Fear is the biggest short! Morgan Stanley calls for bottom-fishing in semiconductors: land and electricity shortages are not a problem, approved projects can't meet demand
Morgan Stanley believes that the recent sell-off in the semiconductor sector has been excessive, and that market panic rather than fundamentals is the biggest risk. Driven by demand for AI infrastructure, downstream orders continue to accelerate, with semiconductor supply remaining the core bottleneck. LPS constraints actually make growth more stable. The sector may fluctuate within a range in the short term and is currently near the bottom; prospects for the computing power and storage subsectors are favorable.

Hashrate orders are booming, why is "AI trading" falling out of favor? JPMorgan reveals the time lag between AI investment and productivity realization
Joseph Lupton from the JP Morgan Global Economic Research Team pointed out in a research report on November 10 that recent improvements in labor productivity have been driven more by capital deepening and increased intensity of factor utilization.

AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!
Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
