UBS: Broadcom tweaks AI guidance, NVIDIA extends to infrastructure, Terafab starts construction
According to Chaoxiang Research, on August 24, UBS released a SemiBytes Industry Flash Review, highlighting three synchronized key tracks: Broadcom, NVIDIA, and Terafab under SpaceX. Broadcom is set to release its Q2 earnings report on September 2. UBS forecasts third-quarter AI revenue of approximately $16 billion, rising to $21–22 billion in the fourth quarter. The firm has lowered its 2027 AI revenue projection from roughly $135 billion to $130 billion, slightly adjusted its target price from $485 to $470, and maintained a Buy rating. Anthropic contributed approximately $2.5 billion in Q3, while Google Cloud AI revenue saw a quarter-over-quarter increase of around $2 billion. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang disclosed that the company's business model is expanding into compute infrastructure, with a $1.5 billion investment in SB Energy via the PORTS-Pike project and up to $105 billion in credit support to assist OpenAI in securing 4.25 GW of land and power facilities. UBS believes land, power, and fabs are emerging as strategic inputs for the AI supply chain. On the Terafab front, Tesla's recruiting portal listed 44 relevant positions in July spanning all major semiconductor manufacturing processes. The appearance of memory design and integration engineering roles confirms internal memory fabrication intentions. Satellite imagery of the Grimes County, Texas campus shows the project is still in its early stages, with only site-clearing operations visible.

UBS Raises S&P 500 Target, Bullish on AI and Earnings Growth Extending the Rally

UBS: Murata Factory Visit Confirms 20% Production Increase Potential, Profit Margin Expected to Nearly Double
According to TechFlow Research, UBS pointed out in its research report on August 18 that Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s Fukui Takefu Plant opened to market visits for the first time in about 20 years. This plant is the mother factory for advanced MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors), mainly supplying AI servers and high-end smartphones. Murata's global market share is approximately 35%. UBS confirmed three key pieces of information: technical barriers remain substantial, existing equipment still has about 20% potential for production increase through yield improvement and process optimization, and physical capacity expansion is approaching its limits. UBS maintains a Buy rating on Murata, with a target price of 13,200 yen. UBS believes that against the backdrop of limited new capacity construction and extended lead times for in-house equipment components, tapping into the potential of existing equipment is more certain than adding new production lines. Murata is transferring general-purpose products overseas, while domestic Japan plants focus on advanced products such as high capacitance and small size. The product mix upgrade will drive the operating profit margin to climb from 15.4% in fiscal year 2026 to 37.6% in fiscal year 2029. UBS assesses that the industry structure is expected to improve over the next 6 months, and there is a possibility of an upward revision in earnings guidance around October 31.

Serenity: The AI Supply Chain Boom Is Far From Over, With Storage, Packaging, and Power Sectors Poised for Long-Term Demand Surge
Odaily News "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity shared insights on the AI industry chain on the X platform, noting that AI infrastructure demand is driving multiple sectors—including storage, advanced packaging, computing power financing, optical communications, power supply, and electronic components—into a long-term expansion cycle. The AI supply chain remains in a phase of rapid growth.In the storage sector, Serenity cited UBS forecasts indicating that traditional DRAM manufacturers (such as Micron) could see gross margins reach an unprecedented 95% by 2027, potentially even surpassing the gross margin levels of HBM products. Additionally, SanDisk's long-term agreements already cover approximately two-thirds of its 2028 production capacity, with minimum contracted revenue reaching $93 billion. Given its current market cap of around $239 billion, this suggests its future revenue targets could persist for years, making it difficult to simply classify the company as a traditional cyclical stock.On the cloud computing infrastructure front, CoreWeave has signed agreements to use Nvidia A100 GPUs through 2029. This is a positive development for emerging cloud computing companies such as Nebius and Iren, and it also weakens some investors' bearish thesis centered on the rapid depreciation of older GPUs.AI model companies are also continuing to grow at a pace that exceeds expectations. Frontier AI labs are still maintaining extremely rapid growth rates, and a slowdown in growth would actually be a cause for concern. The market projects that Anthropic's 2028 revenue could reach $190 billion to $200 billion.However, advanced packaging and semiconductor infrastructure remain core bottlenecks. The head of advanced packaging at TSMC has stated that in the coming years, the industry may face not only memory shortages but also tight supply of ABF substrates.Serenity concluded that the AI infrastructure supply chain is continuously expanding. From GPUs, storage, and advanced packaging to power, optical communications, and electronic components, every segment is showing a long-term demand growth trend. The AI supply chain is still in a high-speed development stage.

