AI capex cycle alignment
Mapping confidence
The skill's conviction in this thesis-to-securities mapping — independent of the thesis's own confidence.
Membership unchanged; alignmentConfidence eases 0.87 to 0.85 because the basket's members now diverge on a factor the thesis does not name - financing. 
Micron's record quarter confirmed demand for 
AI capex sustained but with China decoupling tail risk, yet 
the drawdown sorted the names by balance-sheet and competition exposure rather than by demand. NVDA holds and AVGO firms as the cash-generative leaders; AMD eases after giving back most of its September gain; ORCL eases most as the debt-financed name; MU keeps its fit with a wider band and moves above ORCL.
Aligned securities
Ranked candidates, highest structural fit first.
NVIDIA
Alignment strength
How strongly this security participates if the thesis fully plays out.
Held at 0.90. NVDA fell only 1.5% on the window through a rout that took more than $1 trillion off the sector. Primary-vehicle on liquidity, franchise breadth and the least financing sensitivity in the basket.

Alignment strength
How strongly this security participates if the thesis fully plays out.
Eased 0.90 to 0.88 with the band widened. AMD fell 9.3% on the window and 12.1% from its October 6 high, giving back most of the agentic-CPU repricing that lifted it in September. The structural fit is intact; the window showed it carries more momentum risk than NVDA.

Alignment strength
How strongly this security participates if the thesis fully plays out.
Firmed 0.86 to 0.87. AVGO fell only 1.2%, the most resilient name through the rout, on custom-silicon exposure funded from cash flow.

How strongly this security participates if the thesis fully plays out.
Firmed 0.74 to 0.75 with the band widened 0.08 to 0.10. Micron beat its own guide by $4B and guided to $61.5B - the strongest demand evidence in the basket - yet the stock fell 15.4% on 
Chinese memory competition worries. High-beta-proxy whose fit to the thesis improved while its price risk was demonstrated.

Oracle
Alignment strength
How strongly this security participates if the thesis fully plays out.
Eased 0.78 to 0.74 with the band widened. ORCL closed at a window low of 130.55, down 6.4%, and the rout was led by debt-funded AI infrastructure - the channel on which ORCL is the most exposed name in the basket.
