Thesis Scorecard UNPROVEN LIVE — NEEDS MONTHS; CURRENTLY NOISE
What this will eventually answer: Did news_adj (UNPROVEN LIVE) and surprise_adj (COMMODITY) each improve outcomes beyond the mechanical score alone? Currently 5 buy action(s) logged — statistically meaningless. Re-run guidance.js over many months to build history. Every signal is logged separately so this comparison will become meaningful over time.

DateSymbolActionPrice MechNews adjSurp adj Reason / Cases
2026-08-10 EQIX BUY $1,042.62 0.678 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Bullish news, val=1.0, trend 0.871 (range_pos 0.79, only 1 heavy-down day). Data-center REIT diversifies away from silicon.
▼ Mech 0.678 — not top-tier; boosted mainly by news+val. Rate-sensitive if 10y rises. Substituted for #8 ARM which triggered stretched-momo (ret_6m +124%) + silicon concentration flags.
2026-08-10 NVDA BUY $223.96 0.725 +0.150 +0.003
▲▼ cases
▲ EV/EBITDA at bottom of 6y history (val=1.0), bullish news lean, vs_ma50 +9%. Not stretched (vs_ma200 +15%).
▼ Silicon layer concentration (already hold MRVL, MU). AI-capex cycle risk shared with the layer. Mech 0.725 mostly boosted by news+val, not by pure trend.
2026-08-10 MSFT BUY $499.99 0.788 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Final 0.938 (#2); Q4 Azure +43% vs 39-40% guided; 30M+ paid AI seats; val=1.0.
▼ Cloud-layer overlap with AMZN. mech 0.788 (solid, not extreme). Top-up is dust ($0.39).
2026-08-10 AMZN BUY $274.48 0.762 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Final 0.912 (#5); Q2 AWS +37% (6pp beat); EV/EBITDA at cycle low (val=1.0); trend 0.906.
▼ Cloud-layer concentration with MSFT (both top-5, both bullish news). If AI capex disappoints, both correlated. Small top-up limits incremental risk.
2026-08-10 CRDO TRIM $249.89 0.820 +0.150 +0.010
▲▼ cases
▲ Highest ranked: final 0.981. Bullish news + val=1.0 + fresh Jun-1 beat still decaying positive.
▼ Stretched: ret_6m +85%, vs_ma200 +47%, heavy_down_21=7 (volatile). Networking name — thesis intact but position-sizing discipline warrants trim.
2026-08-10 MRVL TRIM $218.72 0.778 +0.150 -0.007
▲▼ cases
▲ Final 0.920 (#3), val=1.0 (EV/EBITDA at bottom of history), bullish news; ret_6m +167%.
▼ Stretched-momentum flag (kb#7): ret_6m +167%, vs_ma200 +55%. Silicon layer concentration alongside MU/NVDA. Trim reduces exposure risk.
2026-08-10 ASML SELL $1,740.99 0.667 +0.000 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ EUV monopoly and FY26 guide raise still structurally intact.
▼ Missing news catalyst + vs_ma50 -1.65% (rolling over); simply outranked, not a red flag exit.
2026-08-10 AMD SELL $483.36 0.584 -0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Aug-4 Q2 print + AI silicon momentum kept it top-4 in prior rebalance.
▼ News turned bearish + mech decayed to 0.584; kb#7 momentum edge is regime-dependent, so a signal weakening is a real exit trigger. Silicon layer is already covered by MRVL/MU/NVDA.
2026-08-03 MU BUY $829.11 0.748 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Samsung HBM multi-year deal; blowout Q3; HBM4 fully allocated at premium; still cheap on own-hist EV/EBITDA (0.88 val).
▼ Below 50d MA (-15%); CXMT China DRAM entrant is longer-term risk. kb_lessons: signals aligned, no red flag.
2026-08-03 MRVL BUY $193.78 0.723 +0.150 -0.011
▲▼ cases
▲ NVDA $2B strategic investment; T100 AI switch; 6m return +156%; own-hist EV/EBITDA at multi-year low.
▼ Below 50d MA (weakness), latest EPS inline (mild bearish surprise tilt). Signals slightly disagree (news bull, surprise inline) but net positive.
2026-08-03 DELL BUY $429.23 0.764 +0.150 +0.036
▲▼ cases
▲ AI-server rev $16.1B (+757% YoY), $51.3B backlog; guidance raised; DCF cheap on own hist.
▼ 6m return +266% — signature stretched-momentum profile. kb_lessons red flag: momentum core is regime-dependent; keep at EW, no over-weight, monitor closely.
