@jukan05 · 请求账号 @jukan05 · 2026-08-12 23:56:22 UTC · 原创原帖：SK Securities: Memory Revaluation Stemming from a Shift in the Perception of Compute Perception of compute: from consumable to asset AI compute is not a consumable. Rather than a technology good whose value erodes quickly, it could become an infrastructure asset that is redeployed across generations and generates recurring cash flows. From this perspective, AI CapEx is not simply a recurring cost but a process of accumulating a compute stock that can be monetized multiple times going forward. CoreWeave's recent earnings release shows this possibility. Even A100 based resources, six years past launch, are being signed into long term contracts running through 2029, and prices for older GPUs are also holding at meaningful levels. This does not have to be read purely as a supply shortage. Customers choose the cost relative to the performance their workload requires, not the fastest GPU. The newest GPUs handle frontier training and high performance inference, while existing H100/A100 can shift to general inference, fine tuning, batch workloads and the like. This is the concept of compute tiering, analogous to memory tiering. Once the perception of compute changes, the lens through which the expansion of AI infrastructure finance is viewed also changes. If AI infrastructure such as GPUs can generate revenue repeatedly through recontracting after the initial contract ends, it becomes a financeable infrastructure asset rather than simply a piece of electronic equipment. BEP within three years, and the period after that may be the real profit zone The same logic can apply to hyperscaler FCF. Amazon stated that its investments in servers and networking equipment reach BEP on average in less than three years. This means that if the economic life of compute assets including GPUs extends beyond three years, the subsequent period of use may be not simple principal recovery but a zone that generates additional profit. Revenue from new GPUs and second life revenue from the existing compute stock would occur at the same time. If, as with the A100, assets remain applicable into their ninth year, it means a considerable, highly profitable excess return zone opens up between the payback period the market worries about and the actual economic life. The change in memory's status is a structural phenomenon. A change that has to be accepted Once the perception of AI CapEx changes, it is entirely natural that memory's status changes. AI is an asset heavy industry, and physical supply capacity constraints in the real world are not something that can be changed. The reason five year LTAs with high binding force have been signed also becomes clear. Memory has a material impact on the customer's "true" profit zone. If memory does not make money, meeting demand will remain out of reach, volumes will not be secured while memory prices alone rise, and the future revenue curve will be revised downward. Memory making a lot of money is structural, and it is a change that has to be accepted. Inflection point in the change of memory valuation metrics: shareholder returns strengthen in earnest through greater earnings durability and visibility SK Securities maintains its Overweight view on memory. We focus on memory's structurally enhanced earnings power and on the shareholder returns that will begin in earnest, driven by greater durability based on a long cycle. Combined estimated operating profit for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix is KRW 641tn in 2026 and KRW 977tn in 2027, among the highest globally, and aggressive shareholder returns are expected to be the key foundation for building confidence in the long cycle and for memory's revaluation. We are wary of peak out logic based on the inevitable slowdown in the rate of memory price increases. This is now an era in which the strength of the cycle is absorbed not only through "price" but also through "durability and visibility."↗

But TLDR of $COHR earnings: "given the demand that we see in our DC business with transceivers, I don’t see any time in the near future where we would be selling indium phosphide lasers externally" - Ton more value placed on companies that sell InP lasers externally if $AAOI can't doesn't enough capacity for first gen-CPO deployments, $COHR not selling externally... I guess that's why $MTSI said a ton of customers are approaching them with urgency for InP CW DFB lasers (and they dont even have meaningful capacity coming online until EOY 2027) $AAOI -> Internal
$COHR -> Internal
Buyers -> fewer places to look for capacity. "Our backlog now extends out, fiscal 2027 is basically completely booked out. We are booked really through the end of calendar 2027" [ Massive massive demand visibility] - Coherent also mentioned LTAs spanning end of decade. So this kinda reinforces what $POET CEO said at their AGM that the "big 3" are fully sold out next 2 years. "we’re not constrained in the assembly and test capacity right now. We’re really just constrained by the ramp of the indium phosphide production" - Just for the bottleneck bros in terms of assembly/test not a bottleneck. "absolutely no push-out of CPO demand. In fact, it has been the opposite. We have seen demand increase and request from customers’ demand getting pulled in" "we continue to expect revenue from CPO for scale-up applications to start to flow in the second half of calendar 2027" - Big read through on other CPO players for scale up if $LITE, $COHR reaffirm revenue from CPO scale up coming h2027. - "quarterly revenue exceeding $3 billion by the end of fiscal 2027" - $COHR revenue go brrr So for regular numbers it's: - $2.046B revenue (+13.3% Q/Q, +33.8% Y/Y), main revenue ramp looks to be happening entering Q4 into 2027
- Non-GAAP gross margins: 40.2% Next quarter guide is:
- Revenue: $2.2–$2.4B revenue
- Non-GAAP gross margins: 39.5-41.5% Basically:
$1.69B -> $1.81B -> $2.05B -> ~$2.30B -> $3.0B (end of FY 2027) ~39% -> 39.6% -> 40.2% -> ~40.5% (gross margins) For operating margins:
18.0% -> 19.5% -> 19.9% -> 20.3% -> 21.8% Little less impressed compared to $LITE margin growth in terms of profitability, but revenue scale for $COHR growing rapidly.↗

