AI server builders are the picks and shovels play — Dell and Super Micro ride Mi
Created
Thesis
Nvidia recently launched its new Vera Rubin systems, acting as a major catalyst for server manufacturers like Super Micro and Dell. Today, Micron completely smashed earnings, proving that the money being allocated for AI data centers is actually being spent right now. While the market was recently gripped by a chip selloff, these two back-to-back catalysts are lighting a fire under the hardware companies that physically build these servers.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters long SMCI and DELL on D1 when MU closes up >10% for the day, provided the broader market (SPY) is above its 50-day moving average. Hold for 15 days with an 8% trailing stop.
