Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Smartphone revenues increased by 31% in 2024 and will increase by 15-20% in 2025 in my view: small volume growth (5%), ASP increase (AI in chips), share gains in premium.  </li>
<li>MTK multiple bets in Automotive, AI, ARM CPU are starting to pay off. Nvidia GB100 revenues mid-25, AI Accelerator revenue start mid-26, Nvidia Auto revenue in 2H26 – my estimates.</li>
<li>Consensus forecasts revenues increasing +35% from 2024 to 2026, Net Income +30%. That should be the low-end of the range. The stock is trading at 21.1x 2025 EPS, 17.6x 2026.</li>
