Ideas

Christian Bruch CEO, Siemens Energy 24:38

Strong gas turbine demand drives record orders

Strong demand for gas turbines and grid equipment is pushing profit margin to the upper end of guidance. Only 20% of gas turbine orders this year are AI-related, highlighting broad global electricity demand. Record orders, no cancellations, and careful capacity expansion provide confidence in long-term profitable growth.

Sven Schneider CFO, Infineon 32:44

AI chip demand and auto recovery boost growth

Infineon forecast a much stronger than seasonal quarter, with 13% sequential and 19% year-over-year revenue growth, driving margins up 400bps. AI data center revenue is doubling this year to over €1.6B and expected to exceed €2.5B next year. Automotive is also recovering, with content per car rising, low inventories restocking, and market share gains in microcontrollers.

Semiconductors direct beneficiaries of AI capex

While AI capex concerns persist, some areas like Palantir show monetization, and data justifies spending. Semiconductors are the most direct beneficiaries of higher AI capex, and the AI trend remains structurally strong with pockets of gains even if not a straight line higher.

Charu Chan Crypto Analyst, CoinDesk 42:29

KOSPI sideways with memory cycle peak risk

The KOSPI washed out leveraged bets and found some stability, but it is a two-company memory story facing a cyclical peak because supply is catching up and U.S. hyperscalers may be more measured on capex. The outlook is sideways to slightly higher, without the massive upswing seen earlier.

Yen weakness persists, intervention only temporary

Coordinated intervention in the yen bought time but cannot reverse fundamental pressure. BOJ rate hikes remain very slow, high debt and fiscal spending weigh, and unless there is more commitment on the fundamental side, yen weakness is likely to continue.
