The “China will flood the world with HBM by 2028” thesis is missing the point.

China can scale manufacturing. But HBM isn’t commodity DRAM. It requires cutting-edge dies, vertical stacking, advanced packaging, exceptional yields and years of process expertise.

Yes, CXMT is making progress. But small-scale HBM3E production is a long way from competing with SK hynix, Samsung and Micron at scale. TSMC’s advanced-node leadership tells a similar story: capital alone cannot buy manufacturing expertise.

AI’s deepest moats may not belong to whoever builds the smartest model.

They may belong to those who manufacture the silicon (TSMC, MU, SK hynix) and deploy it at gigawatt scale (SPCX).

Intelligence is the product. Compute is the infrastructure. And the infrastructure has formidable moats.

👑 Micron is the darling princess of AI memory, and the market is acting like she’s going out of fashion. 😭💅

SSD prices up 42.5% QoQ while expectations were around 20%? And the memory supply squeeze is still here.

Buyers’ leverage: “But China might add capacity in 2028 🥺👉👈”

US memory makers: “Cute. Here’s another price hike.” 💀

$MU + $SNDK = THE POWER COUPLE OF AI MEMORY. 🤝🔥

Am I calling for an immediate rally? No.

Am I saying this drawdown looks ridiculously disconnected from the supply-demand reality? ABSOLUTELY.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a monster rally before year-end. 🚀📈

@Akshat_World Government and RBI is getting desperate to save rupee from long free fall and this will have severe consequences.

[Mithilesh Bele @mithilesh_bele]

@Akshat_World RBI is being caught in between protecting the Rupee & managing the economy, nothing seems to work.

@Akshat_World A Perfect message to all bears🤣, keep dreaming.

[Mithilesh Bele @mithilesh_bele]

The bond market may be sending Wall Street a warning that equities are ignoring.

CPI came in hot, yet the 10Y Treasury yield fell. Why?

Look at semis.

The AI boom is creating a massive demand for capital. Hyperscalers are issuing debt to finance data centers, GPUs and infrastructure, competing directly with Treasuries for investor capital.

As long as AI capex accelerates, corporate borrowing needs rise, potentially pushing long-term yields higher.

But when semis sell off, markets may start pricing in slower capex, weaker credit demand and less competition for Treasury capital.

That could explain why yields are falling even as inflation surprises to the upside.

The real risk? If the AI trade keeps accelerating, yields could climb toward 5–6%, tightening financial conditions enough to threaten the very valuations driving the boom.

The paradox: AI stocks may need to fall to give the bond market relief.

This is a hypothesis, not a proven causal relationship. But in a market where inflation, Treasury supply and AI-driven capital expenditure collide, watching CPI alone may no longer be enough.

India’s rupee defence is becoming increasingly expensive.

From $133B in diaspora deposits to FX restrictions, the RBI is fighting symptoms rather than fundamentals.

Rising US yields, elevated crude prices & narrowing yield differentials demand more than intervention.

2013 offers a lesson: credibility is the ultimate currency defence.

The market is pricing $MU like a dying cyclical business while Micron is delivering one of the most extraordinary financial turnarounds in semiconductor history.

At this pace, Micron could be among the fastest-growing mega-cap companies in the world.

Look at the numbers.

Revenue: FY2023 → FY2024 → FY2025 → FY2026

$15.5B → $25.1B → $37.4B → $133.2B

GAAP net income:

-$5.83B → $0.78B → $8.54B → ~$85B

Non-GAAP EPS:

FY2024: $1.30
FY2025: $8.29
FY2026: $75.52
Revenue grew more than 3.5x in a single year and more than 5x in two years.
Micron went from a brutal memory downturn to generating nearly $85B in annual net income.

That's not ordinary growth. That's an extraordinary earnings transformation.

Now look at what comes next:

• $61.5B in guided quarterly revenue.
• $38.15 in guided quarterly EPS.
• $33.2B in quarterly adjusted free cash flow.
• $62.3B in adjusted free cash flow for FY2026.
• $73.5B in cash and investments.
• Approximately $150B in committed customer revenue at minimum prices.
• More than 75% of 2027 output already committed.

