    Ouster (OUST) Stock Analysis: Should You Buy The Dip After Earnings?

    Ouster (OUST) is a small-cap player in LIDAR, aiming for a role in AI infrastructure and Physical AI. After a pullback following its Q3 2025 earnings, we dive into the financials to see if this "prove it" stock is a buy the dip candidate. We analyze the company's supply chain, key customers like Serve Robotics, and break down Ouster's progress toward its long-term financial goals for revenue growth, gross margins, and operating expenses. While Q3 showed strong revenue acceleration, a look at free cash flow and the dilutive effect of the ATM program highlights the trade-offs of investing in a high-growth small-cap business. We also revisit a special valuation method we use for companies that aren't yet profitable to determine what Ouster would be trading at if it hit a 20% free cash flow margin.

    The Real Reason ServiceNow & Netflix Are Splitting Stock (It's Not What You Think)

    ServiceNow and Netflix are splitting their stock in late 2025! In this video, we break down ServiceNow's 5-for-1 split (happening in December) and Netflix's 10-for-1 split (in November). We dive into the key reasons why high-growth companies like these, which have seen awesome revenue growth, choose to split their stock, including the often-overlooked motivation of managing employee stock awards and incentives. Is a stock split a sign of a coming stock price increase? Historically, stocks tend to do well immediately after a split, but we explain why the real long-term focus should be on Free Cash Flow per Share and continued growth.

    NVIDIA's $1B Investment in Nokia: AI's Expansion Beyond the Data Center and the Dawn of 6G

    NVIDIA is investing $1 billion in Nokia to accelerate AI Radio Access Network (RAN) and research for 6G communications. This deal is an example of AI expanding beyond centralized data centers and into real-world applications like telecom infrastructure. We explore how this investment gives NVIDIA a strategic position in the future 6G network supply chain. We also discuss the differences between 5G and 6G, including a potential 100x increase in data transfer speed, aiming for near-zero latency, and increased capacity. This next generation of communication is primarily geared toward commercial and industrial use cases, such as real-time digital twins and advanced robotics, rather than standard consumer applications. We also briefly look at Nokia's supply chain dynamics and financial trends.

    Lam Research: China Risks vs. NAND Demand (LRCX Stock Analysis)

    Lam Research (LRCX) just released its September 2025 quarter earnings. Can the wafer fab equipment leader sustain its run? We break down the critical China sales concern (43% of revenue) and the US BIS affiliate rule impact, which forecasts a $200 million revenue hit in the December quarter and $600 million for calendar year 2026. Management expects demand from other regions (U.S., Taiwan, Korea) to offset these restrictions. Foundry, led by TSMC and other chip fabs, drove 60% of sales. Rising NAND demand is a key long-term tailwind. Q3 revenue was $5.32 billion. Lam’s large customer service revenue (roughly one-third of the business) remains a vital asset for customers repurposing equipment. We discuss why we're now advocating for patience with the stock after a 40% run-up, while noting the 2026 outlook may be stronger than current forward valuations imply.
