When Nvidia Rises 4%, This AI Big Tech Gains 8%?

Yesterday (15th), the S&P 500 and Dow Jones declined, but the Nasdaq reached a record high. The gain was largely driven by Nvidia, which rose 4% after the U.S. government approved resumed chip sales to China, boosting the broader tech sector. Interestingly, as Nvidia gained 4%, one Big Tech company jumped even higher—8%.One-Week Snapshot: China's AI GiantsAlibaba ADR (BABA) rose approximately 8.1% yesterday (15th). It wasn't alone—other U.S.-listed Chinese tech giants, including Tencent (TCEHY) and Baidu (BIDU), joined the surge. The common denominator? AI. At SellSmart, we're focused specifically on Alibaba. Why Alibaba? Globally recognized for e-commerce platforms like Taobao and AliExpress, Alibaba’s primary growth drivers—often overlooked by investors—are AI and cloud computing. Alibaba recently announced plans to invest approximately 380 billion yuan (around $53 billion) into cloud and AI infrastructure over the next three years, strategically expanding beyond e-commerce into logistics and fintech. In March, Alibaba released its open-source chatbot "QwQ-32B," followed in June by "Qwen VLo," a multimodal AI model enabling image generation—clear signals of aggressive moves into AI innovation.Year-to-Date Returns for China’s Big Tech AI TrioThe standout from Alibaba's Q1 2025 earnings was its rapidly growing Cloud Intelligence segment. Revenue jumped 18% year-over-year to 30.13 billion yuan, surpassing market expectations (29.9 billion yuan). Most notably, AI-driven revenue maintained triple-digit growth for the seventh consecutive quarter, underscoring Alibaba’s accelerating competitiveness in AI infrastructure and solutions. While overall revenue slightly missed forecasts—totaling 236.45 billion yuan versus 239.7 billion expected—adjusted EBITA came in strong at 32.62 billion yuan, exceeding market consensus (31.85 billion yuan). Momentum: Expanding AI ecosystem through collaboration with AppleApple needs AI capabilities to remain competitive in China but can only integrate AI approved by Chinese regulators into its "Apple Intelligence" ecosystem. On June 16, just four months after announcing their partnership, Alibaba released its Qwen-3 model optimized for Apple’s MLX machine learning framework. This positions Alibaba’s Qwen-3 to expand its AI footprint across China’s entire Apple ecosystem—including iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks. What is Qwen-3?Qwen-3, announced on April 29 this year, is Alibaba’s latest large language model (LLM).Its largest variant, Qwen-3-235B, outperformed models such as OpenAI’s o1, o3-mini-medium, DeepSeek R1, and Grok 3-Thinking in benchmark tests.The smaller Qwen-3 30B-A3B model demonstrated benchmark performance surpassing Gemma3, Deepseek-v3, and GPT-4o.Trained on roughly 36 trillion tokens and supporting 119 languages, Qwen-3 leverages a hybrid thinking mode—carefully processing complex tasks for greater accuracy, and rapidly responding to simpler queries, significantly boosting efficiency. Expanding Cloud InfrastructureChina's cloud infrastructure services are dominated by Alibaba, Huawei, and Tencent, holding market shares of 33%, 18%, and 10%, respectively. Alibaba’s cloud-related revenues grew by 15% year-over-year, while Tencent faced stagnation due to GPU supply constraints and internal prioritization of AI chips. Alibaba is expanding its regional infrastructure, opening its third data center in Malaysia in early July, with plans to launch a second data center in the Philippines by October—addressing growing AI demand across Southeast Asia. Wrapping UpThe resumed exports of Nvidia’s H20 chips to China present a pivotal momentum boost for Alibaba, which is strategically centering its growth around AI and cloud infrastructure. With Qwen-3 now integrated into Apple's ecosystem, Alibaba is positioned to gain significant ground in China's AI leadership race. In an environment marked by technological regulation and geopolitical tension, Alibaba’s dual focus on strong financial results and global partnerships makes it a company to watch closely.[Compliance Note]All posts by Sellsmart are for informational purposes only.

