What happened
Nvidia reported 106% revenue growth and a 75% gross margin, though the company stated it can only fulfill 70% of AI chip demand through at least fiscal 2028. Hyperscaler capital expenditures were forecasted to reach $800 billion in 2026. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan noted that memory is the biggest challenge for AI infrastructure, citing prices climbing five to seven times and limited production until 2028.

Why it matters
Intense competition among hyperscalers is driving massive demand for advanced AI chips and memory solutions. The limited production of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) is forcing businesses to delay projects, even when they can secure GPUs.
The VanEck Semiconductor ETF currently includes major players in the sector, such as Intel, Nvidia, Micron Technology, and AMD.