@jukan05 · 请求账号 @jukan05 · 2026-08-12 15:10:44 UTC · 原创原帖：【Tianfeng Securities Overseas Tech】 After reviewing all the various AI related earnings, we believe the AI bull market is returning on the back of strong fundamentals One very clear trend is emerging from the recent earnings of companies across the AI industry chain. Growth in cloud businesses is accelerating again, and compute demand continues to exceed supply. Customers are showing a willingness to accept price increases and even to prepay, and the unit economics of AI infrastructure are improving. Market attention is shifting away from concerns about excessive capital expenditure (CapEx) and back toward the belief that demand and profitability will actually materialize. Large cloud: The slope of cloud business growth turned upward this quarter, and the scale of new bookings in the quarter was overwhelmingly larger than in any of the past 20 quarters. Google has effectively no choice but to go all in. The mindset is that failure means the end. Even with negative free cash flow (FCF), every $1 of incremental cloud revenue converts into roughly $0.54 of new operating profit. On a simple calculation, the payback period is about 2 years. AWS's margin of 39.4% is very strong. This provides an answer to the questions about return on investment (ROI). AWS will ultimately become a business with $1 trillion in annual revenue, with roughly 5x of growth headroom over the long term. The payback period for the cloud business is also under 3 years. Microsoft: Azure's growth reaccelerated, providing an answer to concerns about the durability of that growth. Neocloud: Earnings, demand, pricing power, and financing capability have all been validated across the board. CoreWeave's (CRWV) recent compute resources are effectively all sold, with multiple customers competing to secure GPU volume. It added about 500MW of active power in a single quarter, and its year end target has been raised to more than 1.85GW. Its customer base is also broadening from large AI model companies and cloud giants to industrial, financial, life sciences, government, and traditional enterprises. AI is moving from a training centered frenzy toward a phase of adoption across every industry. CoreWeave raised prices across all SKUs by about 25% in July. The profit contribution rate on new contracts rose by 5 to 10 percentage points. This shows that customers judge the returns they earn from AI to be sufficient to absorb higher compute prices. Even the A100, launched in 2020, is being signed into high priced contracts running through 2029. This also refutes the core bear case that GPUs are rapidly rendered obsolete within 3 to 4 years and that their residual value goes to zero. Nebius (NBIS) saw total new contract value in the second quarter grow roughly 4x versus the prior quarter, with new customer contracts up more than 9x. Price tolerance on the demand side is so strong that, under current terms, it could sell all of its 2027 capacity today. Annual revenue on new contracts reaches $20 million to $25 million per MW. Pricing on prior generation GPUs also rose more than 30% versus the prior quarter, and short term total bookings reach as much as $40 million to $50 million per MW. Customers have begun prepaying the cost of building AI infrastructure. About 70% of new contracts include prepayment provisions, which can cover 50% to 60% of the related CapEx. Expected project payback periods have shortened from 2 to 3 years previously to 1 year and 10 months. This means AI infrastructure is not simply a business that scales while burning cash, but one that has already secured strong unit economics. Optical communications: The FCC related disruption is limited and the practical impact should be minimal. Lumentum (LITE) reported results above market expectations and raised guidance. EML demand exceeds supply by about 30%. The shortage of ultra high power lasers also continues to widen. Innolight's laser products are effectively sold out, and it plans to expand capacity roughly 4x over the coming quarters. The bottleneck remains delivery capability. Quarterly OCS revenue clearly exceeded $100 million for the first time. NPO is not a technology that replaces CPO but a newly added intermediate architecture. Key customers' CPO plans are unchanged and demand signals are getting stronger. AI architecture is becoming increasingly optically integrated. Memory and storage: It is now nearly certain that a bottom is forming. The core logic is to take time to secure room for recovery. The absence of price increases after the share price decline is already reflected in market expectations, and visibility on long term agreements (LTA) and shareholder returns is steadily improving. Compute: The market narrative is shifting back toward AI training and open source. We are positive that Nvidia (NV) will challenge its prior high, and a narrative around RSI is also gradually forming.↗