K-Demon Hunters Goes Global — The Surprise Beneficiary? Nongshim

There is a song trending on Spotify right nowThe OST tracks “Your Idol” and “Golden” from K-pop Demon Hunters are gaining serious attention.These songs ranked number 1 and 2 on Spotify’s US Daily Top Songs chartGolden entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 23and the soundtrack album reached number 3 on the Billboard 200With this much buzz around the OST, it is natural for attention to turn to entertainment stocksBut the stock we are highlighting today is not HYBE or YGIt is the unexpected beneficiary—Nongshim HoldingsA global sensation that started with zero expectationsK-pop Demon Hunters, or KDHH, is an original animation produced by Sony Pictures. It follows the story of Huntress, a K-pop girl group trio—Lumi, Mira, and Joy—who moonlight as demon hunters behind the stage.Expectations were low before its release. In fact, close to zero.The premise—a Korean idol group created by a Japanese studio under American financing—reminded many of past Western attempts to mash up East Asian culture, often ending in failure.But once the film was released, the response was overwhelming.· Charming character designs inspired by jakhodo art· Detailed depictions of Korean food culture like ramen, gimbap, and hotteok· An OST that captured the full spirit of K-pop· Small cultural touches, like using tissue paper as a chopstick rest at restaurantsEven the subtlest details, instantly recognizable to Korean viewers, were faithfully portrayed.The result? Global fans praised it as “authentically Korean.”And the numbers followed:· Ranked No. 1 globally in Netflix’s film category during its first week· Hit No. 1 in 41 countries, including the US, Germany, and Thailand· Dance moves from the film’s fictional idol group became real K-pop dance challengesThis led to a second wave of content spreading across platforms.Netflix and Sony were caught off guard by the success and scrambled to produce official merchandiseMeanwhile, a jakhodo-inspired badge from the National Museum of Korea sold out as an unofficial “fan good.”Nongshim Keeps Popping Up in K-Demon HuntersAs you watch the film, certain elements start to stand out.The spicy chips that lead character Joy eats look strikingly similar to Shrimp Crackers.The cup ramen eaten by Huntress members is branded “Dongshim” and features a large red character “Shin,” clearly reminiscent of Shin Ramyun. Even the instructions—“pour hot water and wait three minutes”—match the real product.Ahead of the film’s release, Netflix held a promotional event in New York City, handing out instant ramen to passersby.What makes this even more interesting is that Nongshim had no official PPL or sponsorship deal with K-pop Demon Hunters.The film’s global success has unintentionally delivered Nongshim a wave of free international exposure.K-Content? The Formula That Drives Real-World SalesThere have been past cases where K-content led directly to consumer spending.The 2020 Oscar-winning film Parasite is a prime example of K-content driving global consumption.The appearance of “Chapaguri” in the film caught international audiences by surprise. In the month following the film’s release, Nongshim’s overseas sales of Chapagetti more than doubled year over year, reaching approximately 1.5 million dollars.In March, BLACKPINK’s Jennie mentioned Banana Kick and Shrimp Crackers as her favorite snacks on The Jennifer Hudson Show. Just four days later, Nongshim’s market cap jumped by 260 billion KRW—an example of the “five-second magic” effect in action.This isn’t new. K-content has repeatedly influenced real consumer behavior abroad, translating into tangible gains in both revenue and stock price.K-pop Demon Hunters also features recurring elements that closely resemble Nongshim products, suggesting a similar ripple effect in global consumer markets may follow.Nongshim vs. Nongshim Holdings — Why the Real Play Is the Holding Company(This is Nongshim’s Instagram post from today, the 11th. Could it be hinting at a K-Demon Hunters collaboration?)Then why not just buy Nongshim directly? Why bother with Nongshim Holdings?Here’s why it matters.Recent momentum in the Korean stock market, fueled by this year’s amendment to the Commercial Act and the upcoming expansion of separate dividend taxation, has sparked a revaluation of low-PBR stocks. Holding companies have been leading that move.As the holding company of Nongshim, Nongshim Holdings reflects:· The earnings and brand exposure benefits of Nongshim· A currently low PBR· A relatively high dividend yield· And direct upside from policies aimed at improving holding company structuresThis is not just a case of “moving with the group.”Nongshim Holdings is a rare combination of undervaluation, dividend strength, and structure that aligns perfectly with what today’s market is rewarding most.In ClosingNetflix’s K-pop Demon Hunters delivered an unexpected global hit.Korean food products—especially Nongshim’s ramen and Shrimp Crackers—were naturally embedded in the content, building emotional familiarity and triggering consumer interest among international viewers.From Parasite in 2020, to Squid Game in 2021, and now K-pop Demon Hunters in 2025,K-content driving real-world consumption and stock price momentum is no longer a coincidence—it is a repeatable pattern.If you can’t invest in the content itself, why not ride the consumption trend it creates?Now is the time to take a closer look at Nongshim Holdings, the unexpected beneficiary.[Compliance Note]All posts by Sellsmart are for informational purposes only.

