$AMAT
Applied Materials3/10Does he own it?
In the one tweet where he explicitly lists his holdings (AMKR, AEHR, ONTO, COHR, TSM), AMAT is deliberately excluded. Elsewhere he names other stocks as his positions (SIVE, MSSCorps, Auros). AMAT only appears as a node in supply-chain maps and as a likely customer of firms he discusses — never with a first-person buy/hold/size statement.
His thesis
AMAT is treated as a recurring beneficiary equipment supplier across AI semiconductor bottlenecks: SiC interposer deposition, capex from rising CPU ratios, and as a first-mover partner in glass-substrate ramps. He also cites it as a likely customer of niche inspection/analysis chokepoint firms he actually owns. The tone is positive on the structural demand, but AMAT serves as a reference point in mapping the supply chain rather than a focused investment thesis of its own.
How his view evolved
Consistently a background name across roughly five months: always one entry in broad supply-chain or bottleneck lists, never developed into a standalone thesis or position.
Key points
- Named as SiC deposition / equipment beneficiary in AI supply-chain maps
- Explicitly omitted from his stated holdings list while owning adjacent names
- Cited mainly as a likely customer of niche chokepoint firms he actually owns
