Apple, Intel, and the Systems Foundry Gambit

By Raghav Vashisht

  • Apple, Intel, and Nvidia may be converging on a shared AI infrastructure vision that would have consequences for the global chip supply chain.
  • Intel’s systems foundry pivot is about controlling the stack, and Apple might see value in that despite moving away from the former’s products.
  • TSMC remains dominant in process tech, but the competition in the future might be about more than building silicon.  

Primer: Indonesia Kendaraan Terminal (IPCC IJ) – Sep 2025

By αSK

  • Dominant Market Leader with Strategic Assets: IPCC is the pioneering and largest operator of specialized vehicle terminals in Indonesia, holding a dominant market share (approximately 80%) in new vehicle handling at its primary location, the Port of Tanjung Priok, which is Indonesia’s busiest port. Its strategic position is reinforced by its status as a subsidiary of the state-owned port authority Pelindo, providing a significant competitive advantage.
  • Strong Financial Performance and Shareholder Returns: The company exhibits a robust growth trajectory with a 3-year net income CAGR of 52.31% and consistently high margins. IPCC maintains a strong, debt-free financial position, enabling it to consistently distribute high dividends, as evidenced by a dividend yield exceeding 13% in the latest fiscal year.
  • Favorable Industry Tailwinds and Expansion Strategy: IPCC is well-positioned to capitalize on the long-term growth of the Indonesian automotive market, including the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and government initiatives to boost exports. The company is pursuing a clear expansion strategy, focused on integrating its services, expanding its network to other Pelindo-operated ports, and digitalization to create a comprehensive vehicle logistics ecosystem.

Primer: Verisure Holding (VERISR SS) – Sep 2025

By αSK

  • Verisure is the leading provider of professionally monitored security services in Europe and Latin America, poised for a significant IPO on Nasdaq Stockholm with a potential market capitalization of €12.9–€13.9 billion.
  • The company’s business model is built on a highly resilient, subscription-based revenue stream, with approximately 90% of its €3.4 billion in 2024 revenue coming from recurring subscriptions, driving strong, consistent cash flow.
  • Significant growth potential exists due to the low penetration of monitored security services in Verisure’s core European markets (around 4%) compared to the U.S. (around 23%), providing a long runway for customer acquisition and expansion.
