Hello my dears,

Due to the earnings, the following result will be achieved in October.

• Tops

The semiconductor sector is doing well, AI is becoming more and more established in our everyday lives.

However, this also means a cluster risk for my portfolio. That's why I sold the following shares on Friday $AWE .

Japanese stocks are also benefiting from the change of government.

Kitron and Kraken Robotic continue to show us the music in the defense and robotics sector.

SoFi was once again convincing with its figures.

• Flops

Chipotle, Ferrari and STmicro unfortunately failed to meet expectations.

In the case of STmicro, I hope that it may now be able to benefit from the chip crisis in the automotive sector.

After a good September, Innodata saw a correction in October.

Defi Tech. is the 🚀 that won't take off.

And iRobot is a depot corpse that is uninteresting.

Questions and comments are welcome in the comments.

Hello my dears,

At the end of the month there was another rebalancing at "Tenbagger Holding".

The two companies that will be taken over next year have now been sold at a profit.

$IVG (+0,5 %) Iveco and $AWE Alphawave.

I have noticed that there has been hardly any movement in the share price for weeks. And that's why I want to use the capital for new investments at the end of the year.

One new addition already took place yesterday.

Once again, we are going to the USA, with one foot in the future-oriented sector of "quantum technology". Through the investment in $FEIM (+5,96 %) Frequency Electronics Inc.

Many will now be thinking "Why buy at an all-time high? For me, an ATH is a sign of strength. And in the past, I have often not found the entry point for such shares by waiting. For me, Frequency is a long-term investment, and with quantum technology we are only at the beginning.

If there is another correction, I will buy more.

There was also an additional purchase in $CAMX (+2,5 %) Camurus. I see pent-up demand in the pharmaceutical sector. And anyone who knows me knows that I go for the small but mighty.

Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the sale of the two takeover candidates?

Was it perhaps a mistake and should I have waited a little longer? Should I have waited for the price to improve? Or was it right to redeploy the capital at the end of the year?

By the way $IRBT iRobot in terms of the takeover. When the company was to be taken over by Amazon, the EU did not give its approval at the end. And the gamble ended up in a dead stock.

What do you think of my investment in Frequency Electronics? @EpsEra

I look forward to many comments.

Frequency Electronics, Inc. (FEI) was founded in 1961 and is a public company headquartered in Long Island, New York. FEI is traded on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange under the symbol FEIM. The Geschäftsführung of the company is managed by Dr. Thomas McClelland managed by

My dears, I will stay with $QCOM (+1,77 %) and $AWE invested. Because I'm thrilled with how broadly Qualcomm has positioned itself in recent years.

I always knew that AI in smartphones would be difficult without Qualcomm.

And AR glasses as well. Qualcomm also plays an important role in autonomous mobility.

And it's hard to imagine robotics without it. And now it's moving on to data centers.

The chip manufacturer wants to challenge its competitor Nvidia with its new products. The chips will be available from next year. The Qualcomm share reacts clearly.

27.10.2025 - 16:15

San Francisco. Qualcomm is entering the market for AI data centers with new chips and computers. The US company presented two corresponding chips in San Diego on Monday, which should be commercially available from next year.

The new chips, named AI200 and AI250, are designed for improved memory capacity and the execution of AI applications and will be available in 2026 and 2027 respectively. The first customer will be the Saudi AI start-up Humain, which plans to use 200 megawatts of computing power based on the new chips from 2026.

Qualcomm intends to offer the products either as individual chips or as complete servers. If the component is only used as a chip, it could be used in devices based on processors from Nvidia or other competitors. As a complete server, it will compete with the offerings of these chip manufacturers.

Qualcomm shares rose 22 percent at their peak on Wall Street, their biggest one-day gain in more than six months.

To strengthen its AI portfolio, Qualcomm announced the acquisition of Alphawave, a developer of semiconductor technologies for data centers, for around USD 2.4 billion in June.

