Are the Fab 5 wafer fab equipment companies — ASML, Applied Materials, Lam Research, Tokyo Electron, and KLA Corp — still worth buying at today's valuations? CSI breaks down 20 years of revenue data across the five companies that control roughly 70% of annual global fab equipment spending, and explain why 2026 and 2027 are shaping up to be record revenue years — with a potential speed bump in 2028 worth watching.The conversation also covers the wave of creative M&A reshaping the equipment landscape: the Axcelis and Veeco merger nearing final approval, Onto Innovation's strategic equity stake in X-ray imaging firm Rigaku, and Applied Materials' targeted acquisition of an advanced packaging segment from ASMPT.But the most overlooked part of this episode is the introduction of the Lab 7 — a group of life science and laboratory capital equipment companies, including Thermo Fisher, Agilent, Bruker, and Revvity, that share surprising structural overlap with semiconductor supply chain investing. CSI explains why these companies could serve as a diversification play for semiconductor-heavy portfolios, and why the two industries may begin to converge.If you're wondering how to stay invested in the semiconductor supply chain without overconcentrating in a handful of names, this episode gives you a research-backed framework for thinking about it.Topics covered:- Fab 5 revenue breakdown and 20-year performance- Is wafer fab equipment overpriced in 2026?- Axcelis + Veeco merger update- Onto Innovation & Rigaku X-ray partnership- Applied Materials acquires ASMPT packaging segment- Introducing the Lab 7: life science meets semiconductor- Portfolio diversification beyond the semiconductor supply chain- Semiconductor market cycle outlook through 2028 and beyondFor in-depth stock research and the Semiconductor Insider membership, visit chipstockinvestor.com.

Lam Research just reported its best quarter ever — and then guided the next quarter to $6.6 billion in revenue. Wall Street was expecting $6.1 billion. In this episode, Nick and Kasey break down everything that matters from Lam Research's Q3 fiscal year 2026 earnings: the headline numbers, the mix shift toward memory, the advanced packaging growth story, what management's $796 million share buyback at all-time highs is actually communicating, and why Lam has quietly become CSI's largest semiconductor equipment holding — overtaking Applied Materials, where their conviction started over a decade ago.There is also the acceleration of the $40 billion NAND conversion investment timeline, now expected to complete before the end of 2027 — a significant pull-forward that increases near-term equipment demand for exactly the etch and deposition tools that Lam dominates. What we cover:— Q3 FY2026 results: $5.84B revenue, +24% year over year, EPS beat, gross margin approaching 50%— Q4 guidance: $6.6B vs. $6.1B analyst consensus — what the gap means for the cycle— Memory mix rising to 39% of systems revenue and why it has further to run in 2026 and 2027— Advanced packaging revenues targeted to grow over 50% in calendar year 2026— Customer support segment hits a record $2B — the recurring revenue cushion for the next downturn— The $796M share buyback at all-time highs — management's unambiguous signal— The $40B NAND conversion acceleration and what it means for Lam's revenue runway— Wafer fab equipment spending raised to $140B annually — the industry-wide read-through— Why Lam has become CSI's largest fab equipment holdingSponsored by fiscal.ai — the platform powering CSI's KPI charts and financial data.

Helium ist kein Partyartikel – es ist das unsichtbare Rückgrat der globalen Halbleiterproduktion. Ohne Helium keine Wafer, ohne Wafer keine Chips, ohne Chips kein Auto, kein Smartphone, keine Waschmaschine. Und genau dieses Gas fehlt gerade. Über 30 Prozent der weltweiten Heliumproduktion kommen aus einer einzigen Anlage in Katar – die seit Anfang März stillsteht. Dazu ist die Straße von Hormuz gesperrt. Taiwan kämpft gleichzeitig mit einer LNG-Krise, die die Stromversorgung von TSMC bedroht. Samsung und SK Hynix haben noch RAM-Produktionsreserven für sechs Wochen. Sascha Pallenberg und Don Dahlmann analysieren, warum dieser "Perfect Storm" schlimmer werden könnte als Covid, was das für Lieferketten, Preise und die Autoindustrie bedeutet – und geben einen konkreten Rat, den sie schon vor einem Jahr gegeben haben. Damals haben sie recht behalten.

