For the vast majority of retail:
If you want to ride the capex trends happening right now, these are probably must have imo:
-
Memory - $MU, Samsung, Sk Hynix, $SNDK
-
Photonics - $LITE, $COHR
-
CoWoS/Foundry/Advanced Packaging - $AMKR, $TSM, $INTC
There's a lot of nuanced bottlenecks as you go upstream I talk about like :
$AXTI in the substrate/feedstock level for photonics, random niche players like $AAOI for ELS in CPO. $TER or $AEHR for yields, or $TSEM for SiPh. Or even copper usage in DCs to substrates from unimicron to others.
My opinion is that for the vast 99% of people, you can live life on easy mode without tracking day-to-day updates on X or where the capex spend from $AMKR goes.
Just turning your brain off from all the supply chain mapping / updates, then just sticking with things like $TSM which is the center of it all is sometimes the better thing to do.
It probably outperforms a large percentage of the upstream players as well.
