ASML Can't Build Machines Fast Enough: The AI Chip Boom Just Hit a Supply Wall
ASML just posted a record €11.7 billion quarter, but the real headline is what it said about the future: even with 30% more capacity planned, it can't build enough chipmaking machines to meet demand in 2027 and 2028. Customers are already asking about 2030. Here's why the AI trade's bottleneck is shifting from money to machines, and what to watch as TSMC reports next.

The real story is who controls the chips AI runs on, and whether Amazon can buy its way out of Nvidia's shadow. Here's what to watch before a single signature hits paper.
AMD Hits $1 Trillion: Why the Chip Rally Behind the Milestone Matters More Than the Number
AMD just crossed $1 trillion for the first time, but it didn't rally alone. Chip stocks surged, the Nasdaq set a record, and the AI trade may finally be broadening beyond Nvidia. Here's what's driving the move, and the test AMD faces next as it tries to hold the trillion-dollar line.
Broadcom Just Forecast $230 Billion in AI Chip Sales — and the Stock Fell Anyway
Broadcom more than tripled AI chip revenue to $16.7 billion and forecast roughly $230 billion by fiscal 2028 — and the stock still fell. Snowflake jumped more than 20%. HPE posted record revenue and dropped over 3%. Same sector, same tailwind, three different verdicts. Here's what the market is actually pricing now, and why the 10-year Treasury yield matters more to these stocks than the guidance did.