Nvidia Breaks $4 Trillion—And Flashes a Rare Triple Signal

Nvidia Flashes Three Simultaneous Bullish Signals A $4T milestone backed by a rare technical convergenceOn July 9, 2025, Nvidia (NVDA) sent a clear message to markets: not only did it become the most valuable public company in the world—it also triggered three major technical signals on the same day: • Demarker(14) broke above 0.7• Donchian(20) closed above the 20-day high• CMO (Chande Momentum Oscillator) crossed above 50Each of these indicators alone suggests upside potential. But when they fire together, the story shifts: we’re not just seeing a short-term rally—we may be watching a new trend take hold.From Deepseek Fears to Global No.1Just months ago, Nvidia’s stock was under pressure. Fears of reduced AI capex (sparked by Deepseek) and renewed U.S.-China trade tensions weighed heavily. Now, Nvidia has touched an unprecedented $4 trillion in market cap—becoming the first to do so in history.While headlines focused on Nvidia overtaking Apple and Microsoft, what’s equally notable is the technical picture forming beneath that surge. Demarker(14) > 0.7Entering the overbought zoneThis indicator measures buying pressure by comparing recent highs and lows. While a reading above 0.7 is traditionally seen as “overbought,” Nvidia’s recent price behavior suggests strength, not fragility.Recent triggers: July 9, June 24, June 17Avg. return 1 month after trigger: +6.3%Top 25% outcomes: +13.5%Bottom 25%: -2.9%Win rate: 69.9% Donchian(20) BreakoutBreaking the one-month highThis trend-following indicator signals when price closes above the highest point of the past 20 days. It often marks the point where even conservative, late-entry traders begin participating.• Recent triggers: July 9, July 3, June 24• Avg. return 1 month after trigger: +5.3%• Top 25%: +11.9%• Bottom 25%: -1.7%• Win rate: 68.1% CMO > 50Momentum turning bullishCMO compares the strength of up days versus down days. A break above 50 typically suggests a shift toward upward momentum.• Recent triggers: July 9, July 7, June 26• Avg. return 1 month after trigger: +4.0%• Top 25%: +10.7%• Bottom 25%: -4.0%• Win rate: 61.4% A Triple Convergence That MattersEach signal comes from a different angle:• Demarker = market sentiment• Donchian = price trend• CMO = momentum strength When all three align on the same day, it’s not random—it’s a signal that the underlying market dynamics are synchronizing.Over the past decade, Demarker(14) > 0.7 has occurred 212 times. Its track record holds. Combine that with Donchian breakouts and momentum confirmation from CMO, and this isn’t just noise—it’s structure. Bottom Line: A Setup, Not a SpikeThis isn’t necessarily a “buy now or miss out” moment. But it may be the beginning of a new mid-term bullish cycle for Nvidia.Three signals. Three mechanisms. One direction.Technical analysis doesn’t predict the future. But when signals align, it gives you better odds—and better timing—for when to pay attention.[Compliance Note]All posts by Sellsmart are for informational purposes only.

