Here are some of the most prominent themes that our team is focusing on:
Semi parts:
$ACLS
$AMAT
$KLAC
$LRCX
This WFE (Wafer Fab Equipment) selection is top-tier. No matter who wins the AI chip race, if foundries expand, they must pay tolls to these four titans. They are the ultimate shovel-sellers of this macro cycle:
$AMAT,
$LRCX, and
$KLAC. Lam Research (
$LRCX) just delivered a stellar earnings beat, driven by dense AI etch and deposition demand. Applied Materials (
$AMAT) commands massive pricing power in advanced nodes, while KLA Corp (
$KLAC) maintains an unassailable high-margin monopoly in process control and metrology.
Ion implantation leader
$ACLS (Axcelis) has seen explosive right-side momentum, defying the tape to hit fresh 52-week highs this June due to trailing-node and power-semi demand. The premium is elevated, but the torque is real.
This macro pullback resets these premium tech compounders back to critical Fibonacci technical support levels.
