| ATEYY | 3.8% | -0.14% | $3,258.51 | Reports in yen so no multiple or per-share data; I am judging margins, returns, growth and leverage only. Gross margin has walked 51 to 57 to 64 percent while operating margin went 17 to 29 to 44 and ROE from 14 to 47 percent, that is an operating leverage inflection, not a blip. Revenue growth of 45 percent after 60 percent is a slight cooling but off a much larger base, and debt to equity collapsed from 0.22 to 0.03, so the balance sheet risk is gone. Margin expansion of this magnitude on high growth is where I want to be. |

| TSM | 3.6% | -6.87% | $3,106.92 | Reported in TWD so I am judging margins, returns, leverage and growth rather than multiples. Gross margin climbs 59 to 62 to 66 to 68 percent across the last four periods, with operating margin up 50 to 60 and net margin 43 to 56. Revenue growth of 36 percent alongside that expansion is the textbook inflection, not a level story. Debt to equity falls 0.22 to 0.15 and current ratio near 2.5, so no balance sheet risk funding it.

That is expansion on top of acceleration, not a peak. TTM EPS jumped from 6.53 to 7.91 in a single step, yet the multiple compressed from 31 to 27, so the market is discounting the trajectory rather than extrapolating it. Debt/equity at 0.17 is nothing against 0.84 ROE. Own it until margins roll. |

| AVGO | 3.3% | -10.70% | $2,870.55 | Operating margin has marched from 39% to 49% across the last five trailing periods with gross margin also creeping up, so this is real operating leverage, not a one-off. Revenue growth of 48% with TTM EPS moving 5.12 to 6.00 and FCF per share 6.10 to 6.89 says the earnings ramp is still building. Meanwhile leverage is coming down, D/E 0.97 to 0.74, and the current ratio doubled to 2.24, so the balance sheet is improving while the P&L accelerates. A 63x multiple is not cheap, but on that rate of change the market is still extrapolating the old trajectory. |

TTM EPS moved 1.08 to 1.37 while book value compounded from 4.82 to 7.13 and debt/equity came down from 2.08 to 1.53, which is exactly the combination I want: better returns on less leverage. At roughly 16x with FCF per share above 3, the market is still paying for the old low-margin story. Gross margin is flat at 40%, so this is opex leverage rather than mix, which is why I stop short of maximum conviction. |

| MU | 2.9% | -11.43% | $2,531.95 | This is a violent upcycle, not a drift: gross margin went 38 to 45 to 56 to 74 to 85 percent and operating margin 23 to 80 percent in four quarters, with TTM revenue up roughly 3.5x. EPS doubled from 21.18 to 44.17 in a single quarter of TTM data while debt to equity collapsed from 0.32 to 0.06 and FCF per share hit 23. At 20x trailing on earnings still inflecting upward, the multiple implies the market expects this to roll over imminently; the rate of change says otherwise. I respect that memory eventually cycles, but you ride the inflection while margins are still expanding. |

Just as important, debt to equity has come down from 1.44 to 1.12 while free cash flow per share runs at 1.74 against a 406M cap.

EPS 0.89 to 1.17 in one quarter of TTM data, FCF per share up 25 percent, debt basically zero. Market cap is flat versus a year ago while earnings power doubled, so the 149 multiple is actually deflating into the growth. Rich, but the trend is outrunning the price. |

Cash burn is shrinking and the balance sheet is clean, debt/equity 0.10 with a 5x current ratio, so there is no blow-up risk here.

Book value per share compounding hard, debt/equity just 0.18, so the capex surge that is pressuring FCF per share is self-funded.

| ANET | 2.3% | -19.90% | $1,985.34 | Revenue up 38% on a trailing basis with operating margin pushing to 45% from 42%, and TTM EPS stepping 2.92 to 3.17 in one quarter. Gross margin slipped to 0.63 from 0.65 on customer mix, but operating leverage more than offset it, so the business is inflecting up, not rolling over. The catch: market cap went 178B to 251B and the multiple rerated 49x to 63x, so the market has already started paying up. Still own it, just size it knowing a lot of the easy repricing is done. |

