The Fed’s hawkish pivot has exposed the AI infrastructure rally as a valuation bubble under stress. Technically, memory makers like Micron and SK Hynix are hit hardest, signaling HBM demand may have peaked and diminishing returns in GPU-DRAM co-design.

Strategically, Intel and AMD will likely push cost-efficient alternatives to capture mid-tier customers priced out by NVIDIA, while Samsung leverages vertical integration of AI memory and logic chips. Over the next 12–24 months, a brutal shakeout looms—overvalued AI startups’ IPOs (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI) risk triggering secondary-market backlash, leaving only full-stack-optimized players to survive the correction.
