Among blue-chip stocks, Alibaba-W (09988) bucked the trend with a 0.44% gain to HKD 136.4, contributing 9.16 points to the Hang Seng Index. Alibaba recently intensified AI product launches, including the release of its world model Happy Oyster, expanding its AI portfolio into content generation for gaming and film.

Cambridge Technology (06166) surged 34.87% to HKD 122.8, buoyed by strong first-quarter earnings from Accelink (released Thursday showing revenue nearly doubling and net profit rising 262%). Goldman Sachs raised Accelink’s target price from 791 yuan to 1,187 yuan, citing expanding bandwidth demand from evolving data center architectures. Meanwhile, gold stocks retreated amid Middle East tensions: Lebanese-Israeli ceasefire negotiations and Fed officials citing inflation pressures from geopolitical risks weighed on sentiment.

Big short seller Burry is betting that semiconductors will fall by 30%, then switching to buy beaten-down software stocks.
Barry believes the rally in semiconductor stocks has been driven more by technical factors and sentiment, with a lack of long-term fundamental support; therefore, he is bearish on SOXX. He bought a SOXX put option with a strike price of $330 and an expiration date of January 2027. On the same day, he also bought NVIDIA put options with the same expiration date, expecting SOXX to fall below $330 (about 28%). He also added to undervalued software and payments stocks, such as Microsoft, Adobe, and PayPal, as a hedging and portfolio rebalancing strategy.

PTT Hot Topic: Will Taiwan stocks’ rise above 40,000 points mirror Japan’s bubble crisis?
This article focuses on PTT discussions: if Taiwan stocks surge to 40,000 points, will it repeat the Nikkei bubble? The debate centers on the price-to-earnings ratio, leverage risks, AI/semiconductor earnings, and tariff risks. The P/E camp believes the indicator is still low, and the bubble is virtually nonexistent; the risk camp emphasizes risks such as high financing, foreign investors as the main force, and the risk of capital moving abroad. The conclusion is that the P/E debate is more convincing, and the market continues to rise while remaining skeptical.

TSMC’s terms will loosen the single-stock cap to 25% starting 4/24, enabling ETFs and active ETFs to add to TSMC more directly. Theoretical incremental growth is under 0.3% of market cap, but in terms of trading volume it could be amplified. Funds may flow to TSMC, putting pressure on non-TSMC AI supply-chain stocks. If new capital is insufficient, short-term selling pressure may appear; if the 12-month CAGR exceeds 20%, the incremental amount can be absorbed by new capital.
