Brief

ContrarianCurse (2026-06-20) argues that equipment exposure—driven by four large players they estimate at roughly $2 trillion—has become big enough to produce a fresh 'LO pain trade' (pressure on long-only investors). The post then names a batch of companies expected to report 'hot earnings' (valuation intentionally ignored): BE, ONTO, CAMT, AMAT, BESI, AIXA, ASML, Q, ESI, ENTG, STM, TXN, IFX, LITE and TSEM.

Why it matters

Author @ContrarianCurse (post dated 2026-06-20) claims 'equipment (which big 4 is around 2T)' has grown large enough to trigger a new round of 'LO pain trade' (implying long-only funds may be forced to react).

Key details

  • Shares with 'hot earnings' the author lists (valuation ignored) are: BE, ONTO, CAMT, AMAT, BESI, AIXA, ASML, Q, ESI, ENTG, STM, TXN, IFX, LITE, TSEM — AIXA appears twice in the list.
Source evidence

Piss these flew. Think that now equipment (which big 4 is around 2T) has become big enough for the latest round of the LO pain trade