UBS reported $7.3 trillion in total managed investment assets, with the IBIT position accounting for less than 0.02% of its 13F assets. The 13F filing discloses a portion of U.S. securities managed under the company's investment decision-making authority. The shares primarily correspond to client assets held in wealth management, investment advisory, or asset management accounts, and do not represent UBS investing $90 million of its own corporate funds in Bitcoin.

UBS: Micron HBM Tighter Than Expected, NAND Short-Term Noise Does Not Alter Long-Term Buy Thesis
According to TechFlow Research, UBS noted in its August 10 research report that Micron's Q3 NAND contract price increase fell from an expected 28% to around 20%, but DRAM is tighter than expected. HBM4 and HBM4E pricing continues to exceed expectations; NVIDIA downgraded the HBM specifications for VR300 due to supply constraints, yet total HBM consumption in 2027 instead increased from 58.7 billion Gb to 61.5 billion Gb, and the HBM blended average price year-over-year increase was raised from 67% to 79%. Micron's 2027 HBM revenue is expected to reach $26.35 billion, with ASP rising from $20.03 per Gb to $28.48. UBS maintains a Buy rating with a target price of $1,625; the current stock price of $877 implies approximately 85% upside potential. DRAM supply tightness will last at least until Q2 2028; NAND short-term pricing pace slows but enterprise SSD demand offsets consumer-end weakness. YMTC is shifting some incremental capacity to DRAM rather than NAND, which will extend the NAND pricing cycle. UBS believes Micron's profitability is a structural reset, with cumulative free cash flow by 2028 expected to exceed $450 billion.

The on-chain tokenized asset market is expected to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, while Standard Chartered projects Chainlink will hit $200 by the end of 2030
Odaily News: Standard Chartered initiated coverage on Monday of blockchain oracle project Chainlink, projecting LINK to reach $200 by the end of 2030 — roughly 25 times its current price of around $8. The bank's phased targets are $13 by the end of this year, followed by $41, $82, and $133. Standard Chartered estimates that the on-chain tokenized asset market will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, with DeFi-deployed assets hitting $2.7 trillion by 2030 — a 37-fold increase from current levels. The bank expects Chainlink fees to grow approximately 25-fold over the same period, assuming token prices track fee growth. Chainlink secures over $110 billion in total value, covering approximately 70% of the value that global DeFi relies on from oracles, with a share exceeding 80% on Ethereum; Aave V3 accounts for 44% of that. Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS, Fidelity, and S&P Global are all listed as institutions using its services. Chainlink still lags behind LayerZero in cross-chain interoperability. Following the $292 million attack in April, over $7 billion in token value has migrated to Chainlink CCIP, with second-quarter transaction volume reaching $4.9 billion — up 353% year-over-year. Risks include slowing institutional tokenization, pilots not converting to production processes, and technical failures impacting confidence. (Decrypt)

UBS: SK Hynix 1.66x P/B Ratio Implies ROE Less Than 20%, Actually Can Earn 40%
According to TechFlow Research, UBS pointed out in its research report on July 29 that SK Hynix's stock price has fallen 52% from its high on June 22, with a current price-to-book ratio of only 1.66x, implying a long-term ROE of 18.9%. However, UBS predicts the average ROE from 2027 to 2031 will reach 40.2%, a difference of 21 percentage points between the two. DRAM bit demand growth is expected to increase from 22% in 2026 to 36% in 2027, HBM capacity will increase from 230,000 wafers/month at the end of 2026 to 270,000 wafers/month at the end of 2027, and SK Hynix will maintain a 48% shipment share in the HBM industry in 2026. UBS believes the market valuation downward revision lacks basis, AI agents are driving accelerated memory demand, 10 long-term agreements have been signed, and although LTAs suppress ASP in the short term, they benefit profit margins in the long term. UBS maintains a Buy rating, lowering the target price from 3.2 million Korean won to 3 million Korean won, expects to launch a share buyback of about 12 trillion Korean won in the second half of 2026, and will use 50% of free cash flow for shareholder returns in the long term.

BIS-Led Project Agorá Completes Million-Dollar Cross-Border Tokenized Payment Test
According to CoinDesk, Project Agorá, led by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), recently completed a cross-border payment test with real funds. Participants included 28 commercial banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Standard Chartered, as well as five central banks. The test processed approximately $1 million (about 800,000 Swiss francs) in real transactions, covering six currencies: the US dollar, euro, pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and South Korean won. The test utilized tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits, settling funds on a shared ledger with an average settlement time of about 80 seconds. Unlike traditional cross-border payments that require intermediation by multiple correspondent banks, the platform achieved shared single ownership records and supports synchronized settlement of bilateral foreign exchange, effectively reducing principal risk. The BIS stated that the platform can operate in parallel with existing payment systems, rather than replacing them.
