Good afternoon. QQQs -66bps disproving Newton’s 4th law of motion which says stocks should always go up. What happened today? Some investor pushback against the NVDA/ORCL deal, energy catching a bid which usually causes some unwindy action vs. Tech (Oil / XLE +2%), many names are very extended, and as MS put it: “There is inherent portfolio vulnerability within the HF crowded longs to beta as well.” Still, it’s only one day and <1% so after a massive 3 week run let’s not go overboard with the narratives yet — we pointed out the ingredients in our weekly for the upcoming 2 week period that would make it an ideal window for pullback/digestion.

Micron’s HBM4 12H (12-high) remains on track to support customer platform ramps even as the performance requirements for HBM4 bandwidth and pin speeds have increased. We have recently shipped customer samples of our HBM4 with industry-leading bandwidth exceeding 2.8 TBps and pin speeds over 11Gbps…we expect to conclude agreements to sell out the remainder of our total HBM calendar 2026 supply in the coming months
