My Notes

• growth - Investors buying automotive semiconductor exposure and AI inference thematic…
• Moderate negative sensitivity through two channels: (1) Higher rates pressure automotive OEM capex and ADAS feature adoption rates…
• Watch on earnings: Global light vehicle production volumes (automotive revenue correlation, watch China and Europe recovery), TSMC 5nm/3nm wafer pricing and allocation (affects gross margins and product roadmap timing), NVIDIA automotive revenue growth (competitive benchmark for ADAS market share trends).
