Odaily News AI chip startup Groq has completed a $350 million funding round, but the company's valuation has dropped to $3.5 billion—about half of what it was nearly a year ago. The round was led by Dallas-based investment firm Disruptive, with NVIDIA also participating. Founded in 2016, Groq was once considered one of the key competitors to NVIDIA in the AI chip space, focusing on developing specialized hardware for AI computing. The company is now transitioning into an AI data center operator, with a primary focus on serving AI model inference needs. (Bloomberg)
According to TechFlow Research, a Bank of America research report on August 10 pointed out that NVIDIA signed a memorandum of understanding with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital through an independent platform. Previously, NVIDIA invested approximately $70 billion in equity in ecosystem partners such as OpenAI and Anthropic, accounting for only 15% of the expected free cash flow of $470 billion from 2026 to 2027, without affecting the commitment to return 50% of free cash flow to shareholders. Bank of America believes the financing structure shifts the capital burden from NVIDIA to the consortium. GPU computing power can be transferred across operators, and CUDA extends the service life, with the asset quality itself resisting depreciation. The $500 billion fund pool allows non-investment grade buyers to acquire GPUs at preferential rates, transforming AI computing power acquisition from capital-intensive purchases to financial leasing, supporting the $1.7 trillion AI system TAM by 2030. Bank of America maintains a Buy rating with a target price of $350, corresponding to 26 times the expected earnings per share in 2027. The upcoming earnings conference call is the next important catalyst.

Odaily News, Citrini analyst jukan posted on X platform, according to TrendForce's latest memory industry research, the DRAM supply shortage is expected to persist through 2027, and the HBM4e certification timeline remains uncertain. NVIDIA has been reassessing the HBM configuration for Rubin Ultra since the third quarter of 2026.The original plan called for a 12-layer stacked HBM4e configuration, but NVIDIA is currently evaluating multiple designs in parallel, including HBM4e 8-layer stacking, HBM4 12-layer stacking, and HBM4 8-layer stacking, with the final specifications yet to be confirmed. In addition to NVIDIA, some CSPs are reportedly also considering reducing HBM capacity for their next-generation custom ASICs.From 2025 to the first half of 2026, NVIDIA used 12-layer stacked HBM4e as the baseline design for Rubin Ultra. However, since the beginning of the third quarter of 2026, NVIDIA has begun reviewing lower-spec alternatives. TrendForce attributes this change to two major supply-side constraints: first, the overall DRAM shortage expected in 2027 will limit the wafer capacity that memory manufacturers can allocate to HBM production; second, uncertainty remains regarding the certification timeline for 12-layer stacked HBM4e and the pace of yield improvement in mass production.TrendForce stated that NVIDIA's primary focus for the Rubin Ultra generation is improving I/O speed, with expanding GPU shipments as a secondary priority. If NVIDIA ultimately decides to downgrade the HBM specifications, it is expected to do so by reducing the number of DRAM stacking layers. Whether HBM4e can complete certification and enter mass production as planned will determine whether Rubin Ultra's I/O speed can be improved from the previous generation Rubin's 8 to 11.7Gbps to 14 to 16Gbps, or be maintained at 11 to 12Gbps through an optimized HBM4 design. Within the same product generation, the number of DRAM stacking layers determines the trade-off between HBM capacity per GPU and the number of GPUs that can be shipped.TrendForce also believes that the final configuration will depend on wafer allocation decisions made by memory manufacturers. On the supply-demand front, HBM bit shipments in 2027 are expected to grow 50% to 60% year-over-year, but are still projected to fall short of demand growth. With supply constraints persisting, HBM suppliers are expected to maintain pricing power throughout 2027. The industry has broadly anticipated significant HBM price increases, and AI chip makers will face the dual pressure of limited HBM supply and rising procurement costs, further strengthening the incentive to adopt lower HBM capacity configurations.

According to Chaoxiang Research, UBS released a SemiBytes Flash Note on July 20, 2026, judging that the semiconductor sector is transitioning from a broad-based rally to a phase of severe divergence, while the AI-themed crowded trade continues. The report covers five core topics. The release of Kimi K3 drives another upgrade in open-source model scale; longer context windows boost demand for HBM and storage, with NVIDIA being the biggest beneficiary. Micron's cumulative free cash flow over the next few years is expected to exceed $400 billion; after the buyback ban is lifted, the theoretical buyback ratio could exceed 40%, which is not yet fully priced in by the market. Divergence within the analog chip sector is intensifying; stocks with higher AI exposure have gained a 42x P/E premium, while valuations for stocks with automotive and industrial exposure remain near historical averages. Position crowding data shows that Lam Research, Broadcom, Seagate, Micron, and AMD remain in a state of extreme long positioning crowding.
