The catch: ~144x trailing earnings, ~50x forward.

This is priced for a lot of continued AI growth — not cheap, not a value stock.

Trillion-dollar club is now Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft, AMD (+ a few others). Rare air.

$AMD just crossed $1 trillion market cap. 🚨

Stock at $609, up huge today, joining the trillion-dollar club alongside Nvidia and Apple.

From near-bankruptcy under Lisa Su a decade ago to this.

Here's what got it here 👇

The AI story: Data center revenue +107% YoY last quarter, now 58% of total revenue. Helios (new AI server platform) is ramping, and management says demand for both CPUs and GPUs is outpacing supply.

Next earnings: Nov 3.

[Moneta Compass @MonetaCompass]

The real question: is this a multi-year NAND supply shortage (bulls' case) or a chip-cycle peak getting priced like it's permanent (bears' case)?

Nov 5 earnings — and especially the NEXT guide — will say a lot.

$SNDK 🧵
SanDisk has beaten earnings estimates 4 quarters straight, by an average of ~381%. Stock is up ~570%+ over the past year on an AI-driven NAND flash shortage.

Next earnings: Nov 5. Here's the full picture 👇

[Moneta Compass @MonetaCompass]

The bigger picture:
• Up ~570%+ over 12mo, but down ~20% month-to-date (profit-taking/rotation out of chip names)

• Forward PEG: 0.11 — historically cheap, or a sign of deep skepticism this growth holds

• Bernstein just raised PT to $3,000 from $1,700

The risk:

Nokia is reportedly retreating from most of mainland China, losing share to domestic competitors — a real structural headwind, not noise.

At P/E ~75, the AI story has to keep delivering. Little room for disappointment.

$NOK 🧵

Nokia just expanded its partnership with Microsoft — stock popped ~4% on the news. This isn't the sleepy phone company anymore. It's repositioning as an AI/data-center infrastructure play.

Here's what's actually happening 👇

[Moneta Compass @MonetaCompass]

The numbers:

Price: ~$10.50
P/E: ~75 (richly valued)
AI/cloud revenue: +105% YoY to €446M last quarter
Dividend yield: ~1.7%
Cash on hand: ~$6.8B

Rosenblatt just initiated coverage: Buy, $15 price target.

[Moneta Compass @MonetaCompass]

Catalyst: Q2 earnings Sept 24. Consensus ~$0.04 EPS, ~$143M revenue.

Risk: P/E ~80 means a lot of growth is already priced in. Little room for disappointment.

$BB research thread 🧵
BlackBerry isn't a phone company anymore. It's quietly become a QNX embedded-software + government secure-comms business riding two real growth waves: automotive/industrial AI and government security spend.
Up ~100% YTD.
Let's look at the actual numbers 👇

[Moneta Compass @MonetaCompass]

The valuation reality:
• Price: ~$7.80

• Market cap: ~$4.5-6B (mid-cap)

• P/E: ~80 — this is priced as a growth stock, not a value play

• Consensus expects ~10% YoY revenue growth this quarter

• Analyst ratings are genuinely mixed — split between buy and hold

⚠️ One important distinction:

The VIX measures expected volatility, not market direction.

A high VIX doesn't automatically mean stocks will fall.

It means options prices reflect expectations of larger S&P 500 moves.

What is volatility?

And what does the VIX actually tell investors?

They're related, but they're not the same thing.

Let's break it down simply. 🧵👇

[Moneta Compass @MonetaCompass]

🔎 How do investors interpret the VIX?

Generally:

VIX ↑ = expected volatility ↑
VIX ↓ = expected volatility ↓
A rising VIX can indicate that investors expect larger potential market moves.

But it doesn't tell you whether the market will go up or down.
