Semi Selloff! Can ALAB, ANET & ON Defy The AMD Trap?

Tech is reeling after AMD and Qualcomm's brutal earnings plunge. With AMD crushed by high expectations and Qualcomm hit by memory shortages, investors are fleeing to "hardcore infrastructure." Next week, Astera Labs (ALAB), Arista Networks (ANET), and onsemi (ON) will prove if the AI backbone is still solid. Can these connectivity and power leaders provide the safe haven the market desperately needs, or is the chip correction just beginning? Is AI infrastructure still the safest bet after the AMD meltdown? Which ticker are you buying for a rebound: ALAB, ANET, or ON?

The “AMD trap” narrative feels more like a positioning reset than a structural breakdown. When expectations run hot, even good earnings can trigger a de-risking move. What’s interesting is the rotation into “hardcore infrastructure.” ALAB and ANET are picks-and-shovels plays on AI scaling — connectivity, data flow, latency optimization. That’s structurally different from pure compute cyclicality. ON, meanwhile, is more tied to auto/industrial cycles, so it’s not the same AI beta. The key question isn’t whether semis recover — it’s where operating leverage and pricing power are strongest in the next 12–24 months. If AI capex continues consolidating around hyperscalers, networking and interconnect may actually show more durable growth than GPUs themselves. This feels less like a sector colla

$Qualcomm(QCOM)$: The "Disappointed" in the Mobile Market As market darlings shift to memory and AI servers, Qualcomm's position in the mobile sector appears somewhat bleak. Although supported by automotive and IoT businesses, under the shadow of Apple's in-house modems, Qualcomm urgently needs to demonstrate its monetization capabilities in AI PCs and edge AI.

Strict Growth + Flow Filter | NXT, SMCI, ALAB, APLD

I start my daily screening with this core screener, which is the source of most ideas shared with my subscribers. It’s built on both technical and fundamental growth filters with net positive institutional buying based on ownership changes over the past three months. This is a highly selective and strict screener designed to identify the best names first, before gradually expanding and loosening your filters to cast a wider net in the broader market, a process I highly recommend. No fluff, no emotion, ignoring the market’s fear of a breakdown continuation earlier this week. $International Paper(IP)$ $Nextpower(NXT)$ $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$

🔥📊🌍 Liquidity, Labour & Earnings Collide: The Week That Decides Whether Markets Break Higher or Reset Risk 📈⚡🔥

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $Alphabet(GOOGL)$  $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$  This week isn’t just another earnings cycle, it’s a stress test of whether liquidity, labour data, and earnings momentum can keep equities climbing while macro and political risks crowd the tape. I’m positioning where that decision shows up first, not after it’s obvious. 02Feb26 ET 🇺🇸 and we’re entering one of those weeks where everything converges at once. Earnings weight, labour data, shutdown politics, tariff talk, sector rotation and global policy signals are all colliding. When catalysts stack like this, price rarely moves gently. It reprices.

AMD, SMCI, QCOM, ARM Earnings: Can Legacy Semis Strike Back?

Recent market performance has left many tech investors disheartened. Compared to last year's widespread euphoria, the semiconductor sector seems to have been "abandoned" by the market, with capital fiercely flowing towards the latest market darling – the memory section. While memory giants like Hynix and Micron reap huge profits from AI server demand, logic chip and architecture powerhouses are grappling with "growth premium" scrutiny. This week, AMD, SMCI, Qualcomm, and ARM, four companies at the center of the storm, will release their earnings reports. From "Storytelling" to "Order Books" $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$:Challenging NVIDIA as the "Number Two Player" The market is no longer satisfied with Lisa Su showcasing the MI455 chip; they want

AMD's Reality Check: Why Strong Earnings Couldn't Prevent a Selloff Semiconductor giant $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$   released its Q4 earnings after the bell, triggering a sell-off that sent shares tumbling more than 8% in after-hours trading. What exactly happened? Let's take a closer look. Three Things to Watch Q1 Guidance Misses Expectations; The Performance Unlock Awaits the MI450 in H2 At first glance, AMD's Q4 2025 metrics seem to beat market expectations significantly. However, once you strip out the revenue from the China-specific MI308, the beat is actually quite modest. Furthermore, AMD's guidance for Q1 2026 failed to show the kind of sequential surge seen in AI memory stocks like $Micron Techno

