Hardware's Moment
The AI transformation is fundamentally a hardware story. Memory (RAM) is the critical constraint — "Ramageddon" now has a consumer-facing name. entity/micron Q2 2026 revenue nearly tripled YoY. entity/arm vs Intel represents the architectural shift. entity/apple sits in a paradox: best hardware substrate but active hostility to AI-native software, with iOS 27 only partially opening.
A bullish call is scored on performance relative to the market, not the raw tape.
