In case you missed it... This just happened: "Samsung increases NAND prices by 100%"

Estimates were 33-38% Q/Q growth - Trendforce This is an absolute shock. It's called the "Memory Supercycle" for a reason with $MU, Samsung, and SK Hynix + $SNDK. In simpler terms: That extra 65% increase (from 35% to 100%) is pure, added high-margin profit. If $MU guided for 68.0% gross margins Q2 2026, and we see a 100% NAND hike from 33-38% est, that could bring gross margin projections over 73-75%+. This is a blowout.

CoreWeave Behind the AI Hype, a Debt-Fueled Illusion

Nvidia is investing $2B in CoreWeave, deepening a partnership central to AI infrastructure expansion. CoreWeave plans to build over 5 GW of AI data centers by 2030 using Nvidia’s next-gen platforms. However, despite the hype, CoreWeave’s financials raise serious concerns: the company is losing money on every dollar of revenue, carries a massive working-capital deficit, holds over $10B in long-term debt, and relies on rapidly depreciating GPU assets. Facing weak demand, CoreWeave is increasingly using “compute-for-equity” deals—trading GPU capacity for startup equity at inflated valuations—effectively acting like an AI venture capitalist rather than a stable infrastructure provider. The business model depends on continued access to debt markets; if funding dries up, risks fall heavily on retail investors while early institutional players are likely already exiting.