Hello my dears,

the love @yngfinn has asked me how I find shares. I would like to share my answer with you.

@yngfinn

Hello my dear,

as I have enough positions in my portfolio at the moment, I am no longer looking so intensively for new companies. I don't trade and am more long-term oriented.

My approach is quite different.

By sector:

I often look at which sectors and areas are currently on the move. Or what the areas of the future are, such as robotics, defense and aerospace, AI, etc.

But I also look at which sectors and countries in my portfolio are undervalued.

Or also in which sectors I see a need to catch up because they have been driven down unjustifiably. Like the healthcare sector, for example 🍊.

I watch reports and documentaries. Like exploring the oceans and seas. And discovering Kraken Robotic $PNG (+3,1 %) and Norbit $NORBT (+1,99 %) .

https://getqu.in/Ey45a0/

After Powel's speech on Friday, for example, it would now make sense to look for real estate and homebuilders. Like Buffet did with his stock Dr. Horten $DHI (+1 %) .

Unfortunately, the ongoing wars show the importance of drones and drone defense.

But also the increasing importance in agriculture (I have already written a post about this).

https://getqu.in/SdXvMm/

In the end, my choice here was $AVAV (+5,92 %) AeroVironment. And the contract manufacturer $KIT (-0,38 %) Kitron.

In the future-oriented robotics sector, I don't really want to invest in overvalued stocks such as $TSLA (+2,04 %) Tesla or the contract manufacturer $JBL (+0,61 %) Jabil. I see Japan as very innovative here. As shown by $7012 (+1,38 %) Kawasaki shows. This is how I discovered the blade supplier $6481 (+0,63 %) THK (there was a post from me about this).

https://getqu.in/fZudqX/

By country:

When Iran attacked Israel, I took advantage of the dip and picked Israeli stocks.

For example, I discovered Gilat $GILT (+4,67 %) for example.

But as a long-term investor, I still see the USA in the lead. I also like to take a look at small and mid caps.

But I also often look at countries that are not quite so much in focus. Scandinavia or Italy.

I have found $LTMC (+1,07 %) Lottomatica and $CAMX (+2,5 %) Camurus.

I often only look at the companies by momentum from the various indices in these countries.

By company:

I also often look at which companies are currently the stars on the stock market. Like Rheinmetall, for example, but then I don't go into the overvalued shares, but look for suppliers, i.e. blade suppliers. That's how I came across Kitron $KIT (-0,38 %) for example. Kitron as a contract manufacturer for the defense sector.

Or when Novo Nordisk was still a star, I discovered the Novo supplier $YPSN (+0,57 %) discovered.

Nvidia supplier $HY9H (+0,4 %) sk Hynix.

Where is the capex of the companies going?

Based on this question, I came across the AI infrastructure companies $IESC (+12,04 %) IES Holding and $VRT (+7,17 %) Vertiv.

The weakness of one company makes other companies strong.

The weakness of Boeing makes $AIR (+1,06 %) and $ERJ (+2,88 %) strong. That's how I came across Embraer and $MTX (+3,28 %) MTU.

https://getqu.in/4hiSbt/

Research and reports, such as on coinbase $COIN (+3,83 %) (CAUTION never buy based on a story).

https://getqu.in/OIiwhP/

Good company figures with a growth story could also be a reason. As for example with $GILD (+1,16 %) Gilead.

https://getqu.in/iF8BDY/

Takeover fantasies:

Takeover rumors usually mean that the share price of the company to be taken over rises.

As was the case with $AWE Alphawave was the case.

https://getqu.in/1NPNWI/

Or with Iveco $IVG (+0,5 %)

https://getqu.in/WJnLFp/

https://getqu.in/VnK4Xk/

CAUTION: Something can always go wrong here and send the share price plummeting.

I experienced this myself with i robot when the UK did not agree to a takeover by Amazon.

