According to Chaoshang Research, Morgan Stanley’s September 8, 2026 research report indicates that the stablecoin market exceeds $300 billion, tokenized real-world assets surpass $30 billion, and Bitcoin’s market capitalization accounts for approximately 5% of gold’s. Institutional participation is accelerating, yet adoption does not necessarily translate to token price appreciation. Morgan Stanley posits that while blockchain technology may see widespread adoption, the economic benefits are likely to accrue to institutions controlling distribution, custody, and customer relationships. Incumbent institutions will retain client relationships, crypto-native companies will capture infrastructure share, and public protocols must generate sustained token demand to benefit. Professional capital will gradually and selectively flow toward assets with deep liquidity, credible governance, and proven value capture mechanisms.

According to TrendForward research, a Morgan Stanley research report dated September 4, 2026, indicates that hyperscaler data center capital expenditures will reach $1.5 trillion in 2027, a 60% year-over-year increase, before the growth rate drops sharply to 12% in 2028. Total AI compute capacity is expected to expand from 35 gigawatts in 2025 to 145 gigawatts in 2028, representing a fourfold increase. Custom chips will capture a growing share of incremental capacity, rising from 34% to 66%, driven primarily by Google TPUs and Amazon Trainium. GenAI returns on investment range between 25% and 50%, with the model layer delivering the highest returns by running APIs on proprietary infrastructure (approximately 46%). Approximately 25% of S&P 500 companies have quantified GenAI returns, up from 14% a year ago.

According to Chaoshang Research, Morgan Stanley released a Semiconductor Capital Equipment (SPE) industry report on September 7, highlighting seven core debates. Morgan Stanley noted that WFE (wafer fabrication equipment) forecasts continue to be revised upward, but the market is no longer satisfied with the narrative of further capacity expansion. Investors require clearer evidence of AI-related capital returns before they are willing to pay for incremental upside. Morgan Stanley recommends AEIS, MKS, and ONTO, which the market currently prices as peaking in 2027, and maintains a Market Perform rating on the SPE sector.

According to Chaoxiang Research, Morgan Stanley's September 7 report states that the release of GPT-6 Astra is strengthening the AI infrastructure investment narrative. Large models trained on 1 million GPUs and expanded to encompass broad capabilities such as reasoning, engineering, and physical world tasks will expand the AI addressable revenue pool. Morgan Stanley believes that the current risk of underestimating AI investments now outweighs the risk of overestimating them. After investors significantly reduced their AI positions, the market pullback provides a window to reposition.

According to Chaoxiang Research, a Morgan Stanley research report dated September 1, 2026 states that Apple will release its first foldable iPhone on September 9. Initial production volume is set at 7 to 8 million units for the second half of 2026, with the first product cycle potentially reaching 20 million units and contributing approximately $14 billion in revenue solely from the December quarter. The foldable model is expected to carry a starting price of $2,399 (512GB), with every 1% increase in foldable shipment share projected to raise the iPhone average selling price by roughly 1.5 percentage points. The Pro series will experience the steepest price increases: the 256GB iPhone 18 Pro will start at $1,299, an increase of $200 (18%) from the previous generation, while the 256GB Pro Max will start at $1,399, up 17%. It marks the first-time adoption of the 2nm A20 Pro chipset. Leveraging TSMC's 2nm process, which delivers a 10% to 15% performance gain at equivalent power consumption, it supports enhanced on-device AI capabilities and justifies the premium pricing.

According to Chaohiang Research, JPMorgan's September 2 investor meeting minutes for NVIDIA indicate that NVIDIA is "comfortable" with its guidance for 70% year-over-year growth in FY28, and this guidance is supply-constrained rather than demand-constrained; with sufficient supply, the business could grow more than double. Inference has become the largest and expanding segment of the data center business. Eighteen months ago, inference and training each accounted for roughly half, but currently inference exceeds training and will continue to rise. Advanced wafers and memory are the two major supply bottlenecks, and NVIDIA maintains close cooperation with TSMC and the three major memory suppliers. The customer base continues to broaden, with OpenAI and Anthropic currently accounting for approximately 20% of end-user demand, which may approach 25% by FY28; new cloud providers now account for over 50% of AI computing infrastructure. Open-source and closed-source models will coexist, and gross margins for model developers are improving. NVIDIA supports long-term demand through revenue sharing, the PORTS-Pike campus, and a $500 billion private capital financing platform. Morgan Stanley maintains an Overweight rating with a price target of $320, based on approximately 20x the expected CY2026 EPS of $15.87.
