0519 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro/Industry 1) Trump announced on social media that, at the request of leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the planned strike on Iran set for the 19th has been postponed. He said the US and Iran are in 'serious talks', while the three Gulf states fear an escalation could hit their own energy infrastructure. He also stressed that US forces remain on alert, warning that if talks collapse, a full-scale offensive would follow.This move keeps a window open for diplomacy while applying military pressure on Tehran. In the near term, it eases risks around Middle East oil prices and shipping, supporting global energy markets and risk appetite. Over the longer run, US-Iran rifts are unlikely to be resolved...

0507 | Dolphin Research Focus: 🐬 Macro/Industry 1) Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Baghaei confirmed it is still reviewing a U.S. peace proposal relayed via Pakistan, which includes a 14-point ceasefire plan, and has not formally responded.

May 6 | Dolphin Research Focus: Macro/Industry. The US SEC has proposed allowing listed companies to voluntarily file semiannual reports instead of quarterly reports, reducing periodic disclosures from four times a year to two. 🐬Companies could continue using Form 10-Q or switch to a new Form 10-S for half-year reporting. The proposal now enters a 60-day comment period and would take effect once adopted.The aim is to ease compliance burdens, curb short-termism among management, and support long-term planning. However, lower transparency and delayed data could weaken price discovery and exacerbate information asymmetry...

CPUs on a tear, Helios near—Is AMD finally turning the corner?

AMD 1Q26 First Take: A solid print, with a revenue beat driven by server CPUs.AI GPU (MI355) was soft, down slightly QoQ, pressured by revenue adjustments in China. Versus the recent AI GPU trajectory, the market is more focused on the upcoming MI450 family.AMD has signed collaborations with OpenAI and Meta, and MI450 will shift delivery from a single-chip model to rack-scale clusters. Beyond the quarter, guidance was strong.AMD guides next-quarter revenue of $10.9–11.5bn (+6–12% QoQ), topping the Street at ~$10.5bn; non-GAAP GPM is guided to ~56% (vs. 55.3% consensus). The expected beat next quarter is mainly driven by server CPUs.Dolphin Research estimates server CPU and related revenue could reach ~$3.8bn, up ~15% QoQ. Overall, AMD has entered an upswing.The recent share rally is largely powered by the server CPU cycle. The market’s original focus was on MI450 ramping in 2H, as AMD transitions from chip-level to system-level delivery, keeping 1H expectations muted.With model workloads shifting from training to inference, the importance of server CPUs has become more pronounced, pulling forward upside in results. Price increases and upgrades in server CPUs have laid the groundwork for full-year growth.If MI450 ramps and ships smoothly, it should bring incremental orders.A dual-engine AI stack of 'CPU+GPU' opens a larger upside for AMD. $AMD(AMD.US)
