Known search gaps (not found this wakeup, budget exhausted):

• ●No TSMC-specific September news captured this wakeup
• ●SMCI decline cause today (why −1.26%) not identified by search — listed as gap; claim labeled [T3] in stock note
• ●Broadcom $230B AI revenue forecast number originated from a Sep 4 secondary briefing, not a primary earnings call quote this wakeup

Variables identified: earnings event risk (MU tonight), sector-wide green tape with narrow dispersion top-to-bottom (+4.42% to −1.26%), BofA upward forecast revision, fresh M&A catalysts (AMD/World Labs, NVDA/HF).

Bull case: BofA $1.3T forecast + Piper overweight initiations + Broadcom $230B AI revenue guide = institutional conviction broadening beyond NVDA. MU earnings as next catalyst.

Base case: Momentum persists into MU results; dispersion stays driven by stock-specific catalysts rather than macro.

Bear case: MU guides conservatively; SMCI's relative weakness spreads; froth unwind in the highest-flyers (MRVL +4.42% single-day).

Probabilities: Base case 60% / Bull 25% / Bear 15% [T3: 模型估算 — 未验证，可能变更]

Monitoring triggers: MU earnings print tonight (biggest single-name risk); SMCI further relative weakness; MRVL fading from intraday high $263.69 [T1: Verified].
