[Stock Prediction] How will MU close after its earnings report?
Click to vote! $Micron Technology(MU)$ will report its fiscal Q3 2026 earnings after the U.S. market closes on Wednesday. As one of the biggest winners in the AI memory trade, Micronβs earnings could set the tone for memory stocks and the broader AI hardware chain. Wall Street expects Micron to report revenue of around $34.66 billion and adjusted EPS of about $20, compared with $1.91 in the same quarter last year. Micronβs own guidance is revenue of $33.5 billion, plus or minus $750 million, and non-GAAP EPS of $19.15, plus or minus $0.40. Gross margin is expected to be around 81%, which would be a record high for the company. Micron has had a massive run over the past year, driven by strong demand for HBM and DRAM from AI data cente
Memory Stocks Crash. Is the AI Bubble Finally Bursting?
Memory stocks got crushed today. The broader market sold off. And suddenly the same questions are everywhere: Is the AI trade over? Has the memory story peaked? Is this the beginning of the AI bubble bursting? Or is Wall Street finally waking up to reality? The funny thing about markets is that everyone feels like Warren Buffett during a bull run. Every gain gets attributed to skill. Every rally feels justified. But the moment volatility returns, conviction disappears. Investors who were comfortable buying after a 300%, 500%, or even 1,000% move suddenly become terrified after a 10% correction. Yet the reality is simple: A stock dropping does not automatically mean the thesis is broken. Price action and fundamentals are not the same thing. And when great companies become cheaper without a
Why Micron's Earnings Could Decide the Next Phase of the AI Bull Run
$ηΎε η§ζ(MU)$$ιͺθΏͺ(SNDK)$$ηΊ³ζ100ETF(QQQ)$ Tomorrow's Micron earnings might be the single most important print in the entire AI supply chain this year. Most people think the market is just trading Micron. It isn't. What the market is really pricing in is how fast AI infrastructure spending will scale over the next two years. The AI Supply Chain Has Entered Phase Two Phase one was about GPUs. Phase two is about memory. For the past two years, the conversation was all about needing more compute. But as model sizes keep growing, inference demand has started to outpace training demand. The real bottleneck isn't just the GPU anymore β it's whether data can actually get to the
This weekβs chart pretty much speaks for itself (+has just made a new all-time high). To clarify, what we are looking at here is the estimated annualized compound growth rate expected by sell-side analysts over a three to five-year horizon aggregated for the S&P500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$ . i.e. consensus earnings growth expectations. Or as I like to call it: Wall Street analyst sentiment. And like all good sentiment indicators there are elements of truth and elements of emotion all mixed up in it. In boom times euphoria takes hold and analysts raise their estimates as stock prices punch higher, new paradigm narratives take hold, and ultimately expectations end up overestimating even the best fundamentals. In doom times pessimism reigns, and analy

Navigate the Fedβs Hawkish Shift: Sector Playbook for Tech, Discretionary, and Staples
The ground has completely shifted under the marketβs feet, and the short answer is: forget about an imminent pivot. The June 2026 FOMC meeting completely shattered the expectation of rate cuts. With newly appointed Fed Chair Kevin Warsh heavily prioritizing stubbornly sticky inflation over labor market performance, the Fed has officially flipped the script. The current macro landscape directly addresses your questions: Are We Going to See More Hikes, or an Imminent Pivot? Expect hikes, not a pivot. The Fed held rates steady at 3.50%β3.75% in June, but their "dot plot" revealed a stark hawkish shift: 9 out of 18 officials now anticipate at least one rate hike by the end of 2026. Major institutions are rapidly adjusting to this reality: The Fed's Outlook: Core PCE inflation forecasts for 202
