$AMD (Advanced Micro Devices): Rising CPU prices due to demand for "Agentic AI" (autonomous AI agents) and strong execution on both the CPU and GPU sides. (Strong Buy)
Micron Technology ($MU): Leading HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) capacity at the heart of AI infrastructure and global supply shortages driving up memory prices. (Buy / Strong Buy)
NVIDIA ($NVDA): Potential to further expand market share with Rubin and Vera processors thanks to networking technologies and power-efficient photonics. (Buy)
Taiwan Semiconductor ($TSM): The AI boom is expanding beyond just the model training phase, and the stock is highly attractively valued based on its multiples. (Buy)
Ambarella ($AMBA): Transformation from a simple chip manufacturer to an edge-AI platform; its potential in robotics and corporate inference markets is undervalued by the market. (Strong Buy)

Iberdrola ($IBDRY): Strong defensive profile protected by long-term contracts, aiming to increase global renewable energy infrastructure to €70 billion by 2028. (Buy)
Applied Digital ($APLD): Successive new data center lease agreements signed due to high demand from large technology companies (hyperscalers). (Strong Buy)
⚙️ 3. Sector: Semiconductor Equipment & Hardware
Ultra Clean Holdings ($UCTT): A cheap stock that will benefit from the growth in the wafer-fab equipment market with the highest operating leverage due to its reliance on giants like Applied Materials and Lam Research. (Buy)
MKS Instruments ($MKSI): Trading at a discount compared to its competitors due to increased semiconductor equipment spending and capacity expansion in Malaysia. (Buy)
🌐 4. Sector: Cloud, Software & Health Technologies (Cloud, SaaS & Tech-Health)
Salesforce ($CRM): Growth generated by the shift from classic user-based pricing to a usage-based (metered) pricing model for AI agents and data layers. (Buy)
Oracle ($ORCL): High growth momentum achieved with its multicloud strategy integrating Exadata databases into competing cloud infrastructures. (Buy)
Hims & Hers Health ($HIMS): Strong entry into the obesity ecosystem through its partnership with Novo Nordisk and the potential for technical squeeze due to its high short interest rate. (Strong Buy)
