  • Micron Technology: AI Boom or Too Late to Buy?
    2026/08/26

    Micron Technology has become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, with surging demand for the high-performance memory needed to power AI data centres. But after an extraordinary rise in its share price, has the opportunity already passed?

    In this episode of the Intelligent Wealth Podcast, Tony Byrne is joined by Awet Ghirmay and Carl Roberts to examine the investment case for Micron Technology.

    They discuss Micron’s valuation and financial strength, its exposure to artificial intelligence and high-bandwidth memory (HBM), its competitive position against Samsung and SK Hynix, and why the memory-chip industry has historically been so cyclical.

    They also explore some of the biggest risks facing investors, including enormous capital expenditure requirements, growing Chinese semiconductor competition and whether today’s extraordinary demand for memory can be sustained.

    Finally, Tony, Awet and Carl give their individual verdicts on the question that matters most:

    Would they invest in Micron at today’s price?

    In this episode:

    • Micron’s financials and valuation
    • The extraordinary rise in its share price
    • AI and high-bandwidth memory
    • Micron’s competitive advantages
    • The threat from China
    • Samsung and SK Hynix
    • Capital expenditure and cyclicality
    • Whether the AI memory boom can continue
    • Our final investment verdict

    Is Intuitive Surgical a dominant monopoly — or a stock priced to perfection?

    In this episode of The Intelligent Wealth Podcast, we take a deep dive into Intuitive Surgical (ISRG), the company behind the Da Vinci robotic surgery system, and analyse whether it’s still a compelling long-term investment.

    • The “razor and blade” recurring revenue model
    • Why switching costs in healthcare are so powerful
    • Financials: growth, margins, and balance sheet strength

    • The future of robotic surgery and AI in healthcare
    • Would we personally invest? (2 vs 1 decision)

    In this episode of The Intelligent Wealth Podcast, we take a deep dive into Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), examining its competitive advantages, financial strength, management team, valuation, and long-term prospects.

    Apple has created enormous wealth for shareholders over the past decade, including Warren Buffett, whose investment grew from around $35 billion to over $185 billion.

    • Warren Buffett's investment in Apple
    • Apple's share buyback strategy
    • The company's position in artificial intelligence
    • Tim Cook's leadership and succession questions
    • Apple's competitive advantages and ecosystem
    • The biggest risks facing the business today
    • Whether we would invest in Apple stock at current valuations

  • Arista Networks: AI Goldmine or Priced to Perfection?
    2026/07/05

    Arista Networks may be one of the most important AI infrastructure companies most investors have never heard of.

    Is Arista Networks one of the biggest hidden winners of the AI boom — or is the stock already priced to perfection?

    In this episode of The Intelligent Wealth Podcast, we take a deep dive into Arista Networks (ANET), one of the most important companies powering AI infrastructure, cloud networking and modern data centres.

    Despite being relatively unknown to many investors, Arista has delivered extraordinary growth over the last decade, massively outperforming the S&P 500 while building relationships with major technology companies including Meta and Microsoft.

    We discuss:

    • Arista Networks’ role in AI infrastructure
    • Why the company has taken market share from Cisco
    • Its capital-light business model and huge free cash flow
    • The risks around AI spending and customer concentration
    • Whether the valuation is now too expensive
    • Why management ownership matters
    • Would we personally invest today?

    Arista Networks has become one of the most profitable and dominant networking companies in the world — but does that make it a great investment at today’s price?
