For context that gap alone is bigger than most Taiwan companies' total revenue. GS sees 37% revenue growth in 2026E slowing to 23% in 2027E. MS has a more gradual ramp. Same thesis very different math. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020847034711031841 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020847034711031841"

"6/ On valuation: 12.4x forward P/E at the low end of a one-year average (11-15x). GS targets 21x which is above the historical high end of 20x. They're arguing the shift from pure EMS to AI servers and EVs justifies a structural re-rate. MS at 18x is more conservative but still wants re-rating from the 7-16x range of the past three years. Bull case NT$444 at 26x. Bear case NT$128 at 7x. Asymmetric if the AI server story plays out"

"7/ Next real test: March [--] earnings call for 4Q25. That's where management gives the full [----] outlook. If AI server acceleration shows up in the segment numbers the re-rating argument gets a lot louder. Risk side: EV subsidiary Foxtron is doing NT$11mn in January revenue vs NT$708mn a year ago. And if GB200/300 ramp stalls the bear case at 7x P/E is real. Don't hold this one.

"4/ COOLING. AVC + Auras AVC: MS sees the ASIC liquid cooling inflection hitting 4Q26. AI ASIC contribution could overtake AI GPU in their cooling mix. Vera Rubin tray thermal value: US$2670 18% above GB300's US$2260. ASIC cooling projects for a major hyperscaler kick off late 2Q26. Auras: record January revenue NT$3042mn (+122% YoY).

Daiwa expects Amazon revenue to reach TWD185bn in [----] (+30% YoY) driven by Trainium [--] demand (4M total units this cycle). MQ raised PT to TWD2100 on 2024-27E EPS CAGR of 67%.

MS OW with 44% earnings CAGR 2024-27 at a PEG of [---]. Cheapest in the stack. Chroma: record January revenue NT$3826mn (+72% YoY). Citi estimates 50% of revenue is now AI-related.

Three of these six held in TWSE Model [--] since Jan 13: - Accton (2345): entry NT$1225 now NT$1450 (+18.4%) - Delta (2308): entry NT$1070 now NT$1260 (+17.8%) - Chenbro (8210): entry NT$927 now NT$975 (+5.2%) The thesis is that AI chips get designed then they need physical infrastructure.
