01 / 04

Every square is one execution.

Lavender squares are buys, blue squares are sells: 237 of them over twelve months, across memory, chips, optics, space and more.

02 / 04

The year accelerated into its final quarter.

April to June carried 194 of the 237 fills — 82% of the year's activity — as AI-hardware names moved fastest.

03 / 04

Seven themes, one supply chain.

Sorted by theme, the record reads like a map of AI hardware: memory, compute, custom silicon, Korean chipmakers, foundry, optics and space.

04 / 04

Where the gains came from.

Each square is 1% of realized gains. Memory and storage produced 46.5%. Add the Korea ETFs, led by memory makers, and the memory chain reaches 58%.

One idea ran through the year: when AI demand hits a physical bottleneck, the bottleneck gets repriced. The best trades followed it — memory first, then custom silicon, then the chips around them.

02 / HIGHLIGHTS

Six trades that made the year.

Entry to exit, fees included. All six were held for a week or less.

03 / SPEED

Fast when right.

All 63 profitable round trips of the year, by holding period and return. Hover a square to see the trade.

04 / RIDING THE CYCLE

Staying with the memory cycle.

Price change from the first purchase of the year to the best exit achieved. The theme was harvested by returning to the same names again and again, not by holding once.

Measures the stock's move between two of our own executions, not a single-trade return.

05 / CLOSING BOOK

Where the year ended.

Holdings at 30 June 2026 by market value. The whole book sat in the memory and custom-silicon chain the year had been trading.

    06 / NEXT RESEARCH UNIVERSE · SEP 2026

    Ten ideas for the next orbit.

    Ten US-listed companies across AI, semiconductors, power, space, biomedicine and web3, with the question that matters next for each.

    Astra's ten

    Research watchlist dated 26 September 2026. Order is editorial, not a target weight or ranking of expected returns.

    07 / A SECOND OPINION

    Ten more, from Claude.

    Chosen independently of Astra's list. Three names made both — they carry a ✦. Hover or tap one.

    Claude's ten

    Claude's list, 28 September 2026, based on public information available to Claude up to mid-2026. Research prompts, not recommendations; order is editorial.

    Method and sources

    Source: Stake financial-year report pack, 1 July 2025 – 30 June 2026 (US equities; no Australian equities were traded). Return on invested capital = (closing value − opening value − deposits) ÷ (opening value + deposits), in US dollars. Trade returns use first-in, first-out matching and include brokerage; positions held before 1 July 2025 are excluded from trade-level figures.

    Past results do not predict future returns, and nothing here is personal investment advice.