The New Front in AI: Compute Gigafactories and the Invisible Winners

The New Front in AI: Compute Gigafactories and the Infrastructure Behind the RacexAI’s Colossus, now under construction in Memphis, is more than just another data center. Dubbed a “gigafactory of compute,” the facility represents a turning point: the AI industry’s shift toward full-stack physical control.But xAI isn’t alone. Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Google, and Nvidia are all rapidly building their own AI supercomputing hubs. The reason? Winning in AI now depends less on having the best model—and more on owning the infrastructure to train it.Training frontier models like GPT-5 or Claude 3 requires not just GPUs, but vast arrays of stable power, advanced cooling, and high-throughput networking. Software alone no longer wins. Compute scale, speed, and control are becoming the true moat.Unexpected Winners: Servers and Power ProvidersThis infrastructure race is lifting companies that most AI investors overlook.Super Micro (SMCI) is emerging as the dominant builder of AI server systems. Already producing most H100 and B100-based configurations for Nvidia, it’s the go-to for large-scale, liquid-cooled GPU clusters. Projects like xAI’s Colossus and Saudi’s DataVolt have made it the de facto standard for AI server design.Arista Networks, Vertiv, Broadcom are also benefiting from exploding demand in networking switches, power equipment, and thermal management.But compute is meaningless without energy.NextEra Energy (NEE) is betting big on this. As the largest renewable energy provider in the U.S., it’s aggressively expanding AI-focused power purchase agreements (PPAs), backed by solar, wind, and nuclear. It already manages over 31GW and plans to add 36–46GW by 2030.Schneider Electric and Eaton are essential players behind the scenes, ensuring energy stability and power quality—critical in high-density AI compute environments. But There’s Friction AheadProjects like Colossus are drawing backlash over emissions and local impact. xAI’s use of temporary methane generators has already sparked environmental concern. As these facilities scale, resistance from regulators and communities will grow.That’s why infrastructure firms with green energy credentials and efficient cooling tech are becoming preferred partners in this new ecosystem. Conclusion: Big Tech’s Energy War Has BegunThe AI race is entering its next phase: compute dominance. This battle won’t be won by algorithms alone—but by those who can deliver power, cooling, and scale.In the next decade, the real winners of AI may not be chipmakers—but the companies that keep the chips running.[Compliance Note]All posts by Sellsmart are for informational purposes only.

Meta’s Scale AI Bet Just Sparked the Data War—Here Come the Winners

Meta’s Scale AI Deal Shakes Up the Data Supply ChainMeta’s recent $10 billion investment in Scale AI, securing a 49% stake, is more than a bet on infrastructure—it’s a bid for leverage in the global AI race.At first glance, the deal looks like a classic capital injection. But the real impact lies beneath: Meta is reshaping the AI data ecosystem from the inside out. What Is Scale AI?Scale AI is a leading provider of high-quality data labeling services for training large language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF).Its platform specializes in human-in-the-loop tasks like evaluating responses, scoring language fluency, and flagging ethical risks—critical components in fine-tuning models like GPT or Gemini.Clients have included OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and xAI—until now. Why Are AI Giants Backing Away?Meta’s strategic alignment with Scale AI raised red flags for its competitors on three fronts:1. Loss of neutralityA once-independent partner is now entangled with a direct rival, making it harder to trust shared pipelines.2. Information riskData labeling exposes sensitive inputs. Even if unintentionally, Meta could gain indirect insights into rival systems.3. Revenue leakageUsing Scale AI now means funding Meta—something competitors are unwilling to do.As a result, firms like OpenAI and DeepMind are actively cutting ties and seeking new, neutral providers. Who Stands to Gain? Meet the Rising AlternativesSeveral up-and-coming data labeling firms are quickly filling the void left by Scale AI’s compromised position:AppenFounded: 1996, publicly traded (Australia)Strength: Global reach, hundreds of thousands of crowd workersTrusted by Amazon, Microsoft, and GoogleMercorFounded: 2022~2023Known for: Uber-like matching of flexible human labelersScales quickly, dubbed the “Uber for AI tasks”SapienFounded: 2023Focus: RLHF tasks with bias and ethics evaluationGaining traction among OpenAI affiliatesHumanloopFounded: 2020Builds tools to structure and incorporate human feedbackStrong compatibility with Hugging Face ecosystemThese firms are reportedly growing so fast that servers are “melting”—a metaphor now circulating among developers and insiders. A New Phase in the AI Arms RaceMeta’s Scale AI deal may have secured a fast lane for its own model development—but it came at a price: trust.The fallout is reshaping the data supply layer of the AI industry. Neutrality and transparency are now top criteria for model developers, and smaller firms are rising to meet the demand.Ironically, a move designed to consolidate power is accelerating decentralization. The data labeling ecosystem is fragmenting—and flourishing in the process.This marks the beginning of a new chapter in the AI race. The battle for compute may dominate headlines, but the fight for clean, trusted data has just entered Act Two.[Compliance Note]All posts by Sellsmart are for informational purposes only.