Markets - Did we just correct? - Inflation - Eco that matters - Manipulation in Oil - Land? John Dvorak Jr. - Guest  - UPDATE ON JCD - AH Spoke with JCD Saturday.... Oil Prices - Bogus? - The price of oil in the middle east is at $140 for its land-locked price, but ocean traveling oil is at $100. - Sort, of, opposite of what you'd expect? - But, then there's been active conversation and warning about manipulating oil futures to manage the situation. - Oil in Backwardation across the spectrum. (Current price of oil contract is $95 and December contract is $75) Oil Prices may be BOGUS - But What About Gas? Gas Prices More Manipulation - The Trump administration has discussed trading in the oil futures market as a strategy to help curb surging crude prices amid the war in Iran, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said. - US would just sell future contracts and then deliver at those prices at the end of the contract date. (SPR/Venezuela?) - Not sure how markets will take an intervention like that. - Remember when short selling was banned on Financials back in the 2008 ----Stock prices continued to fall during the ban and tended to stabilize only after it was lifted, suggesting the ban did not stop the decline. ------ Seems that when government intervenes in free markets they can set off more panic as the optics make it look even worse. ---- AND- Russian Oil sanctions partially removed Inflation and ECO - PCE Prices stay elevated - GDP rose at a seasonally and inflation-adjusted annual rate of just 0.7% in the fourth quarter, according to a Commerce Department revision Friday. - The first revision of the GDP reading was a sharp step down from the previous estimate of 1.4% and well below the Dow Jones consensus forecast for 1.5%. - The core PCE inflation rose 0.4% in January and 3.1% on a 12-month basis. The ex-food and energy reading was 0.1 percentage point higher than December. Eco Table Oil Models...Very Cool - JSD - Explain - https://gemini.google.com/share/d1427a61a804 Department of Defense, err War, is hiring - The Pentagon is hiring financial 'defense', or is that a financial warfare unit? - This may mean we're beginning to really adopt "Unrestricted Warfare (???) ----- ie: The Chinese strategy where the warfare model is extended to include social engineering, illicit trade, and finance operations. - Isn't this already in play? Tariffs, Straits of Hormuz, Asset Seizure (Russian Yachts), Venezuelan Oil???? --- This is why Quantum is in play too...(offense and defense) Did you know? - 30% of Helium production comes from Qatar - Qatar helium production stopped back on March 2nd, and is ~30% of all helium globally - South Korea depends almost entirely on helium from the strait of Hormuz, with 65% from Qatar specifically -  Semiconductor manufacturing - - Wafer/equipment cooling — High thermal conductivity removes heat fast during lithography, etching, deposition, and other steps; critical for precise temp control and smaller chip nodes (no good substitutes). - - Inert purging & atmospheres — Chemically inert; flushes systems, prevents unwanted reactions in annealing, deposition, or vacuum chambers. -- - Plasma processes — Acts as carrier, diluent, or purge gas in plasma etching for precise circuit patterning. - - Leak detection — Tiny atoms detect micro-leaks in tools, pipelines, and vacuum systems to ensure reliability. - - Backside wafer cooling — Delivers stable cooling to silicon wafers in advanced fabs. INDIA! Running out of Gas - Does it matter? - India maintains only a 25 day reserve of oil - Good news for them that they use coal for electricity generation, and only use oil for transportation - BUT BUT BUT, What about getting goods from one place to another in India? -- FWIW - coal prices up 19% YTD in India Back to this... - AI not causing job losses - WHAT ABOUT META? - Meta's stock climbed after Reuters reported the social media giant is planning to lay off over 20% of its 79,000 employees to balance AI-related spending.

Disability inclusion isn't charity—it's smart business built on untapped strength. In this special series devoted to widening our circle of empathy for people who often feel marginalized or misunderstood, listen to this uplifting episode featuring Mark Wafer, one of the world's most respected champions of disability inclusion.Mark is the former longtime owner of 14 Tim Hortons restaurants, where he and his wife built a globally recognized model for inclusive employment. Over 25 years, they employed hundreds of people with disabilities across every level of their business—proving that inclusion isn't just the right thing to do, it also boosts the bottom line. Drawing from his lived experience with deafness, Mark shares how small, intentional changes can radically transform workplaces, communities, and lives.Together, we explore:Debunking common myths and stereotypes about hiring people with disabilitiesThe impact of inclusion beyond complianceThe business case for disability inclusion, from lower turnover to higher innovationHow inclusive workplaces turn purposeful empathy into competitive advantageWhether you're a business leader or simply curious, this conversation will expand how you think about disability and inclusion.00:00 Preview00:54 Introduction 02:47 About Mark Wafer06:25 Mark's backstory09:02 Mark's message to disabled youth and their parents11:51 What made Mark resilient as a young deaf student15:00 Mark's journey into business ownership21:47 The business case for disability26:25 Why do inclusive employers perform better?31:15 How does diversity build stronger companies?33:53 Why disability rates in Canada are rising every year41:07 The true cost of disability exclusion in organizations46:58 Disability etiquette: ask before assuming49:17 How to include people with disabilities52:15 Mark Wafer's Purposeful Empathy storyCONNECT WITH ANITA✩ Email purposefulempathy@gmail.com ✩ Website https://www.anitanowak.com✩ Buy a copy of Purposeful Empathy http://tiny.cc/PurposefulEmpathyCA✩ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/anitanowak/✩ Instagram https://tinyurl.com/anitanowakinstagram✩ Podcast Audio https://tinyurl.com/PurposefulEmpathyPodcast✩ Bluesky https://bsky.app/profile/anitanowak.bsky.socialCONNECT WITH MARK✩ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/markwafer/SHOW NOTES✩ The Power of Kindness, Dr. Brian Goodman https://www.amazon.com/Power-Kindness-Empathy-Essential-Everyday/dp/1443451061Video edited by Jad Misri, Green Horizon Studio
