Friday, May 29, 2026 — 30 stocks across the AI semiconductor supply chain — by Amika
Earnings
DELL blowout earnings (reported May 28 after hours): Revenue surged 88% to $43.84B, with AI server segment nearly tripling to $29B. Direct catalyst for AVGO (+4.73%), CLS (+9.79%), and the broader AI infrastructure complex. This validates the thesis that hyperscaler capex is accelerating, not decelerating.
Catalyst
TSMC CEO promises 30%+ bonus bump: C.C. Wei told employees at a May 27 town hall that Taiwan-based workers will see profit-sharing bonuses rise 30%+ year-over-year -- a strong signal of confidence in the earnings trajectory fueled by AI demand.
Demand
ASML EUV order wave: SK Hynix and Samsung each placed ~$8B in EUV lithography machine orders. Micron also expanding capex to $25B this year. Memory-driven EUV demand is now exceeding logic chip equipment sales for the first time.
Sector
Optics selloff: AAOI (-6.28%), COHR (-4.11%), FN (-2.06%) all under pressure. The optical transceiver sector is cooling after a massive run-up; Robinhood flagged "Applied Optoelectronics Tumbles 9%, Coherent Sinks 8%" headlines. Insider selling at AAOI (founder sold $10M) adding to the pressure.
Breakout
MU hits new all-time high at $971: Broke above its prior 52-week high of $956 on continued HBM demand and DELL earnings momentum. Memory supercycle thesis validated -- HBM4 ramp and DRAM pricing power continue to drive upside.
Momentum
CLS rockets +9.79%: Celestica surging on DELL AI server validation. As a leading EMS provider building GPU racks and networking equipment for data centers, CLS is a direct beneficiary of the AI hardware buildout acceleration.
Watch
CRWV insider selling continues: Despite a +2.50% bounce today, CoreWeave remains under structural pressure from heavy insider sales (CEO Intrator $19.7M, CFO $1M). DA Davidson downgraded to Neutral with $100 PT. Current price $109.53 -- still above that target.
Based on your ~$300K META→semi rotation plan (NVDA 30%, TSM 25%, ASML 20%, AMAT 10%, AVGO 10%, Cash 5%).
Down 1.45% today after the DELL-fueled gap-up faded. Pulled back from intraday high of $217.86. Still below the May 28 close of $214.25. The expected DELL-driven gap-up played out but didn't hold -- if you missed the open, today's pullback toward $211 could be a reasonable re-entry window. 52-week high is $236.54.
Down 1.51% from yesterday's $424.86 close. Trading below the Barchart prior close level. The 30%+ bonus news signals TSMC management confidence. 2nm capacity sold out for 2027. Still well below its 52-week high of $430.55 (Barchart) -- relatively tight range. Consolidation zone.
Up 0.44% today. Trading near its 52-week high of $1,437 (EUR-listed) / above $1,600 USD. The massive EUV order book (SK Hynix $8B, Samsung $8B, Micron ramping) is the strongest fundamental backdrop in the tracker. Backlog exceeds 2 years. Richest valuation in the group but monopoly pricing power justifies it.
Flat today (+0.08%). Trading near its 52-week high of $462.40. Broadest semiconductor equipment portfolio. Stable -- not running away but not pulling back either. Low-urgency entry relative to NVDA and TSM.
Strong +4.73% day, direct DELL beneficiary via networking silicon. New 52-week high of $448.90 touched today. Running hot -- if you haven't entered yet, today's close may be chasing. Consider a limit at yesterday's close ($426.58) if a pullback materializes next week.
