$Micron Technology(MU)$   Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) has been one of the hottest performers on the stock market over the past year, but its shares have witnessed a substantial pullback after reaching a 52-week high on June 25. Specifically, Micron stock is down nearly 28% from its 52-week high. This steep slide in the memory specialist's shares is quite surprising when we consider that it reported incredible results toward the end of June, along with impressive guidance. Clearly, external factors are impacting this high-growth company. So, even if Chinese memory manufacturers bring more supply to the market, undersupply is likely to persist. After all, shipments of personal computers and smartphones are takin

These four earnings reports did not prove that the storage cycle is ending. If anything, they confirmed the opposite: AI data-center orders remain strong, storage prices are still rising, and supply remains tight. What has changed is the market’s scoring system. Previously, revenue growth and record profits were enough to push a stock higher. Now, even the strongest results in a company’s history can trigger a selloff if they fail to beat already-extreme consensus expectations. That is also how I view the upcoming earnings report from $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ The results will probably be very strong. The problem is that “very strong” may no longer be enough.

Stop calling it a bounce. A bounce is what happens when nothing changed. What happened Thursday is different. Four separate entities, Samsung, Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple, each independently confirmed within 24 hours that the AI memory shortage is real, worsening, and extending further than the market had priced. When the buy-side was selling memory stocks on CXMT IPO fears and AI capex peak anxiety, the sell-side of that trade just had its thesis demolished by the four largest technology companies on Earth. Here is the full picture. Samsung reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue with operating profit of 89.5 trillion won, ahead of expectations. More importantly, it warned that memory supply constraints may persist into 2028 and signed multi-year supply agreements with major data cen

The powerful rally across memory stocks points to a genuine fundamental trend restart rather than a temporary short squeeze. Strong profit figures from Samsung alongside comments from tech giants regarding tight memory supply and rising costs confirm that the memory downturn has bottomed. High bandwidth memory demand driven by AI servers is structurally constraining standard DRAM and NAND supply, giving producers significant pricing power. While extreme single day gains usually invite brief pullbacks, the underlying shift in supply and demand mechanics provides a solid foundation for further medium term upside.

Doesn't make sense ❗The markets are showing bullish on memory stocks but I don't see any backlogs numbers of the memory chips from these companies ❗❗❗ 6 months, 1 years, ....etc backlog ❓

The rally looks like more than just a short squeeze, but it is probably not yet a clean trend restart. Samsung's strong profit rebound supports the idea that the memory cycle is improving, while Apple and Amazon both highlighting rising memory costs and tight supply suggests demand, especially for AI-related DRAM and HBM, remains robust. That is a fundamentally supportive signal. However, gains of 18% to 26% in a single session also point to heavy short covering after an extremely oversold period. Traders who had bet on a cycle peak were forced to unwind positions, magnifying the move. The key test now is whether: Memory contract prices continue rising over the next few months. HBM demand remains strong without weakness spreading to conventional DRAM and NAND. Upcoming earnings and guidanc

V shape. boom boom shake the room.

After several brutal sessions, global technology stocks finally staged a powerful rebound. The Nasdaq rose 2.8%, while Microsoft’s post-earnings surge helped lift AI chips, cloud stocks and data-center names across the board. The move became even more dramatic in Asia. South Korea’s KOSPI jumped sharply, with Samsung Electronics and SK hynix surging as investors rushed back into semiconductor names. Taiwan’s market also rebounded strongly, led by TSMC. At first glance, this looks like a classic V-shaped reversal. But the more important question is: Has the correction really ended, or is the market only beginning a longer U-shaped repair process? Why did the rebound happen so quickly? The first reason is earnings. Microsoft showed that AI spending can already translate into cloud revenue, p

$Apple(AAPL)$ beat on revenue for its fiscal third quarter and fell 5.74 per cent after hours. Once the same call had wrapped up, $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ rose 4.61 per cent in extended hours and $SK hynix(SKHY)$ 3.76 per cent. Between the two sits a single remark from Tim Cook: memory supply is tight, it will hit next quarter, and the company is stockpiling hard to get ahead of significant supply constraints. On Apple's books that sentence is a cost. On a memory maker's books it is revenue. One fact, two income statements, opposite signs. Before we put the whole 5.74 per cent on that one line: the same results missed

There is a coherent argument for SK Hynix being the most resilient name, but it is not guaranteed to outperform. SK Hynix derives a larger share of earnings from high-bandwidth memory (HBM), where demand is still driven by AI accelerators and supply remains relatively tight. Micron and SanDisk have greater exposure to conventional DRAM or NAND pricing, which is more vulnerable if oversupply emerges. That helps explain why SK Hynix declined less. However, resilience is different from immunity. If hyperscaler AI spending slows, HBM demand weakens, or customers digest inventory, SK Hynix will also face pressure. CEO insider selling at Micron may affect sentiment, but it does not necessarily signal an industry peak on its own. The key indicators to watch are HBM pricing, AI capex from hypersca

$Microsoft(MSFT)$ up 7.70% after hours. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$, down 7.10%. Same evening, same underlying fact — both companies are spending unholy amounts of money on AI — and fifteen points of daylight between them. Read those two numbers alone and you'd conclude the market turned on AI capex. It didn't. It did something more annoying: it started sorting. Start with who flipped the switch. The July FOMC didn't move rates and didn't change a word of the guidance. Warsh spoke, and within thirty minutes the ten worst names on the tape were almost all AI. The S&P 500 closed down 1.52% at 7,316.15, the Nasdaq Composite down 1.74%,
