SK Hynix ripped in Seoul on the shareholder return story, outpacing Samsung, and management is saying they will meaningfully expand capital returns with a concrete plan by year end. the quiet period ending on the 4th was the unlock for that. memory finally starting to hand cash back instead of just announcing capacity 🏦
$Sandisk(SNDK.US) and HBF thoughts:
An analyst question from the Sandisk earnings call: "High bandwidth flash, I'm wondering if you're seeing any price premium on that...versus conventional NAND."Sandisk's response: "It's a little early to talk about pricing on some of those nodes just yet."This answer has left me scratching my head...HBF is Sandisk's near-term growth vector for entry into AI inference workloads. Since HBF will command higher ASPs than standard NAND flash, Sandisk's HBF economics need to be forecasted to gauge what this means for future earnings.In turn, HBF pricing needs to be compared to HBM since every HBF order is an allocation decision made against HBM — same construction, same adv packaging capacity, same customer, same BOM line, same qualification cycle etc etc.However, the part that left me confused is this.It's usually the case in most industries that when you get these types of non-answers regarding new product pricing — it's a signal of a premium pricing model vs. incumbent companies and "competing" products. There are many examples you can Google separately.So in simple terms, is this a signal that Sandisk's HBF is to be priced ~similarly to HBM?This wouldn't make much sense since it's widely assumed that HBF is worse than HBM, by design. For example, HBF is lower latency and has slow and finite write endurance vs. unlimited for HBM.Therefore, should HBF not be priced relatively lower than HBM to account for these shortcomings? Ultimately, if Sandisk's HBF does get priced highly, what's to say that Sandisk's demand would remain sticky longer term?These are just musings, but considering that the SK Hynix and Sandisk HBF specs were released earlier this week, I hope that Sandisk provides more clarity/clues in their Investor Day next week.
SanDisk just jumped 10.84% into tonight's earnings, and the options market is still pricing a ±15% swing with no clear direction — here's what the data actually says.
samsung took DRAM share back to 39%, hynix dropped from 39 to 26, micron sitting at 25. everyone keeps shouting supercycle but nobody wants to talk about who actually loses share inside one 🤔
$XL2CSOPHYNIX(07709.HK)
**My suggestion: Sell 2,000 units on today's rebound, keep 1,000 units. Don't clear the position all at once, but also don't continue to hold a full position bearing 2x volatility.**
As of **09:31 CST**:
- 7709: **HK$39.50, +6.47%**, opening range HK$39.40–40.00
- SK Hynix: **₩1.656 million, +5.01%**
- However, Hynix surged to **₩1.701 million** in the early session before pulling back, indicating significant profit-taking at the open.
- The KOSPI is still up **3.06%**, so this isn't a failed rebound; there's no urgent need to exit completely for now.
- Southern Asset Management officially confirmed: the target leverage for 7709 today remains **2x**.
### Operational Framework
1. **HK$39.5–40.0: Sell 2,000 units**
This recovers approximately **HK$79,000–80,000**. Knowing that the cost basis for these 2,000 units was HK$36.18; calculated at 39.5, the return on this portion is approximately **9.18%**.
2. **Continue observing the remaining 1,000 units**
- If Hynix reclaims **₩1.68 million** and 7709 breaks above **HK$40.5**: Hold on, with initial targets at **HK$41.5–43**.
- If 7709 falls back below **HK$37.10**: Exit all remaining positions to prevent today's rebound profits from being given back.
### Why not clear the entire position?
Hynix has already reclaimed the area near yesterday's high of ₩1.63 million, and the market is seeing broad-based recovery. The rebound may have a second leg. Selling everything would mean missing out on this upside. However, its rapid pullback from ₩1.701 million suggests that **this looks more like a strong technical rebound rather than confirmation of a new trend.**
**In short: Instead of betting on whether it can double again, let's secure two-thirds of the profits and principal first, leaving one-third to participate in a potential second wave.** 7709 is suitable for fighting battles, not for standing guard.
I have recorded your current holding of **3,000 units** in the portfolio file; since I do not have records of the cost basis for the additional 1,000 units, I have not fabricated any overall portfolio P&L.

Analyst sees SK Hynix’s HBM leadership and constrained memory capacity supporting an opportunity to own the shares at a discount.SK hynix did 79.32 trillion won of revenue, up 257% yoy at a 76% operating margin, and still missed the street's 84 trillion. HBM4 is in mass production and DRAM ASP was up about 30% qoq. when a print that good gets sold, the bar stopped being fundamentals and became expectations. trimmed a third of mine.

Overnight, sentiment around AI compute turned higher overseas, with hardware across the chain rallying. Meta raised its Hyperion data center investment to $50bn and capacity target to 5GW.Amazon likewise lifted 2026 capex to $220bn. It expects the storage shortfall to extend into 2027/2028...$XL2CSOPHYNIX(07709.HK) just came a bit early. Hahaha, this stock is much more thrilling than our big crypto circle. Comparing the price changes of bitcoin, it's basically a stablecoin.
ok so sandisk and SK hynix just put out this HBF standard, 512GB a device with a UCIe link straight to the GPU. genuinely asking, does that make NAND an actual AI component now or is it still just storage with better marketing?? 🙏
Well that was a nice reversal for the major US indices as they started on the low trapping the bears and gained strength as the day progresses. Result: Nice daily green candles all round. Volume is low though. Will we get a follow through day? Day 4-7 after a rally off the lows is when that usually happens. Go bulls go!
Amazon became the fifth company ever worth $3 trillion. Then Palantir printed 93% revenue growth after the bell while still sitting 40% below its own high.
I am rather surprised that US and Japan joined hand to intervene YEN. My read: American is under threaten by Japanese. If US don’t buy YEN, BOJ will dump its massive $1.14T+ Treasury pile which would have sent yields rocketing and hurt stocks far more.
Am I correct? Trump and Takashi in the same boat now. Both depends on each other 🤣.No more “Pearl harbour “ story 🤭

great earnings that prove that AI is having positive economic impact has brought the market back up, plus the hope for the strait being under US control leading to a higher chance the conflict can be resolved is what has driven this move up. we are still in a headline sensitive environment so we should still be aware and manage our risk properly, nothing can continue going up forever but we must stay invested to be part of the gains

War on Iran. The two countries are always confused by many people. US says negotiations are on the way, Iran is desperate to seal the deal, but Iran say not true.