2026 EoY ARR: $7–$9B), I was hoping for a raise, but it's already massive growth. Not really about this quarter financials, but these signals: - "We could sell our entire 2027 capacity on these terms today." massive visibility on demand
- "4 customer agreements averaging over $1B+ each in contract value"
- Around 70% of Q2 deals included customer prepayments
- Contracted power guidance was raised again, from more ~4+ GW to 5 GW. (this used to be a concern vs. $IREN debate, but Nebius power guidance keeps going through the roof). - Expects $9B+ of prepayments in 2026 and says it has $40B+ of commitments.
- annual contract value per MW keeps going brrr (>$40M/mw for Q3 short term capacity deals) Same bear story will always be there (eg. large $5.66B of capex with current GAAP net loss), but demand is extreme with massive visibility, with increasing AI Cloud adjusted EBITDA margins ( 24% -> 45% -> 50% progression) We kinda got this read through from all your hyperscaler cloud earnings and $CRWV backlog yesterday, but glad it's showing up in Weebius's earnings.↗

The product can be integrated directly into existing AC infrastructure and delivers 800VDC power to compute racks within the same rack row. Since it does not require major retrofitting of existing buildings and power supply systems, it is expected to lower the upgrade threshold for existing AI data centers. Nvidia also plans to go a step further and introduce a "Row Power Center" for newly built or high density AI factories. This approach feeds power to multiple rack rows through an overhead 800VDC busway, supports up to 2MW per rack row, and is set to enter actual deployment from 2027. Over the longer term, Nvidia intends to adopt a "DC Power Block" that converts grid electricity directly into 800VDC at the facility level, building out a power delivery architecture for AI factories aimed at the next decade.↗

From optical earnings: 1. $LITE: unexpected demand and imbalance for UHP CW lasers. - Had ability to price up ASP for lasers. - Scale up CPO on track for H2 2027 shipments, called out any CPO scale up delay rumors as noise. Lumentum confirmed timelines (that CPO players like Sivers sold off of misleading reports from), high margins, and extreme demand for qualified CW lasers. 2. $AAOI: doesn’t have enough CW laser capacity because of too much optical transceiver demand. - Not meaningfully participating in first-gen CPO deployments, with $MTSI not looking like they're in it either but focusing on NPO. Haven't seen much with $SMTC after their HieFo acqusition. - Called lasers as the bottleneck within a 20-40% demand imbalance for transceivers. - Says customers approaching them every week asking them for supply + to move faster. AOI confirmed demand imbalances + bottlenecks for lasers. And we got an even smaller pool for first-gen CPO players. 3. Both $AAOI and $LITE claimed Chinese players were years behind for CPO lasers and far behind stated claims in qualified capacity. - $AAOI said 2-3 years+ behind with CPO lasers. - $LITE said they haven't seen anything like Chinese claims in terms of outputs (and no recourse if it's false). Reaffirms moat for CPO related lasers, and no flooding from some shortseller claims on the optical sector. 4. $MTSI said that many customers are approaching them with urgency due to the general supply shortage of indium phosphide DFB lasers. Again, puts Sivers in the that bottleneck, giving them likely more customer demand .

