong CPU and server demand, and the market may reward the CPU bottleneck theme again this quarter with target price increases.
Broadcom TPU and XPU drive growth.
Broadcom's TPU roadmap is on track, OpenAI's new XPU chip adds a major customer, and analysts raised target prices despite earlier concerns, keeping the growth story intact.
Alphabet strategic buy after pullback.
Morgan Stanley set a $415 target on Alphabet, calling the recent sell-off a strategic buy opportunity in a top AI franchise ahead of earnings.
Amazon AWS AI expansion boosts growth.
Amazon is expanding AWS engineering to deploy AI agents at clients, BofA sees the AWS price increase positively, and the new automated fulfillment center in Poland highlights robotics demand.
Rocket Lab space stock with catalysts.
Rocket Lab is receiving positive catalysts: a Needham upgrade to $120, a recent acquisition, and Blue Origin's planned resumption of launches improving space sentiment.
Robotics ETF to gain on automation.
The robotics sector is a key H2 theme; the Roundhill Humanoid Robotics ETF surged, supported by Nvidia expanding its China robot team and Amazon opening a fully automated center, signaling sustained demand.
