Serenity comments on Leopold's heavy position in Taiyo Yuden: AI bottlenecks are spreading to the smallest electronic components, and MLCCs are poised to see robust demand.

Serenity stated in a post that it was previously unaware that 25-year-old rising Wall Street AI stock prodigy Leopold was also an investor in MLCC bottleneck plays, until the latest holdings disclosure revealed his fund Situational Awareness holds approximately 5.99% of Japanese MLCC maker Taiyo Yuden. As of June 29, Leopold’s average cost per share is roughly 17,446 yen, while the current share price stands at around 9,797 yen, resulting in a significant unrealized loss. Taiyo Yuden is one of the world’s largest MLCC manufacturers; its June shipments hit 40 billion units, a five-year monthly high, and it, along with Murata and Samsung Electro-Mechanics, has benefited from surging demand for high-capacitance, low-voltage, small-size MLCCs from AI servers. Serenity added that it has also increased its position in Taiyo Yuden today to show support. Recently, leading MLCC manufacturers in South Korea and Japan have been rapidly shifting their consumer-grade production capacity to higher-spec products for AI applications, pushing inventories of mid-to-high capacitance consumer MLCCs below 30 days and driving channel prices sharply higher, as AI bottlenecks spread beyond GPUs and memory to the smallest components on circuit boards.

The Supreme Court of South Korea ruled that Samsung Securities shall pay 1.86 billion won in compensation to the National Pension Service of Korea.

South Korea’s Supreme Court has ruled that Samsung Securities must pay 1.86 billion won to the National Pension Service (NPS) to compensate for losses stemming from a 2018 dividend payout error. In April 2018, the firm mistakenly issued 1,000 shares of stock instead of a 1,000 won cash dividend to each employee; subsequent selling by staff pushed the stock price down by as much as 11.7% during the trading day. The NPS had sought 29.9 billion won in compensation, but a lower court ordered Samsung Securities to pay 1.86 billion won. The Supreme Court upheld that ruling on Wednesday.

Trump responds to secretly switching planes to return to the U.S. to avoid assassination threats: "I have received many threats and follow the military's arrangement."

According to a report by The Washington Post, Donald Trump confirmed he secretly switched planes when departing Turkey last month. The White House had previously led the public to believe Trump returned to the U.S. from Turkey aboard Air Force One, but he was actually assigned to another aircraft. Trump said local time Tuesday that the move was requested by the Secret Service and the military due to security threats. “They wanted me to take another flight, another plane. The safety level is the same, but they asked me to do it, so I did. I followed their arrangement,” he stated. White House staff, traveling press corps, and other government officials returned to the U.S. from the NATO summit in Ankara aboard Air Force One, and were misled into believing the president was traveling with them. This complex arrangement stemmed from Iran’s assassination threat against Trump. When asked why he switched planes, Trump responded: “I guess there is some kind of threat out there. I didn’t ask too many questions. I get a lot of threats.” But Trump declined to reveal the specific details of the threats, nor did he explain why the military deemed it safe for other personnel to travel on the presidential aircraft while he was not allowed to.
