Ideas
Ed Ludlow Co-Host, Bloomberg Technology 25:18
AI memory demand outstrips supply
SK hynix holds 60% market share in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips critical for AI data centers. AI-driven demand is linear and supply may never catch up, despite massive expansion plans, positioning the company for sustained growth. The record US IPO and ADR listing reflect strong investor appetite.

Wayfair stores grow customer base
Wayfair's new physical stores attract 50% new customers and drive market share growth in the $500 billion home goods market where the company currently holds only 2.3%. The stores generate positive cash-on-cash returns and a halo effect on online sales.
Daryl Caudle Chief of Naval Operations 74:49
RTX ramping missile output
Raytheon (RTX) is heavily investing in production, moving to multiple shifts and overcoming solid rocket motor constraints. The company will benefit from rising demand for Standard Missiles and torpedoes, with the production curve set to increase significantly.
