  • The semiconductor industry has been hit hard by the recent trade war and tariff announcements, with stocks like Micron Technology plunging. However, Micron is well-positioned to benefit from the AI boom and its status as a domestic manufacturer gives it an advantage.

  • Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has underperformed the market in recent years, but CEO Lisa Su believes the company is on a 'steep long-term growth trajectory' driven by its data center AI business. If AMD can double its revenue as Su forecasts, it could be a catalyst for the stock. However, investors should be cautious as economic conditions may slow, and AMD's profit margins and valuation need to improve for it to be a good long-term buy.
