Thanks man. Is there any layer which is still undiscovered by market. I wish I had this a year ago.

I heard SpaceX is building data centers in Space as soon as 2027. any concerns from that angel?

he calls himself a deep research high conviction guy but has been selling quite a bit of his portfolio with less than one month of holding.

thanks, hoping this comes to fruition

STW is piece of shite. He makes his subscribers feel like shite all the time they ask a question. also he said he is a long term investor with conviction but started selling first sign of trouble.

is this new announcement or one from before? wouldnt market react positively to this. i didnt see much reaction today on it.

Arete Research bumps the share price target to 380

THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY -- THE FORGOTTEN SEMICONDUCTORS

HIGH RISK, HIGH-VOLATILITY, SMALL-CAP -- SIZE APPROPRIATELY

A lot of former SPACs have seen their return to fame in the last few years, many rallying from $1-3 per share to double digits in short-order. Some are shitcos, some aren't. For the most part, they have been narrative-driven. Some have been value-driven. But, there are some are *BOTH* interesting thematically and fundamentally.

I think Valen Semiconductor $VLN is one of those stocks.

THEMATIC RELEVANCE: Valen fits into the Edge AI + Robotics basket we are building, VLN is a sensor-data connectivity company for edge-AI systems. In robotics, that means it can help move high-resolution camera data from the robot’s “eyes” to the robot’s “brain”.

I would view it as *complementary* to SYNA / OSS / VPG / CTS, and not redundant. $SYNA is closer to edge processors, wireless connectivity & human-machine interface. $OSS is rugged edge compute. $VPG and $CTS are physical-world sensing, measurement & actuation. $VLN would add the high-bandwidth “nervous system” layer *between sensors and compute*, so it almost fits seamlessly.

VLN’s key edge-AI/robotics asset is VA7000, its MIPI A-PHY-compliant SerDes chipset family. A-PHY is a long-reach serializer/deserializer physical-layer interface originally developed for automotive ADAS/ADS and surround-sensor applications. It supports high-speed unidirectional data, embedded bidirectional control data & optional power delivery. It has potential applications in advanced robotics as robotics is moving from simple automation toward perception-heavy automation. Robots increasingly need to understand their surroundings. That requires cameras and sensors feeding AI models.

FUNDAMENTAL VALUE: The stock, although burning cash, is *extremely cheap*. It trades at **1.7x CASH, 1.5x book, and 1.0x EV/sales**... *Any* positive news of *any* kind could force an immediate rerating. This is a basement valuation that is pricing zero optimism and zero expectations. That presents a compelling risk-reward.

NO IMMEDIATE SOLVENCY RISK: Yes, the company is burning some cash. Operating cash flow was negative $12.7 million in FY2025. Nonetheless, solvency & bankruptcy risk are extremely low. The company has too much cash relative to current liabilities, no traditional debt, no maturity wall, and disclosed liquidity sufficient for at least twelve months. On the latest numbers, it has roughly $92.6 million of cash/deposits against $22.9 million of current liabilities with current assets of $118.7 million, and shareholders’ equity of $105.0 million.

Layman's logic tree:

1. Edge-AI systems need more cameras and sensors.
2. More cameras create more high-bandwidth data transport problems.
3. Centralized compute architectures make long, robust sensor links more valuable.
4. Robotics, industrial vehicles, medical imaging, and ADAS all need reliable low-latency video.
5. VLN has relevant standards leadership through HDBaseT and MIPI A-PHY.
6. VA7000 can be repurposed beyond automotive into industrial vision, medical, video conferencing, and robotics.
7. If A-PHY becomes broadly adopted, VLN could benefit from early technical credibility and ecosystem position.

The chart since inception is obviously not pretty at first glance. It's been beaten down for years. But, that's precisely what presents an interesting risk-reward profile. There are signs of bottoming. On the daily chart, the stock has reclaimed its 9/21EMAs and is tucked underneath the 200-day. On the weekly, the stock has also reclaimed the 9/21EMAs and is tucked underneath the 50-week. This is the moving average "pinch" that I discuss on many of my live streams <#1441560421822627860>

Because of the great cushion I've built so far this year by more than doubling the portfolio, I am going to take some risk here. This name will join the EDGE AI + ROBOTICS basket. I'm taking a 5.5% position in *all shares* in $VLN @1.57 <@&933985135391547462>

good market day but NBIS tanking. still heavily invested on this.

Why do you prefer SOUND. Would be great to hear your input
