July semiconductor revenues, just reported by the SIA, reached a record high.  Today's market bears a strong resemblance to the high-growth days of 2017-18, and an end will come when the market falls back to normal growth.  This presents opportunities for growth in the near term and shorts in the longer term.

NVIDIA has had a phenomenal runup in the stock price over the past quarter with investors actually wondering if the company has any further steam left.The company’s financial performance in the quarter was rock solid with record revenues in both hyperscale cloud and industrial enterprise and a year-on-year growth of 68%.Given the recent runup of the stock, we are adopting a conservative approach on NVIDIA and we give it a 'Hold' rating with a revised target price.

The semiconductor market reached record revenues in June.  Much of this has been driven by a mild shortage in semiconductor memories, DRAM and NAND flash, but the larger shortage of older technologies has also had a hand in this.

Virtuous circle themes of Vision Fund IPOs, ongoing buybacks/MBOs and Alibaba expansion have been replaced by vicious circle narratives of China regulation, the reality of weak liquidity events and another pause in returns to shareholders. The net result is Softbank trades at a similar price and discount to what it did in September last year even as NASDAQ has climbed 25%. The sell off in Softbank shares since Q4 results in May was initially driven by disappointment on a buyback but the discount has stabilized and recent weakness reflects erosion in the underlying value/share.
