WHY ARE THE SEMIS UP THIS MORNING?

Well…a hyperscaler called $Meta Platforms(META.US) just reminded the market how much they are willing to spend on capex:

- Meta plans to double its AI computing capacity to 14GW in 2027 and begin manufacturing its in-house Iris AI chip in September, according to Reuters citing an internal memo.

- The Iris chip, part of Meta’s MTIA program, is designed with $Broadcom(AVGO.US) Broadcom and manufactured by $Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US) TSMC, with the goal of reducing reliance on $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) Nvidia and $AMD(AMD.US) GPUs.

- Meta has also secured long-term supply agreements with Samsung (memory), $Sandisk(SNDK.US) SanDisk (flash storage), and Sumitomo Electric (fiber-optic equipment).

Once again, the market remembers how much Big Tech is willing to spend and how serious they are about creating their own custom silicon.

Trump saying that Iran wants a deal last night + META getting ready to spend even more on capex is likely why the semis are starting to recover.