The latest prices are 0.9 yuan per piece for the 183mm N-type wafer, 1.0 yuan per piece for the 210R N-type wafer, and 1.1 yuan per piece for the 210mm N-type wafer. These wafer prices are 0.1 yuan per piece higher than before. SMM assessed that the increase is closely tied to cost related policy. Wafer producers' actual raw material procurement costs have risen, lifting input costs along with them, so the price increase is a natural result, according to SMM.↗

Investment Pushed Back Too Samsung Electro-Mechanics' investment schedule for semiconductor glass substrates is slipping. A bottleneck has emerged in the customer's prototype reliability evaluation. As a result, the timeline for building out the production line at GlaSSEM, the glass core joint venture, has also been pushed back, and the timing of related equipment orders has become murky. According to multiple industry officials on the 12th, GlaSSEM, the glass core joint venture between Samsung Electro-Mechanics and Dongwoo Fine-Chem, has been unable to give its partners an equipment order schedule. One industry official said, "As recently as the end of July the mood was that orders were imminent, but right now it is hard to predict when they will resume," adding, "The schedule has been postponed several times, so at this point it has become difficult even internally to roughly estimate when orders will be placed." Samsung Electro-Mechanics had been conveying equipment orders to partners for the GlaSSEM production line since November last year, but the schedule was pushed back at least three times, to December last year, then March, then June this year. After June, guidance on any follow up schedule disappeared altogether. The industry points to the failure to obtain reliability evaluation certification for the glass substrate prototype from a global communications chip customer. A person familiar with the matter said, "I understand that the investment schedule was halted because Samsung Electro-Mechanics failed to pass the reliability evaluation," and "Since the prototype has to be remade and resubmitted, further delays to the existing schedule are unavoidable." The person added, "Because a new prototype cannot be produced within one or two weeks, whether the line investment happens within this year is also uncertain." Samsung Electro-Mechanics is currently making glass substrate prototypes at its Sejong campus. To move to initial volume production, the step after pilot production, it is preparing to build a production line at GlaSSEM, the joint venture with Dongwoo Fine-Chem, a subsidiary of Japan's Sumitomo Chemical. Selection of the main process equipment suppliers, covering deposition, etching, laser drilling and inspection, is mostly complete. Last month, expectations ran high among equipment makers that orders would begin in August. Samsung Electro-Mechanics had planned to start with deposition tools, which carry the longest lead times, bring the main process equipment into Dongwoo Fine-Chem's Pyeongtaek campus and install it by April next year, and complete the initial production line within the second quarter. It is also known to have considered placing orders for long lead time equipment under the Samsung Electro-Mechanics name first and then transferring the contracts to GlaSSEM. A delay to Samsung Electro-Mechanics' glass substrate mass production timeline has likewise become unavoidable. Even if orders are placed within this year, factoring in equipment build times, the production line would be ready in the second half of next year at the earliest. The start of mass production is understood to have been pushed out to 2028 or later. When GlaSSEM was established early last month, Samsung Electro-Mechanics presented a target of operations starting in the second half of 2027. At the recent second quarter earnings announcement, less than a month later, it revised the start of operations to 2028.↗

More TAM for laser chokepoint club - "we expect the 1.6T transceiver uptake to intensify starting in fiscal Q1 and sustain through calendar 2027." - "Even in CW, we’ve been surprised at our ability to price up" Positive pricing power for $SIVE and the other CW laser players. - "As a result, we are able to command a nice price premium that we expect to sustain, as these Chinese if these Chinese guys come online. I caution people also, I think people are some of these Chinese laser suppliers are not delivering in the market today, so they have there is no recourse when they throw out these big numbers. We have not seen anything like that to date in terms of their output." Chinese players are more behind than markets expect, corroborated by $AAOI and $LITE. - "We are way behind in our shipments, unfortunately, on high-powered lasers" "The demand signal has increased, and we are very much further behind relative to our ability to supply." Extreme demand imbalance for UHP CW laser capacity, continued demand imbalance for EML. Shipping roughly +$50M year end -> $100m+ ("triple digit quarter") into much larger H2 2027 and 2028 scale up demand,. - "So what we are trying to do, I think, really in the last three months is secure even more substrate supply" (because of demand imbalance), "we found additional substrate help from $AXTI They are a great partner." Hello InP substrate bottleneck. TLDR: - Lumentum CPO scale up H2 2027 shipments got confirmed, dismissed any "delay" news as market "noise". (one delay report caused so much damage, and it took Nvidia, Lumentum, and all these companies weeks to do damage control). - CW lasers demand ramp second half of 2027
- Extreme demand imbalance for UHP CW laser capacity surprised Lumentum
- UHP lasers commands very high margins and is able to price up CW laser capacity. - China further behind in the laser/capacity angle. Basically just validated timelines + demand/pricing for Western CW laser players. CW laser scarcity is already happening before the main volume ramp even begins...↗