| PENG | 2.2% | -2.30% | $1,900.59 | Operating margin went 5, 5, 7, 7, 11 percent while revenue grew 48 percent, and EPS nearly doubled from 0.72 to 1.41 in two quarters. ROE jumped 9 to 15 and leverage came down from 1.24 to 0.78, so this is real operating leverage, not balance sheet games. The stock already tripled and 52x is not cheap, but a business inflecting this fast usually outruns the multiple. The negative free cash flow per share is the thing to watch; if the next print does not convert, I am out. |

| LITE | 2.2% | -26.86% | $1,859.38 | This is a textbook margin inflection: operating margin went -15%, -1%, 3%, 10%, 22% across five trailing periods and gross margin climbed from 29% to 44% while revenue nearly doubled. EPS jumped 3.26 to 5.40 and free cash flow per share flipped positive, all while debt/equity collapsed from 3.92 to 1.11 on a rebuilt book value. The 180x trailing P/E looks absurd, but it prices old losses, not the current earnings power. The catch is a 13x market cap move already, so I size it as a solid trend change rather than an undiscovered one. |

| BRCHF | 2.1% | -25.56% | $1,837.47 | The trend and the tape disagree. Revenue went from shrinking to up roughly 72 percent to up nearly fourfold, while net margin repaired from minus 124 to minus 61 to minus 11. Gross margin flipped from negative back to positive, debt to equity is 0.03 and the current ratio is 11.4, so there is no balance sheet risk while they close the gap. Yet market cap halved from 460M to 248M over that same stretch. Still lossmaking and nano cap, so size it small, but the direction of change is unmistakable and unpriced. |

| WRD | 2.1% | -22.60% | $1,784.76 | Revenue up 82% in the latest TTM and gross margin has stepped from 28% to 37% across the recent prints: that is a genuine operating inflection, not noise. Operating margin improved from -376% to -188%, so the loss curve is bending the right way even if profitability is years out. No USD market cap or EPS here, so I am judging purely on margin direction, growth and balance sheet: leverage is tiny at 0.10 D/E. The caution is the current ratio sliding from 11 to 5.4, cash burn is real. Early inflection, sized small. |

| INOD | 2.1% | -22.20% | $1,780.15 | Gross margin has walked from 0.38 to 0.46 across the last four TTM prints while net margin went 12 to 16 percent on 58 percent revenue growth. EPS is building, 1.11 to 1.32, and FCF per share jumped to 5.63 against a book value of 4.89, so the cash is real and not just accruals. Meanwhile the multiple halved from 86 to 48 as market cap fell from 3.1B to 2.1B. Debt/equity is 0.02, so nothing can break. Improving trend into a de-rating is the setup I want; only nag is op margin slipping from 0.19 to 0.17. |

| NBIS | 2.0% | -38.02% | $1,697.22 | The operating inflection is real: gross margin went 51 to 74 percent in four quarters and operating margin compressed its loss from -236 percent to -32 percent while revenue grew nearly seven-fold. That is a business scaling into its capacity, not a story stock. The caveat is that the market already noticed, cap went from 8.5B to 55.8B, and the headline EPS is inflated by non-operating gains while free cash flow is minus 12 per share with debt to equity now 1.31. I stay long the trajectory but size for a buildout that still has to be funded. |

| ASML | 1.9% | -3.11% | $1,645.33 | ASML reports in euros so I am judging margins, returns and leverage, not the multiple. Operating margin has climbed from 0.33 to 0.36 to 0.37 across the last three trailing periods and net margin from 0.28 to 0.31, with gross margin firming back to 0.54. Revenue growth of 21% on top of that expansion is the inflection. Debt to equity has come down from 0.22 to 0.09 and ROE sits near 0.49, so the improvement is not levered. Margin and volume moving together is the setup I want. |

EPS ticked up to 3.03 while the multiple compressed from 96x to 72x and market cap fell from 245B to 197B, so the price de-rated into improving numbers. Leverage is going the right way, D/E 0.36 down to 0.29, current ratio 3.17. Still 72x, so not a fat pitch, but the trend and the de-rating line up favorably. |

Revenue growth at 50 percent with EPS climbing 3.05 to 3.89 sequentially and debt/equity a trivial 0.06 means the balance sheet is not the risk. The 132x P/E and a market cap that has more than doubled off the 337.9B print says a lot is priced, but earnings momentum is still building faster than the multiple assumes. Ride it, size it sensibly. |
