Summary
Post discusses the recent hyperbolic rally in semiconductor and memory companies, driven by massive hyperscaler capex (e.g., Alphabet’s $80B raise).
Author questions whether these stocks remain undervalued if demand continues, suggesting the run could persist.
Quality assessment: Speculation – no quantitative data or specific company analysis, just a high-level thesis.

They've had a hyperbolic move upward, not just the large players but essentially every company in both of these categories, regardless of country. Now the hyperscalers spending 700 billion + on capex for data center infrastructure is effectively the lifeline for these companies. Alphabet this week announced an 80 billion raising round, and possibly the other mag7 follow suit in various forms. Many of them are moving towards negative net debt, unheard of from a few years ago where they were deep in cash and effectively no debt, leading to pristine balance sheets. If they continue to invest into these data centers in order to further entrench moats, if the demand continues to keep up, wouldn't this mean the semiconductors and memory companies are actually undervalued, thus they could continue the hyperbolic runs?
Hyperscalers (Mag7) are raising billions for data center capex, creating sustained demand for semiconductors and memory. If capex continues and companies maintain pristine balance sheets, current valuations may still be justified, supporting further upside. Bullish on semiconductor sector as a proxy for continued infrastructure spending. Capex slowdown, demand saturation, or macroeconomic headwinds could reverse the trend.