The Luxury Brand Gen Z Actually Buys—And It’s Not European

Tapestry’s Rebrand Is Outperforming the Luxury GiantsTapestry (ticker: TPR), best known for its Coach brand, is rewriting the rules of luxury—quietly outpacing legacy European players like LVMH and Kering.Coach’s transformation from “mom’s bag” to “my first luxury” is paying off. The company’s stock has climbed 32% in 2025 so far, while LVMH has dropped 23%—a divergence fueled by Coach’s standout Q3 results. Revenues grew 6.9% YoY; EPS surged 58%. Coach led the way with $1.3B in sales (+15% YoY), offsetting declines in Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman.Europe saw breakout growth at +35%, driven by viral hits like the Tabby and Brooklyn lines. These products—priced between €300–600—blend trendiness with practicality, helping Coach land in the Lyst Top 5 (ahead of Prada in brand preference among Gen Z).A Luxury Brand That Gets the InternetWhile traditional luxury brands remain cautious about digital exposure, Coach leans in. On TikTok and Instagram, its “It Bags” power user-generated short-form content that drives organic buzz. Behind the scenes, Coach runs an advanced CRM engine—tracking clicks, searches, and purchases across online/offline platforms to deliver personalized deals, rewards, and product recommendations in real time.The results? Online revenue has jumped from 12% to over 20% in three years, and digital repurchase rates now exceed 50%.Value Over VanityUnlike rivals banking on price and scarcity, Coach is expanding its appeal by offering attainable luxury with functional appeal. Its lower reliance on China (15–20% of sales) compared to LVMH (30–40%) also provides strategic diversification.And despite strong performance, Tapestry remains attractively priced. Its current P/E ratio of 22.8x trails competitors like LVMH (19.45x) and Kering (21.93x)—even after their stocks fell in 2025.The TakeawayTapestry is not chasing prestige. It’s building brand love—through access, data, and consistency. In a crowded luxury space, that may be the most modern strategy of all.

What Happened After Constellation Brands Missed Earnings?

Constellation Brands reported weaker-than-expected earnings, fueling concerns over softening alcohol demand. For the quarter ending in May, the company posted $2.52 billion in organic net sales and $3.22 in earnings per share, both slightly below analyst expectations.The beer segment, which includes six of the top 15 beer brands by dollar share in the U.S., saw sales dip 2% due to a 3.3% decline in shipment volume. Still, the company expects beer revenue to grow by up to 3% this year.Its wine and spirits division suffered more, with revenue plunging 28% year-over-year due to both restructuring and weaker consumer demand. The company has cut guidance for the segment, citing sluggish sales and the divestiture of lower-end brands.Despite the downbeat numbers, STZ stock fell just 0.7% in after-hours trading. It’s already down over 26% this year, and nearly 40% from its March peak. But some institutional investors are seeing value. Berkshire Hathaway, for instance, more than doubled its holdings in Q1 2025, now owning 6.7% of the company.Historical trends show that even when Constellation misses estimates by up to 10%, the stock has tended to bounce back modestly. On average, it returned 1.3% over the next 20 days and 0.13% over 10 days—suggesting that while the short-term reaction can be negative, it often recovers relatively quickly.Mean: +0.13%25th percentile: -2.68%75th percentile: +2.82%Mean: +1.30%25th percentile: -4.15%75th percentile: +9.09%[Compliance Note]All posts by Sellsmart are for informational purposes only.

