    NVIDIA Spectrum X vs. Arista & Broadcom: Is the AI Networking Boom Big Enough for Everyone?

    The announcement that NVIDIA's Spectrum X Ethernet is being used by Meta and Oracle has caused concern to investors regarding other networking companies. But should investors really freak out about this new competition? We break down what Spectrum X is—NVIDIA's open-standards Ethernet system that competes with companies like Arista Networks. We also differentiate it from NVIDIA's proprietary AI training technology, Quantum X InfiniBand. Discover the powerful counter-narrative: the strong partnership between Arista and Broadcom. They are working together on Ethernet-based XPU systems for hyperscalers. Broadcom has secured a massive $110 billion backlog and added new customers, including OpenAI, for these XPU-based computing racks. With the market for AI networking and inference growing into a tidal wave, we explore whether there is plenty of new business to go around for Arista and Broadcom.

    Sea Ltd (SE) stock is a large conglomerate operating in key emerging markets like Southeast Asia and Latin America, primarily in e-commerce (Shopee), digital finance (Monee), and digital entertainment (Garena). The company has successfully flipped to GAAP profitability, showing a stunning operational turnaround. In Q2 2025, GAAP Operating Income hit $488 million, up significantly from the prior year. Crucially, the Garena gaming platform, featuring the wildly popular game Free Fire, is the main earnings driver, contributing 44% of adjusted EBITDA. Following a return to growth in its core gaming segment, Sea Limited raised its full-year guidance, expecting digital entertainment bookings to grow over 30% in 2025. The strong balance sheet, with $11.5 billion in net cash , provides a long runway for continued expansion and digital migration across its markets. We perform a reverse DCF valuation based on the current $1.95 TTM EPS to see what growth is currently "baked into" the stock price.

    SanDisk is Cool Again? Why NAND Flash is the Next AI Supercycle Memory Play

    Everyone is talking about a new memory super cycle related to AI data centers, and suddenly, NAND flash is having its moment. SanDisk (SNDK) has returned to the public market after its spinoff IPO from Western Digital, and it’s back in growth mode. In this deep dive, we use our investing framework to analyze SanDisk's position in the storage market. We examine the major shift from HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) to SSDs (Solid State Drives) in data centers due to product shortages and the need for new solutions. Key Topics Covered: The Market: Why the NAND flash market is about to heat up and how SanDisk is uniquely positioned against memory chip makers like SK hynix and Micron. The Partnership: Our preference for SanDisk over Kioxia due to their Flash Ventures joint venture, allowing SanDisk to buy finished wafers at cost with a small markup (asset light model). The Innovation: SanDisk's invention of HBF (High Bandwidth Flash), which might be an answer to HBM for co-packaging next to GPUs. The Financials: Analyzing the 30x expected free cash flow valuation, the company's flip from free cashflow loss to free cashflow positive, the GAAP net loss, and the loan inherited from Western Digital. Investment Thesis: Whether SanDisk should be a small bet in a basket play alongside Lam Research and Pure Storage.

    Figma (FIGMA) Stock Analysis | What To Do After The Drop

    Figma's (FIG) IPO was one of the most anticipated in tech, and the stock price action was CRAZY! After the initial fervor, the price has pulled back significantly. Is this the buying opportunity investors have been waiting for? CSI is taking a deep dive into Figma's first earnings report as a publicly traded company to find out. In this video, we cover: ✅ New Acquisitions: Figma is already putting its IPO cash to work, acquiring Payload (a content management software company) and Modify (an AI-focused model context protocol). ✅ The Big Vision: How these acquisitions fit into Figma's goal to become the go-to platform for creating usable software, easily and intuitively. ✅ The Financials: We break down Q2 ✅ Future Outlook: Management is guiding for a growth slowdown to 33% for Q3 and taking a hit on margins for the sake of expansion. Is this a red flag or a smart long-term play? ✅ The Verdict: Is Figma stock a buy, sell, or hold at its current price? We give our final analysis and key takeaways. Timestamps: [00:00:00] What Figma Does: A review of Figma's end-to-end platform that helps companies with fast, agile software development from ideation to shipping. [00:02:45] Q2 Acquisitions: Breaking down the purchases of Payload, a Content Management System (CMS), and the AI coding startup, Modify. [00:04:45] AI Strategy & New Products: How Figma is using AI to be a disruptor with new tools like Figma Make, Draw, Sites, and Buzz, which were announced at its Config developer conference. [00:06:45] Model Context Protocol (MCP) Explained: Understanding how Figma connects designs to LLMs for coding assistance, with its Gen AI product housed on Amazon AWS. [00:08:30] Q2 Earnings & Valuation: Analyzing the first public report with $250M in revenue and a $26B+ market cap, compared to Adobe's failed $20B acquisition offer from three years prior. [00:10:30] CapEx & Hidden Costs: Exploring why even an "asset-light" company like Figma spends millions on physical hardware and cloud infrastructure from partners like AWS.[00:12:30] Future Financial Guidance: Breaking down the outlook for Q3 and the full year, including an expected growth slowdown and lower margins to fuel expansion.[00:14:05] Our Investment Strategy: Why we are being patient due to the high valuation and would only consider a very small Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) approach if we were to buy now. What are your thoughts on Figma's strategy?