And yet, at roughly $985, $MU trades at approximately 5.6x FY2027 consensus EPS of $176.

Read that again.

The market's biggest objection? Memory is cyclical.

Absolutely. FY2023 proves it.

But this cycle has a different setup: AI infrastructure spending, exploding HBM demand, multi-year customer agreements, pricing frameworks and fabrication capacity that takes years to build.

Micron's customers aren't simply placing speculative orders. Strategic agreements include committed volumes, take-or-pay provisions and customer deposits.

Meanwhile, $NVDA, $LRCX and $AMAT command substantially higher earnings multiples.

The question isn't whether Micron will ever experience another downturn.

The question is whether the market is underestimating the duration of this cycle and the earnings power Micron can sustain.

If supply remains constrained through 2027–2028 while AI demand continues to expand, today's earnings base may prove more durable than the market expects.

Of course, margins above 80% are extraordinary, competition remains a risk, and earnings could eventually normalize. A low P/E alone doesn't guarantee a bargain.

But when a company is growing revenue at this scale, generating enormous cash flow and securing future demand, valuing it as though the current cycle is about to collapse deserves serious scrutiny.

Sometimes the biggest opportunity isn't finding a great business.

It's finding a great business the market still refuses to value correctly.

The Rupee’s problem runs deeper than speculators.

We’ve already lost $43 billion of the $143 billion borrowed under the RBI’s guarantee to defend the currency.

Last year’s OMOs to suppress borrowing costs may also have contributed to today’s pressures. Broad money is near 90% of GDP, while the RBI’s balance sheet has expanded substantially.

Now, the 10-year G-Sec yield is rising despite RBI intervention. We risk undoing years of hard-won stability in long-term borrowing costs.

Blaming speculators and deploying short-term fixes won’t address the underlying macroeconomic imbalances.

You cannot indefinitely defend a currency, suppress yields and maintain near-zero real interest rates while the rest of the world offers positive real returns.

The longer policymakers delay the necessary adjustments, the more painful they could become.

BREAKING: RBI finally moves aggressively to defend the Rupee.

I’ve been saying since last week’s RBI policy that India’s currency problem cannot be ignored. Now, the RBI is acting directly on the sources of dollar demand and speculative positioning.

Here’s what changes:

1. Oil companies: RBI will supply the full daily dollar requirements of IOC, HPCL & BPCL through designated banks from Oct 12, reducing their direct demand in the spot market.

2. Higher costs for banks: Certain INR derivative positions above $2 million will require a 20% cash reserve with the RBI, making these trades more expensive.

3. Speculative limits slashed: The limit for FX derivative positions without an underlying exposure falls from $100 million to $5 million across OTC and exchange-traded markets.

4. No repeated re-entry: Traders can no longer cancel and re-enter the same Rupee FX contract. Normal rollovers at maturity remain permitted.

5. No double hedging: Participants must certify that the same underlying exposure hasn’t been hedged elsewhere.

My take: This is more than a routine intervention. The RBI is targeting dollar demand, leverage and the structures that can amplify pressure on the Rupee.

But let’s be clear: these measures can ease immediate pressure; they cannot permanently fix the underlying problem.

As long as foreign capital outflows, the dollar’s strength and India’s external financing needs remain challenging, defending the Rupee will require difficult trade-offs.

The RBI has stepped in. The bigger question is how long it can manage the pressure without hurting domestic growth.

One of the most underrated forms of self-improvement is changing your environment.

You start thinking differently when you’re surrounded by people who challenge your limits, normalize ambition, and make growth feel natural.

Sometimes, the next level of your life requires a different circle, not a different strategy.

[Mithilesh Bele @mithilesh_bele]

@RajaBanks Wow! This sort of thinking is all we need.

The problem with India is that we often confuse protecting Indian businesses with protecting Indian consumers.

We talk about self-reliance, but much of the technology we use daily comes from companies abroad.

True self-reliance means building companies that can compete globally, not shielding incumbents from competition.

Let consumers decide who offers the better service. Competition should never be the enemy.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Dear Prime Minister Ambani,

Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.

Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?

There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.

Thank you 🙏
