Episode notes

Rambus just saw its stock price fall off a cliff, dropping nearly 11% in after-hours trading following a double-miss on revenue and earnings. Just days after hitting a massive peak of $158, the AI-driven hype train finally hit a wall. Despite a 15% jump in product revenue and high demand for their DDR5 memory chips, the market’s "priced for perfection" expectations proved too high to maintain.

In this episode, we dissect why a healthy, debt-free company with strong cash flow can still see its stock price collapse when valuations get ahead of reality. We break down the $450,000 insider sell-off that happened right at the top, the impact of a 68 P/E ratio, and whether this crash is a warning sign for the broader chip sector—or just a necessary correction for a high-quality player. Tune in to find out if the floor is finished falling.
