🔥 NVIDIA JUST PUT A NUMBER ON THE AI BOOM

The AI slowdown debate just got a little harder to ignore.

Jensen Huang says Nvidia expects to sell 2× as many chips next year as this year. That’s a huge statement — but it’s still a forecast, not a book of signed orders. 

And the market clearly noticed:

🚀 AMD +6.36%

🔥 Marvell +4.81%

🟢 Nvidia +2.54%

⚡ Broadcom +2.29%

The bigger signal for me is what happens beyond Nvidia.

More AI compute means more demand for networking, custom silicon, memory and data-centre infrastructure. Thursday’s semiconductor rally also coincided with expanded Marvell–GlobalFoundries capacity for AI data-centre connectivity. 

But there’s still one giant question:

Does 2× chip demand eventually translate into 2× the economic returns for the AI ecosystem?

Nvidia Lifts Buyback Authorization to $235B — Who's Buying the New High?
Nvidia closed +1.34% at $233.95 Friday after an intraday record $237.88, market cap near $6T. No fresh news: the board added $150B to the buyback, authorization now $235B through Jan 2028. Chips rose: AMD +2.95% to $633.91, past $1T for the first time, +196% YTD; Broadcom +3.35% to $355.14. Intel alone fell -0.56% to $119.33. Bulls say $235B of buying cushions the price; bears say buybacks lift EPS, not next year's data-center orders — which $6T already assumes. When does a buyback stop being support?