(Part 1 of 4) - Economic & Earnings Calendar - Opportunity in BNPL with AFRM? (02Feb2026)

Economic Preview: Key Data Releases for January 2026 (week of 02Feb2026) Consumer Price Index (CPI) Update The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is scheduled for release in the coming week. Previously, the year-on-year CPI was reported at 2.7%. This data is significant as it provides insight into the current inflation rate, a critical economic indicator. Market volatility is expected around the release, given CPI’s role in reflecting inflation trends. Controlling inflation remains a central focus for the Federal Government, which has set a target rate of 2%. Existing Home Sales for January Another important economic indicator to be released is the existing home sales data for January. The previous report showed a figure of 4.35 million.

AMD Slides 17% — 2018 Redux or Buy-the-Dip Setup? AMD just suffered its worst one-day drop since 2018, plunging 17% intraday despite delivering an earnings beat. Shares gapped down over 11% at the open, erasing most of the gains built earlier this year. So what actually broke? Not earnings. Not demand. But expectations. The market wasn’t disappointed by what AMD reported — it was disappointed by what AMD didn’t promise. ⸻ What Triggered the Sell-Off? AMD’s quarter was objectively solid: • Revenue and EPS beat consensus • Data-center revenue continued growing strongly • Client and embedded segments showed resilience Yet the stock collapsed because forward guidance failed to validate the most aggressive AI narratives priced into the stock. Key pressure points: • AI revenue lacked a near-term
This is a pivotal moment for AMD. The 17% plunge is not just a number; it's a violent market verdict on its AI narrative. Let's break down whether this is a structural breakdown or a painful, but temporary, dislocation. 1. Is This the End of AMD's AI Optimism? No, but it's the end of the "AI optimism at any price" phase. The market has shifted from valuing AI potential to demanding AI proof. The key issues from the report that triggered the reset: "Less Impressive Without China": This is critical. A significant portion of Q4's beat was driven by one-off, lower-margin sales in China ahead of new export restrictions. Stripping that out reveals underlying demand that was good, but not "beat-and-raise" spectacular. The market hates being misled by non-recurring boosts. Lack of Near-Term Inflec

SMCI Defining "Show-Me" Moment To Help Pass Valuation Stress Test?

$SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ is scheduled to report its fiscal Q2 2026 earnings on February 3, 2026, after the market close. This report is arguably one of the most critical "stress tests" in the company's recent history, coming on the heels of significant 2025 volatility and operational hurdles. Key Metrics & Earnings Expectations Wall Street is looking for a massive sequential rebound after a disappointing Q1. The company itself has set a high bar for this quarter: Revenue: The company guided between $10 billion and $11 billion, representing a nearly 100% sequential increase from Q1 ($5.02B). Missing this midpoint would likely trigger severe concerns about demand fulfillment. Non-GAAP EPS: Analysts are targeting roughly $0.49 (with guida
SMCI Defining "Show-Me" Moment To Help Pass Valuation Stress Test?
Advanced Micro Devices: Guidance in Context Guidance Summary AMD reported above-consensus revenue and EPS for its latest quarter, with data-centre revenue of around $5.4 billion.  For Q1 2026, guidance was roughly $9.5 billion to $10.1 billion (midpoint of about $9.8 billion), slightly above Street expectations but down sequentially from Q4.  Market Reaction Investors focused on the sequential decline in anticipated quarterly sales as a signal that the AI hardware build-out, while intact, might be normalising after a peak cadence of orders. The stock’s downward move reflects this recalibration rather than a fundamental earnings miss.  The guidance, though slightly below the most bullish forecasts, was nonetheless in line with analyst estimates and represented a conservative

AMD Premium Valuation and Recent Rumour, Will These Affect Its Earnings Move?

We have seen how $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ suffer more than 5% dip on last Friday (30 Jan), though AMD has a more balanced chip business than Nvidia. AMD stock trades at a premium valuation of 40 times expected 2026 earnings. With rumor concerning potential production hiccups for its upcoming MI450 AI accelerators, will this further shake investors confidence for AMD ahead of its earnings. As AMD prepares to release its Q4 2025 earnings on February 3, 2026, the concern of its "premium" status could not be overlooked. While $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ dominates the headlines, AMD has quietly positioned itself as the "balanced" alternative, though this comes with a high bar for performance. In this article, we would
