Many people only see strong AI when reading Google's financial reports. But what really ignited the storage sector this time was not 'how much money Google made', but the market suddenly realized something: Global cloud providers are still expanding their AI infrastructure. Google's Q2 revenue was $119.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 24%. Google Cloud's revenue was $24.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 82%. This growth rate is no longer just ordinary cloud computing growth, but more like AI demand is pulling cloud business back into the highway. Moreover, Google has continued to raise its annual Capex guidance. This is the core of the rebound in the storage sector. Because AI infrastructure is not just about buying GPUs. HBM is required behind the GPU. The server requires DRAM. Data training and inference require SSD. Models, logs, videos, and enterprise data all need to be stored for a long time. The more cloud customers there are, the larger the data center expands, and the higher the storage consumption. So this round of storage rebound is not just about Micron or Hynix's own financial logic, but a repricing of the entire global AI infrastructure chain. What was the market most worried about recently? Worried about AI Capex being too aggressive. Worried about cloud vendors burning money without any return. Worries about storage price increases are only short-term. Worried that Hynix, Micron, and Samsung have already gone too high. But Google's financial report gave the market a reverse signal: Cloud demand is not bad. The demand for AI has not stopped. Big companies are still buying computing power. The data center is still expanding. This will directly affect the global storage chain. Micron consumes DRAM, HBM, and NAND cycles. Hynix uses HBM high bandwidth memory. Samsung is leveraging its comprehensive global storage and wafer manufacturing capabilities. WDC、 Companies like Seagate and SanDisk are focused on enterprise level storage and data center expansion. Previously, the storage industry mainly focused on mobile phones PC、 Consumer electronics inventory. It's different now. The storage industry now needs to consider: Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, Meta data centers, AI inference volume, HBM supply and demand, enterprise SSD prices. That is to say, storage has gradually shifted from the "consumer electronics cycle" to the "AI infrastructure cycle". That's also why the storage sector has rebounded so strongly recently. It's not because the market suddenly isn't afraid of overvaluation. But when it fell before, the market interpreted 'AI spending too much' as a bad thing; Now that the financial report is out, the market is starting to re understand: As long as this money can be exchanged for cloud revenue, AI revenue, and higher customer demand, So these Capex are not just burning money, but sending orders to upstream storage vendors. Of course, if the rebound is too strong, one must remain calm. Storage stocks themselves fluctuate greatly, and the price increase cycle cannot always be linearly upward. What needs to be seen later is not how much it rises in a day, but several core variables: Is HBM still in short supply; Can the DRAM contract price be maintained; Has NAND continued to be repaired; Will cloud vendor Capex continue to upgrade; Can the demand for AI inference truly increase. My opinion is simple: Google's financial report does not directly tell you how much more storage stocks will rise, But at least it indicates that the global AI infrastructure line has not been falsified yet. Short term rebound trading is about emotional recovery. Whether it can continue to move forward in the long run depends on whether cloud providers really continue to buy servers, memory, and storage. This round of storage market seems to be a rebound in chip stocks. Essentially, it is a global data center repricing.
