ARM β Research Report (2026-07-20)
What it is: ARM designs the CPU blueprints ("architecture") that power nearly every smartphone and a fast-growing share of AI data-center chips β it doesn't make chips, it licenses the plans and collects a royalty on every one shipped. Β· My take: the best royalty business in tech, priced for a decade of flawless execution β the fundamentals are excellent, but the stock has almost no room for a stumble.

BESI β Research Report (2026-07-19)
What it is: Dutch maker of chip *assembly* machines β the tools that stack and connect finished chips β and the world leader in hybrid bonding, the key technique for building AI chips in 3D. Β· My take: one of the highest-quality monopoly-like assets in semiconductors, at a price (~134Γ trailing earnings) that already prepays most of the 2030 dream β study now, buy only in tranches on weakness.

TSM β Research Report (2026-07-14)
What it is: The world's largest contract chip factory ("pure-play foundry") β it manufactures chips designed by Apple, Nvidia, AMD and others, but sells nothing under its own brand. Β· Overall take: A genuine monopoly on leading-edge chip-making, firing on AI demand, priced richly but not absurdly β the risk is a map coordinate, not the business.
