Micron's Strong RallyMicron updated guidance for Q2 and now expects revenue in the range of $7.2B to $7.35B from prior guidance of $6.8B to $7.2B and of consensus estimates of $7.02B. In addition, the company expects EPS in the range of $2.70 to $2.75 from prior guidance of $2.51 to $2.65 and consensus estimates of $2.57. The business couldn't be stronger and while recent volatility in the stock market had taken MU under $40 at Monday's close it looks to have made a double bottom. Looking for MU to continue to rally, however the market is in control here and a continued downward trend will derail the recent move.
MU - Is it just a meme?If you randomly picked a few readers of r/WallStreetBets, they'd probably tell you all about Micron (MU) & AMD and how they have fantastic potential. Focusing in on MU: is it going to live up to the hype?
From a technical analysis point of view, I'm inclined to agree! A very textbook flag/triangle pattern is forming - these patterns are generally trend continuation patterns. The semiconductor industry is booming. MU put together a very impressive sequence of earnings beats.
All in all, I believe we should see a breakout very soon!
Lam Research - Earnings trifecta but stock down?Lam Research (LRCX) delivered strongly in their Q4 earnings report, but the stock has since tumbled almost 10%.
The market for semiconductors is not going anywhere...
Target: give it to your grandchildren, or at least until processors using silicon fall out of favor.
SOXX and SOXL are also good ways to get some exposure to LRCX and the semiconductor market.
SOXL (and TXN) at a discountSOXL is a 3x leveraged ETF, whose top 5 holdings are TXN, NVDA, QCOM, INTC, and AVGO. Earlier today, TXN endured a massive sell-off following their unimpressive earnings report, resulting in a hard drop in price for SOXL, as well. However, I don't expect TXN to stay down past this trading week, and when it rebounds, SOXL will be along for the ride. The semiconductors industry is red hot.

Micron Holding SupportMicron Technology (ticker: MU) is one of the largest manufacturers memory and storage solutions. The company is currently benefitting from a significant uptick in demand for its products and has seen an explosion in revenue and profits in recent quarters. Due to our technology loving society data usage, and therefore storage, has been growing off the chart. These are some massively bullish trends. Looking at the chart MU seems to be holding at its floor of support. Watch for the stock to rally back to its all time highs in the coming weeks.
