Arauca Capital Jean Philippe Tissot | “Kioxia is a leading Japanese semiconductor manufacturer dedicated to NAND flash memory and enterprise solid-state drives (SSDs). The manager adopted a decisively bearish posture toward holding the stock at prevailing levels, liquidating the fund's entire position at approximately ¥96,000 to capture a five-fold return in five months after determining that the market was pricing peak-cycle conditions as permanent. The investment decision turns on the mechanics of semiconductor commodity cycles and capital allocation. Memory has surged from 8% to nearly 30% of hyperscaler capex, driven predominantly by cyclical price spikes rather than sustainable bit-growth. Historically, high returns on capital trigger massive industry capital expenditures that eventually collapse pricing back toward marginal cost, as illustrated by Samsung and SK Hynix committing 800 trillion won to new memory fabs. Furthermore, software efficiency techniques like Multi-Head Latent Attention reduce the KV cache size required for AI inference, potentially lowering storage intensity over time. At peak valuation multiples on annualized peak earnings, the stock no longer offered an adequate margin of safety. Critical factors to monitor include the arrival of major new fab supply projected for 2027–2028, shifts in enterprise SSD pricing, and algorithm-driven memory compression. The stock remains on Arauca's watchlist for cyclical re-entry during future downturns.” | BEAR | Q2 2026 Sep 1, 2026 | View Pitch |