2026-08-03 CRDO BUY $218.35 0.761 +0.150 +0.043
▲▼ cases
▲ 157% YoY revenue growth; FY27 guide 80%+ growth; recent EPS beat +12.6%; own-hist EV/EBITDA at low.
▼ Broke below 50d MA; small-cap volatility, high momentum extension over 6m (+96%). kb_lessons flag: watch for stretched-momentum single-name concentration, but signals broadly aligned.
2026-08-03 ASML BUY $1,642.52 0.658 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Second FY26 raise to €43-45B; EUV monopoly + HBM capacity tailwind; own-hist EV/EBITDA still cheap (0.85 val score).
▼ Multiple compression despite raised guide; China export overhang. Signals aligned bullish, no red flag.
2026-08-03 AMD BUY $484.64 0.653 +0.150 +0.014
▲▼ cases
▲ Advancing-AI catalysts (EPYC Venice Zen 6 2nm, MI455X Helios rack); Aug 4 earnings whisper > consensus; 6m return +100%.
▼ Options implying 12% move into tomorrows Q2; stock +160% YTD leaves narrow margin for Q3 guide slip. kb_lessons: momentum-driven position, one-path regime risk.
2026-08-03 MSFT BUY $487.65 0.757 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Q4 Azure +43% vs guided 39-40%; +$450B market cap sustained post-print signals institutional re-rating; 30M+ paid AI seats show monetization; EV/EBITDA at multi-year low on own history.
▼ Recent +21% vs 50d MA is stretched short-term; capex ramp risk to FCF. kb_lessons: not classic stretched-momentum (earnings-driven repricing), acceptable.
2026-08-03 AMZN BUY $284.02 0.812 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Q2 AWS +37% vs 31% consensus (6pp beat); record $27.5B operating income; range_pos 0.97 (breakout on Q2 print); valuation cheap on own history (EV/EBITDA at multi-year low).
▼ Q3 guide light on Prime Day timing shift and $220B capex commitment pressures FCF; kb_lessons check: this is an earnings-catalyst breakout not stretched-momentum, but valuation reads are slow-moving (…
2026-08-03 NVDA SELL $206.64 0.647 +0.000 +0.007
▲▼ cases
▲ MU/Samsung HBM deal and AI infra spend still support core demand; DCF still supportive vs valuation history (cheap on own EV/EBITDA history).
▼ Momentum has flattened (r3m only +4%, vs_ma50 nearly flat) into Aug 26 earnings; news lean neutral, whisper > consensus so bar is high. kb_lessons red flag: mechanical trend/momentum core, not a tilt-…
2026-08-03 EQIX SELL $1,031.44 0.679 +0.000 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Cheap on own-hist EV/EBITDA and record bookings; long-term AI data-center backlog intact.
▼ Q3 guide disappointed and cloud REITs re-rating vs. hyperscalers; news lean now neutral. Signal-check: momentum core has faded, no strong tilt to keep it.
2026-07-27 MU HOLD $900.20 0.858 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ r3m +74%, r6m +107%; val_raw 0.88 (EV/EBITDA 7.7 — cheap vs own history); blowout Q3, KeyBanc PT $1,750.
▼ r3m +74% is peak-momentum territory (kb_lesson #7 stretched-momentum flag). Cheap valuation cushions but cyclical memory reversion is the tail risk. Down −22% from post-earnings highs already; further…
2026-07-27 CRDO HOLD $208.14 0.761 +0.150 +0.018
▲▼ cases
▲ Val_raw 1.00; Q4 revenue $437M +157%; FY26 $1.3B+; Zacks #1 Strong Buy.
▼ min_5d −9.87% (heavy-down day in last week) fires the recent-heavy-down flag; small-cap networking name; residual layer-concentration risk with CRDO+ANET(-→ANET sold today).
2026-07-27 EQIX HOLD $1,046.79 0.742 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Cheap own-hist EV/EBITDA 23.6; Q2 AFFO consensus +13.5%; new AI-factory GTM.
▼ Leadership reshuffle adds uncertainty; last surprise −1.86%; sector rate-sensitivity.
2026-07-27 NVDA HOLD $196.53 0.637 +0.150 +0.012
▲▼ cases
▲ Rubin arch 2 quarters ahead; Blackwell sold out through mid-2026; Goldman: 21.7x fwd P/E 'compelling'.
