What happened? Global chip stocks have collectively surged, with NVIDIA and Taiwan Semiconductor both reaching new closing highs.
NVIDIA's intraday stock price has broken through $150 for the first time since last November, with semiconductor stocks in Asia, Europe, and the USA seeing a broad rise. The demand for AI stimulated Foxconn's revenue to reach a record high in the fourth quarter of last year, becoming the main driver for leading chip stocks. At the same time, Microsoft and OpenAI have both released bullish signals for AI demand, and the market is also looking forward to Jensen Huang's significant speech on Monday, which has boosted sentiment.
Broadcom is迎来了 its "NVIDIA moment".
Before joining the "trillion dollar club", Broadcom's Market Cap had already reached around 800 billion USD. The rise of such a large AI Chip stock has made Wall Street think of NVIDIA.
Is there another reason to be Bullish on ASIC? The second half of the computing power war has begun, and the era of AI reasoning may be approaching.
① Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, pointed out that data resources are running low, and the next generation of AI models will be true AI Agents with reasoning capabilities. ② The o1 model recently released by OpenAI has a standout performance characteristic of "capable of reasoning and thinking." ③ The demand for reasoning calculations can even reach 4.5 times that of training calculations, and customized ASIC chips are expected to rise.