Buy the Second-Best Stock (May 14, 2025)

According to Scott Nations, president of Nations Indexes, investors should consider taking a bullish stance on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) following a series of positive headlines surrounding the stock. Appearing on CNBC’s “Power Lunch” on Wednesday, Nations also discussed two of the day’s biggest stock stories and shared whether investors should consider buying or selling those names.Advanced Micro DevicesShares of the AI chipmaker jumped more than 4% on Wednesday after the company announced that its board had approved a $6 billion share repurchase program.Nations rated AMD a “buy,” pointing out that former President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to roll back restrictions on U.S. chip exports—something he said would be “positive for the entire sector.” He also called AMD the “second-best name” in the space, citing the company’s recent deal with Saudi firm Humain to help build out AI infrastructure, alongside Nvidia.“If you’re looking to invest in AI, this is a chance to buy at a 35% discount from its 52-week high,” Nations said. While AMD has rallied nearly 25% over the past month, it’s still down more than 2% year-to-date.AbbVieBiotech giant AbbVie saw its stock fall over 5% during Wednesday’s session.Citi downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral and lowered its price target by $5 to $205 per share, still implying over 15% upside. Analyst Geoff Meacham noted that despite AbbVie’s track record of “consistent beats and raised guidance,” the company’s late-stage pipeline appears weak relative to peers.“Fundamentals are solid right now,” Meacham wrote in a note to clients, “but as investors increasingly focus on pipeline strength, the impact of quarterly surprises could begin to fade.”Nations disagreed strongly with that take, calling the downgrade “truly foolish” and reiterating his “buy” rating on AbbVie. “Pipeline matters for every pharma company, but AbbVie keeps beating earnings expectations, raising dividends, and offers a solid 3.5% yield. It’s in a good space,” he said. The stock is down 8% over the past three months.TeslaTesla shares climbed 4% on Wednesday after Reuters, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that the EV maker will begin shipping components for its Cybercab and Semi truck from China to the U.S. later this month. The report came after the U.S. and China agreed earlier this week to temporarily suspend certain tariffs for 90 days.The development comes as Tesla grapples with declining sales in China and intensifying competition from local automakers. “I see Tesla as a hold right now,” Nations said. “It’s good that they’re resuming imports from China, but don’t forget: there are still some hefty tariffs on Chinese goods. In about 85 days, those could jump again—maybe even triple.”Tesla shares surged nearly 26% last week but remain down about 14% during that same period, leaving the stock still in negative territory for the year.[Compliance Note]All posts by Sellsmart are for informational purposes only.

MSCI May Index Review: Who’s In, Who’s Out?

In MSCI’s May 2025 quarterly index rebalancing, Samyang Foods and Hanwha Systems were added to the Korea index, while Ecopro Materials and NCSoft were removed. The total number of constituents remains unchanged at 81. These changes will take effect after market close on May 30.As MSCI indices are widely tracked by global passive funds, newly added stocks often experience meaningful fund inflows. According to market estimates, Samyang Foods could see around ₩210 billion in new inflows, and Hanwha Systems approximately ₩170 billion. On the other hand, the deletions could trigger outflows totaling roughly ₩1.7 trillion.However, a closer look at past data shows that index additions often underperform after inclusion, with many experiencing declines in the month following the rebalance. While anticipation often boosts prices ahead of inclusion, actual passive buying may be followed by profit-taking.Despite the rebalancing, Korea’s weighting in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is set to decrease only 0.03%, which suggests limited risk of broader capital flight from Korean equities.[Compliance Note]All posts by Sellsmart are for informational purposes only.
