Summary · why it matters

MLCC concept stocks saw a collective spike during the trading session on July 27, with Fenghua Advanced Technology hitting its daily limit up. On the news front, Samsung Electro-Mechanics recently announced it has signed a contract to supply MLCCs for AI servers with a major global company. The contract is valued at approximately 295.12 billion Korean won, or 204 million US dollars, with the supply period covering the full year of 2027. This marks the second consecutive month that Samsung Electro-Mechanics has secured such a large order. Previously, on June 30, it disclosed an AI server MLCC supply contract worth about 450 billion Korean won. The two orders total roughly 750 billion Korean won, or about 510 million US dollars. Industry insiders say such a dense cluster of large-scale, long-term MLCC supply contracts is relatively rare in the industry, reflecting tight supply and demand for high-end passive components used in AI servers. From an industry fundamentals perspective, MLCCs are in an upward price cycle, with high-capacitance products particularly in short supply. Prices have risen three to five times, and delivery lead times have lengthened. Murata Manufacturing plans to invest a total of 250 billion Japanese yen to expand production capacity for products seeing growing demand, such as those for servers. Samsung Electro-Mechanics also plans to build a new factory in the Philippines to expand its server-grade MLCC capacity. A report from the China Electronic Components Association shows that the global MLCC market is expected to reach approximately 134.1 billion yuan in 2026, a year-on-year increase of about 16.5 percent, with mainland Chinese MLCC manufacturers holding roughly 10.2 percent of the global share.

IREN Fair Value Trimmed to US$79.03 as AI Cloud Wins Meet Build Out Risks

IREN's fair value estimate has been trimmed from US$80.93 to US$79.03, a modest adjustment reflecting a mix of growing AI cloud contracts and ongoing questions around execution and supply build out through 2027. The revision lifts revenue growth assumptions to 168.01% from 125.79% and net profit margin expectations to 11.73% from 5.79%, while the future P/E assumption drops to 31.26x from 90.29x and the discount rate rises to 9.41% from 8.83%. On the bullish side, JPMorgan shifted IREN from Underweight to Overweight with a US$65 price target, citing a partnership with Nvidia, new customer signings and higher industry pricing, while H.C. Wainwright raised its target to US$90 after IREN announced US$2.8b of new multi year AI cloud contracts and lifted its 2026 AI cloud annual recurring revenue target to more than US$4b. Northland initiated IREN at Outperform with a US$99 price target, and Freedom Capital upgraded the stock from Hold to Buy. Freedom Capital nonetheless flagged execution on supply additions over the next two years as a central risk, noting the story depends heavily on adding capacity on schedule.

Nvidia-Backed Nscale Files for US IPO After $1.02 Billion Loss

Nscale, the London-based AI data center developer backed by Nvidia and Microsoft, filed publicly for an initial public offering in New York, seeking to raise as much as $3 billion. The company reported a net loss of $1.02 billion on revenue of $140.6 million for the six months ended June 30, compared with a net loss of $368.9 million on revenue of $10.4 million a year earlier, according to its Friday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Spun off from a cryptocurrency mining operation in early 2024, Nscale was valued at about $14.6 billion in a March Series C round led by Aker ASA and 8090 Industries, with Nvidia and Nokia Oyj also participating. The company has agreed to add more than 30,000 Nvidia chips to an existing rental agreement with Microsoft at its Narvik, Norway gigafactory, and Anthropic has agreed to spend $45 billion to rent AI cloud computing power from its flagship West Virginia data center development. The offering is being led by Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, with shares expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol NSCL.

Goldman Sachs Warns S&P 500 Earnings Growth Set to Cool

Goldman Sachs Group expects the rapid rise in S&P 500 earnings to cool rather than reverse, saying several temporary forces are currently lifting profits. S&P 500 earnings per share rose 51% year over year in the second quarter, with growth over the past four quarters reaching 26%, a pace the firm said has pushed profits above their longer-term trend, though the index's forward price-to-earnings ratio has eased to 19 from 23 a year ago and now matches its 10-year average. Artificial intelligence spending is a major contributor, with Amazon, Meta Platforms, Microsoft and Alphabet expected to spend about $800 billion on capital projects this year, nearly double 2025 levels, and Goldman expects that earnings boost to fade as spending growth slows and depreciation rises. Semiconductor margins and gains from technology companies' investment holdings are also supporting earnings, and Goldman said weaker chip margins could cut S&P 500 earnings by about 10%, while investment gains that helped second-quarter profits are expected to contribute less in 2027.
