Hyperscaler AI capital expenditure surge leaves semiconductor and optical names cheap on pullbacks

Conviction: 72% · Horizon: 3Y · 2026-07-13
Massive hyperscaler spending through 2028 supports AI infrastructure demand while related equities trade at depressed growth-adjusted multiples

Forecast hyperscaler capital expenditure approaching $1.4 trillion by 2028 implies sustained demand for memory, accelerators, and optical interconnect. A market dip has left several beneficiaries on modest NTM sales multiples or PEG ratios well below typical growth-stock norms, favoring a constructive stance rather than defensive positioning.

Instrument Side Target Reason
NVDA Long Leading AI accelerator vendor with PEG under 0.3x suggests the market is underpricing earnings growth against a multi-year hyperscaler build-out cycle.
MU Long Memory is a direct beneficiary of AI data-center spend; a PEG below 0.1x signals extreme disconnect between near-term price action and forward earnings power tied to CapEx.
AAOI Long Optical connectivity demand scales with AI cluster networking; trading near 6.8x NTM sales offers relatively modest revenue multiple exposure to that infrastructure layer during a pullback.
