TSMC: Hot AI Demand Meets Capacity Crunch And Margin Erosion - Time To Take Profits? — Positive
TSM Seeking Alpha — July 23, 2025My high-conviction bullish view on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited aka TSMC has reaped great rewards. But after Q2 FY25 results, I am not as enthusiastic now. TSMC is seeing red-hot demand driven by high-performance computing needs, but due to capacity constraints, we can't expect commensurate growth. Usually, high demand and limited capacity leads to margin improvements via higher pricing. But not in this case as overseas fabs and a strong FX headwind may offset pricing gains.

Vicor: Patent Win Boosted Second Quarter Results, But I'm Not Chasing The Stock — Positive
VICR Seeking Alpha — July 23, 2025Vicor Corporation's Q2 results were boosted by a one-time $45M legal win, not by core business growth, which remains modest and order backlog is shrinking. Patent victories and new power-conversion tech strengthen Vicor's long-term prospects, but meaningful EV and AI revenue is still years away. Valuation remains high, with VICR stock pricing in flawless execution and rapid growth; current fundamentals don't justify this optimism yet.

LCID UBER Seeking Alpha — July 23, 2025Uber's determination to emerge as the ride-share/robo-taxi platform market leader has been exemplified by the growing partnerships with Waymo, Lucid, and Volkswagen, amongst others. For now, the company remains more than well capitalized to embark on the ambitious autonomous investments, thanks to the richer Free Cash Flow generations and stable balance sheet health. Uber's key differentiator will be the well-diversified mobility offerings across ride-share, grocery/ food deliveries, freight/ logistics, instant commerce, and advertising, amongst others.