▼ Weakest momentum among holds (r3m -1.5%, r6m +2.1%). Position underwater vs 06-22 entry 210.69. If the mech component keeps decaying, will likely drop out next cycle.
2026-07-27 MRVL HOLD $189.17 0.764 +0.150 -0.016
▲▼ cases
▲ r6m +132.6%; multi-catalyst (NVDA equity, XConn closing, Teralynx); val_raw 1.00 (cheap own-hist EV/EBITDA 15.4).
▼ Signal-disagreement flag technically fires: news bullish (+0.15) but Q1 surprise ordinal slightly negative (inline eps → -1/3 ordinal). Magnitude tiny; not treating as a real conflict.
2026-07-27 DELL HOLD $426.54 0.787 +0.150 +0.050
▲▼ cases
▲ AI-server revenue +757% YoY; FY27 guide raised; stock reversed 07-15 selloff and is +8.67%.
▼ Range_pos 0.88 (near 52w highs) + r6m +260% = classic stretched-momentum flag (kb_lesson #7); val_raw 0.35. Watch — if score-hold slips OR range_pos stays >0.85 into another mech decay, downgrade.
2026-07-27 ASML BUY $1,655.26 0.704 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Multi-signal alignment: beat + raised guide + cheap own-hist valuation; AI/HBM demand cited; range_pos 0.74 not stretched.
▼ Semi-equip cyclicality + export-control tail risk (China); shares fell post-report despite beat (buyer's remorse signal). Single-name choke-point risk in EUV.
2026-07-27 AMD BUY $494.95 0.702 +0.150 +0.003
▲▼ cases
▲ AI Advancing 2026 catalysts: first 2nm production CPU (EPYC Venice), MI455X powers Helios rack; r6m +96%, r3m +40%. All three signals align (mech+news+surp).
▼ Val_raw only 0.35 (EV/EBITDA 47.8 near top of own-hist range) — stretched valuation; kb_lesson #8: valuation is a damper, not a return source. Was sold on 07-13 at 534; re-entering ~40 pts lower is no…
2026-07-27 ANET SELL $170.76 0.539 +0.150 +0.003
▲▼ cases
▲ Bull thesis intact: Arista 7060XE7 1.6Tbps launch, Q2 earnings Aug 4; PT hikes to $200/$210.
▼ Momentum has rolled over vs peers; kb_lessons #7 flags momentum as dominant return driver — riding a name whose mech has fallen is contra-signal. Networking-layer already trimmed (ALAB sold 07-20); CR…
2026-07-20 ALAB SELL $309.09 0.639 -0.150 +0.007
▲▼ cases
▲ Q1 rev $308M +93% YoY, Nasdaq-100 inclusion, still 3/6m momentum-percentile 84th, cheap vs own EV/EBITDA history (val rank 55th).
▼ Bearish news + heavy insider selling ahead of Aug 4 earnings; 21d dd -36% signals momentum breakdown; networking-layer concentration violates kb_lessons diversification rule. Signals disagree with mec…
2026-07-13 MU BUY $937.00 0.648 +0.150 +0.000
▲▼ cases
▲ Blowout Q3 (rev $41.5B vs $35.8B est), $50B Q4 guide, r6m +177%; oversold pullback reads bullish-vs-expectations.
▼ Memory is deeply cyclical; -4.3% today and ~22% off highs; surprise tilt fully decayed (print >63td ago). Single biggest risk: a memory-cycle rollover.
2026-07-13 CRDO BUY $236.88 0.647 +0.150 +0.077
▲▼ cases
▲ Strong 3/6m momentum, above MAs; recent EPS beat +13% (surprise tilt +0.077); bullish long-horizon news.
▼ Fell -8.1% today (in deterioration scan); adds to networking concentration with ALAB/ANET; small-cap high-beta connectivity name, momentum-driven (kb_lesson: momentum regime-dependent).
2026-07-13 ANET BUY $181.15 0.603 +0.150 +0.010
▲▼ cases
▲ 7060XE7 1.6Tbps AI-switch launch drove +7%; KeyBanc $200 / TD Cowen $210 hikes; range_pos 0.90, above 50/200d MAs.
▼ Networking sleeve now 3/8 (ALAB,CRDO,ANET) - correlated AI-networking bet, and todays scan flagged networking as a rolling-over layer. Single biggest risk: a networking-capex air-pocket hits all three…
2026-07-13 ENTG SELL $136.27 0.518 +0.000 +0.022
▲▼ cases
▲ Cheap own-history EV/EBITDA; foundry-materials exposure.

▲▼ cases
