Week of 7 September 2026

1 dossier
  1. OracleRefreshai

    The Q1 FY27 print settles the two questions the July dossier could not

    Was none (no verdict, no call this pass)

Week of 31 August 2026

1 dossier
  1. TSMCRefreshhardware

    The Q2 beat was not a peak — July revenue accelerated to +44.7% YoY, the board appropriated a single-tranche US$29.4B of capacity capital, and H1 cape…

Week of 10 August 2026

26 dossiers
  1. AlcoaRefreshcritical materials

    The bear case fired — but through a door the prior dossier wasn't watching, and the stock overshot it.

    Was A genuinely deleveraged, vertically-integrated aluminum pure-play whose 2025-26 earnings recovery is being borrowed from a tariff

    Correction This is a correction to the prior analysis, not a refinement of it. What else held: the price-taker diagnosis (unchanged and now vividly demonstrated); the "never anchor on GAAP net income" discipline (Q2 proved it in…

  2. Amazon (AWS)Refreshai

    The 2026-07-30 print settled four of the five questions the prior dossier said it could

    Was WITHHELD — no directional call this pass. Data, definitions, and mechanics only, per the Socratic rule in the dispatch.

  3. AmphenolRefreshhardware

    The Q2 print did the one thing the bear case could not survive

    Was A 90-year connector compounder that the market has re-rated into an AI-infrastructure growth stock

  4. Applied DigitalRefreshdatacenters

    The backlog stopped being a press release and became an audited receivable

    Was A real estate developer wearing an AI costume

  5. Bloom EnergyRefreshdatacenters

    Was A real business finally inflected to GAAP profit on the AI-power boom

  6. BroadcomRefreshhardware

    The thesis got WIDER and the price got WORSE.

    Was The custom-silicon workflow winner, now with the thesis HARDENED by primary data

  7. The platform thesis got materially better

    Was A genuine semiconductor moat wrapped around a sub-scale, still-unprofitable medtech

  8. Cadence Design SystemsRefreshhardware

    The de-rate the June dossier warned about arrived early and for the exact reason it named

    Was A toll-booth on the AI-silicon boom with 86% gross margins and an $8B backlog

  9. Equillium, Inc.Refreshbiopharma

    The science got better and the share structure got worse

    Was A two-asset preclinical option on EQ504 (gut-restricted AhR modulator for UC) wrapped in a >3yr cash runway and tier-1 (RA Capital / Decheng) sponsors…

    Correction Correction to the prior dossier: it recorded "$0.76M payables" for Q1-2026.

  10. EquinixRefreshdatacenters

    The largest guidance raise in company history rests on a quarter whose headline was bought

    Was The interconnection monopoly the AI bears mis-modeled

  11. First SolarRefreshenergy

    The subsidy thesis just got a second leg — a $0.38/W federal module price floor from the Aug 6 Section 232 proclamation now sits ABOVE First Solar's o…

    Was The best-run solar manufacturer on earth, but ~$1.6B of FY25's $1.5B net income is a US tax credit

    Was The best-funded, worst-priced AI franchise in megacap

  14. The buildout stopped being paid for by the ad business and started being paid for by the capital markets

    Was NOT ISSUED — this refresh is scoped to capex mechanics, compute-resale evidence, and depreciation policy ahead of the 2026-07-29 print.

  15. MicronRefreshhardware

    LONG — MEDIUM (conviction DOWN one notch from the prior MEDIUM-HIGH, on wider risk, not a worse business).

    Was LONG — MEDIUM-HIGH. The −13% pullback to ~$985 (from the $1,133 that anchored the prior NEUTRAL) is the change that flips the entry: the quality is un…

    Correction ❌ REGULATORY — the prior dossier's "clean" was wrong. regulatory/regulatory-findings.md (last fetched 2026-06-29) reports zero SEC LR and zero AAER — accurate, and it explicitly states that FTC/DOJ/other agencies are…

  16. The franchise got stronger and the price got cheaper

    Was The dominant solar-tracker franchise (>50% US, ~30% global, 11 straight years #1) with a clean, net-cash balance sheet and a beat-and-raise FY26

  17. nVent ElectricRefreshenergy

    The order line decelerated and the backlog shrank

    In seven weeks the story got a number and the tape got worse

    Was A licensing-fortified cash machine being paid ~20x forward NOT to lose a $7B Apple leg it is already losing

    Correction CORRECTION TO THE PRIOR DIVE. The valuation-allowance figures were $5.7 billion in both directions — the FY2025 establishment and the Q2 FY2026 release — with the tax reconciliation line reading $5,724M.

  20. SK HynixRefreshhardware

    The rent got BIGGER and the price got HALVED. Q2 printed a 76.3% operating margin

    Was BULLISH / MEDIUM — the largest, highest-share slice of the HBM oligopoly rent (~57–62% share, ~2/3 of Nvidia HBM4, 72% op margin, ~61% ROE, DRAM crown…

  21. Southern CompanyRefreshenergy

    The two mechanical bear points got repaired

    Was A regulated-utility levered call on the Georgia data-center build-out

  25. Vertiv HoldingsRefreshdatacenters

    The print that mattered came in split — margin, cash and the raised guide all beat, revenue missed, and the reason it missed was Vertiv's own executio…

  26. Viking TherapeuticsRefreshbiopharma

    The burn peaked, the science advanced, and the board responded by authorizing a $500M buyback it cannot fund while signing a new ATM to sell the same…

    Was The best obesity asset not yet owned by Big Pharma

Week of 3 August 2026

1 dossier
  1. MicrosoftRefreshai
