Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the perceived dichotomy between value investing and technology investing, particularly in the context of the AI era, and explores the reasons behind this stereotype [4][5]. Group 1: Value vs. Technology Investing - The stereotype that value investing and technology investing are oppositional stems from the low proportion of technology investments made by well-known value investors [5]. - Value investors often struggle to share their technology investment cases, reinforcing the stereotype [5]. - A key principle of value investing is that value must be assessable, which is challenging in the rapidly changing technology sector [5][6]. Group 2: Characteristics of Technology Companies - Not all technology companies are unprofitable at inception; some, like Nvidia, can be profitable from the start [6]. - The financial losses of some tech companies do not negate their long-term value, as profitability can be established once business models and payment capabilities are confirmed [6][9]. - Understanding the business model of technology companies often requires specialized knowledge, creating a barrier for value investors [7][13]. Group 3: AI's Impact on Industries - The demand for computing power driven by AI has significantly enhanced the value of the semiconductor foundry industry, which has a stable business model and clear competitive advantages [16][18]. - AI has transformed the storage industry by increasing the demand for storage capacity and bandwidth, leading to supply shortages and rising prices [19][20]. - The shift from traditional computing to AI-driven models has created bottlenecks in storage, as the new computing methods require more frequent data storage [19]. Group 4: Semiconductor Industry Dynamics - The semiconductor industry is experiencing a slowdown in the pace of innovation, as evidenced by the observed deceleration of Moore's Law [25][28]. - Future advancements in semiconductor manufacturing may occur at a slower rate, with increased reliance on chip clusters to enhance computing power [29]. - The competitive landscape in semiconductor manufacturing is evolving, particularly in the context of national policies promoting self-sufficiency in technology [21][24].