No matter in which area. My approach is usually to pick out the momentum stocks. I then look at the multiples, news, order situation and, of course, the company.

Compounders and long-term runners:

In my core, I only invest in quality stocks with a moat.

Here it makes sense not to buy at the ATH, but on the dip.

Multiples:

What is important to me with multiples:

-profitable company, or in the next year

Profitable.

Preferably double-digit profit growth with a falling P/E ratio.

-Percentage profit growth is higher than sales growth.

-good and rising EbiT margin.

-PEG below or around 1

-increasing free cash flow taking into account capex.

My dears,

I hope my brief summary of my approach perhaps offers you a little added value.

Please let me know in the comments.

Suggestions for improvement are also welcome. 😘😘

$QCOM (+1,77 %)

Hello my dears,

I am invested in Alphawave, is anyone else invested here? And what do you do now?

On Monday, the US chip manufacturer Qualcomm announced an agreement to acquire the British semiconductor company Alphawave for around 2.4 billion US dollars.

As part of the deal, Alphawave shareholders will receive 183 per share, a premium of almost 96% over the closing price before Qualcomm's interest in the company became known.

In addition, Qualcomm has made alternative share offers to Alphawave shareholders.

The US semiconductor manufacturer Qualcomm has its eye on Alphawave and announced on Tuesday that it is considering an offer for the British chip designer. However, a decision has not yet been made. The company did not provide any further details. Alphawave could not initially be reached for comment on this topic.

Shortly beforehand, insiders had told the Reuters news agency that Arm had also put out feelers for Alphawave. However, the talks had come to nothing. Neither Alphawave, Arm nor its major shareholder SoftBank wanted to comment on the matter. The chip designer's shares rose by almost 53 percent at times in London, heading for the biggest daily gain in the company's history. Qualcomm shares, on the other hand, fell a good one percent on Wall Street.

Arm was particularly interested in the "SerDes" ("Serializer-Deserializer") technology, insiders added. It enables information to be passed through a chip particularly quickly. This is crucial for computationally intensive applications for artificial intelligence (AI), as vast amounts of data have to be processed simultaneously. Arm wants to significantly expand its market share in central processors for this area of application.

One user of the "SerDes" technology developed by Alphawave is Broadcom. As a result, the Qualcomm rival has acquired the ChatGPT developer and Alphabet subsidiary Google, among others, as customers for its AI chips.

Alphawave Semi shares rise after strong third quarter bookings and TSMC award. $AWE

LONDON, United Kingdom and TORONTO, Ontario, Canada - Alphawave IP Group plc (LN:AWE), a specialist in high-speed connectivity and computing technology, reported impressive third quarter results. For the fourth consecutive quarter, bookings exceeded $100 million. The company recorded a 43% increase in new bookings compared to the same period last year, with significant growth in license and non-recurring development revenue (NRE).

The share price reacted to the positive news with a sharp jump of 22%.

The company, also known as Alphawave Semi, particularly highlighted its strength in the area of intellectual property (IP) licensing. Here, license and NRE bookings increased by a remarkable 119% from USD 42.9 million in Q3 2023 to USD 93.8 million in Q3 2024. However, license fees and silicon orders declined by 64% from USD 30.1 million to USD 10.7 million in the same period.

President and CEO Tony Pialis commented on the milestone and attributed the consistent performance to the company's growing revenue streams. In particular, he highlighted the success in securing multiple design wins for chiplets using Arm UCIe IP. Pialis also expressed pride that Alphawave Semi was recognized as TSMC OIP Partner of the Year 2024 for High-Speed SerDes IP for the fifth consecutive year - a testament to the company's technology leadership.

Executive Chairman John Lofton Holt described 2024 as a transition year for Alphawave Semi. The corporate strategy is already having a positive impact on the financial results, he said. He expressed great confidence in the company's medium-term forecast and reiterated the ambitious goal of achieving annual sales of USD 1 billion by 2027.
