Awaiting grading SanDisk sold NAND to Meta below its own quote. Does that mean demand is dying? To be scored on whether Q3 2026 QLC contract pricing settles above $0.38, and whether SanDisk's LTA share actually clears half of shipments. Awaiting grading Alphabet's Q2 beat blows past estimates, and Google raises 2026 capex guidance to $195-205B Check in the following weeks whether optics and networking suppliers like $LITE rally on Google's raised capex guidance, and whether Microsoft and Meta echo the same capex increase when they report next week. Awaiting grading AMD and Anthropic sign a multi-billion dollar chip supply deal, with AMD investing up to $5 billion back into Anthropic Check around AMD's August 4, 2026 earnings call and through 2027 whether the Anthropic deal (2GW of MI450 chips, up to $5B AMD investment) proceeds on the announced schedule. Awaiting grading Semiconductor stocks are about to overtake Big Tech as the S&P 500's biggest earnings driver Grade in Q3 2026, once Q2 earnings season is complete, whether semiconductor companies' contribution to S&P 500 EPS growth actually reached the ~48% Kobeissi projected, and whether Amazon/Google/Meta/Microsoft's combined contribution fell to roughly 9%.

Hit Meru: Alphabet's Wednesday earnings are the first stress test of the AI capex cycle, watch the CAPEX line, not the profit Alphabet's Q2 2026 earnings (reported July 22, 2026) beat revenue and profit estimates, but the company raised its 2026 capex guidance to $195-205B from the prior $180-190B, and GOOGL shares fell about 5-7% on the capex hike despite the beat -- confirming Meru's call that the capex line, not profit, would drive the market reaction. Awaiting grading SemiAnalysis: inside Meta's five-front, multi-gigawatt bid to catch OpenAI and Anthropic Score at end of 2026: does Meta actually have more AI compute than OpenAI and Anthropic, as SemiAnalysis projects?
