Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/micron" rel="noreferrer noopener">a memory and storage solutions</a> provider, has seen its stock surge by over 42% year-to-date. This performance significantly outpaces the Nasdaq Composite&#8217;s and S&amp;P 500&#8217;s almost 6% returns.
The strong demand for its memory chips, particularly High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), specifically HBM3E, has been a key driver. HBM3E is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44394665/microns-hbm3e-and-socamm-products-boost-ai-server-performance-partnering-with-nvidia" rel="noreferrer noopener">crucial for AI accelerators</a> like Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) or Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Micron&#8217;s HBM3E is a component in Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell and Rubin GPU lines and is also being supplied to other customers for use in GPUs and ASICs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Favorable Market And Policy Environment</h2>
The recovery in the semiconductor market, coupled with efforts by the U.S. government to bolster the domestic semiconductor industry, has boosted chip companies&#8217; valuations. Micron has benefited from a recovery in memory chip pricing and reported increased sales in both data centers and consumer markets.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Macroeconomic Tailwinds: &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill&#8221; And CHIPS Act</h2>
Recent macro events have further added value to the industry. On July 4, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the &#8220;Big Beautiful Bill,&#8221; which proposes to increase the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46239376/nvidia-intel-broadcom-micron-amd-and-other-chipmakers-stand-to-benefit-as-trumps-tax-bill-increases-incentives-to-make-semiconductors-in-us" rel="noreferrer noopener">semiconductor investment tax credit</a> from 25% to 30% through 2026.
This offers chipmakers an incentive to expand domestic manufacturing facilities. Furthermore, Trump established the United States Investment Accelerator within the Commerce Department via executive order, taking direct control of the CHIPS Act program and shifting its oversight from previous frameworks.
Despite his past criticism of the $39 billion in grants and up to $75 billion in loans under the CHIPS and Science Act, Trump is now promoting pro-chip policies through this new bill, which has passed the Senate and awaits House approval.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Micron&#8217;s Strategic U.S. Expansion</h2>
Micron has been pursuing its growth ambitions through substantial investments in the U.S. On June 12, Micron and the Trump Administration <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45906594/micron-and-trump-announce-200-billion-us-chip-expansion-plan-aiming-to-create-90k-jobs" rel="noreferrer noopener">unveiled plans</a> to invest approximately $200 billion in U.S. expansion.
This plan includes the development of two fabs in Idaho, up to four in New York, and the modernization of its existing Virginia plant. An additional $50 billion is earmarked for domestic research and development (R&amp;D) to support Micron&#8217;s leadership in memory technology.
Micron is committed to an extra $30 billion beyond its prior announcements, with new efforts specifically targeting HBM packaging and the construction of a second Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) fab in Boise, Idaho.
This aims to boost production and reduce time to market. The company projects the creation of up to 90,000 direct and indirect jobs and intends to produce 40% of its DRAM in the U.S., co-locating Idaho fabs with R&amp;D operations for operational scale and speed.
Micron is eligible for up to $6.4 billion in CHIPS Act direct funding and Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness (AMIC). It has already finalized a $275 million grant to modernize its Virginia facility and onshore advanced DRAM nodes, crucial for critical sectors such as automotive, defense, and healthcare.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Financial Performance</h2>
On June 25, Micron reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/06/46104401/micron-q3-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-estimates-data-center-revenue-guidance-ai-demand" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter revenue </a>of $9.3 billion, up roughly 16% on a year-over-year basis, topping the consensus estimate of $8.87 billion. Micron expects fourth-quarter revenue of $10.7 billion, plus or minus $300 million, versus estimates of $9.88 billion. The company said it remains on track to deliver record revenue with solid profitability and free cash flow in fiscal 2025.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Risks And Challenges</h2>
However, Micron faces certain risks. Following the quarterly results, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46111337/micron-ceo-cautions-ai-boom-may-not-be-fully-sustainable-flags-tariff-driven-demand-pull-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">cautioned that the recent AI-driven demand</a> might not be entirely sustainable, citing potential short-term distortions stemming from global trade tensions.
He warned investors about tariff-related order pull-ins, suggesting that some customers may have accelerated purchases to circumvent potential trade disruptions. While data center growth was strong in the third quarter, Mehrotra advised caution, indicating that the surge could be partly front-loaded and not fully indicative of steady long-term demand.
Bank of America&#8217;s Vivek Arya maintained a<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/46123124/micron-weak-pc-phone-demand-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener"> cautious stance</a> on Micron due to ongoing weak demand in the PC and smartphone sectors, which continues to exert pressure on memory chip pricing despite the company&#8217;s earnings and outlook.
On July 8, rival Samsung (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) reported a 56% drop in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46288786/us-export-bans-and-nvidia-supply-issues-crush-samsung-chip-profits-hopes-rest-on-ultra-thin-foldables-smartwatches-and-possible-xr-debut-at-galaxy-unpacked-event" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter operating profit</a> to 4.6 trillion won (approximately $3.3 billion), falling short of expectations.
Samsung attributed this decline to inventory value adjustments and delays in HBM chip shipments to Nvidia, noting that U.S. export restrictions on AI chips to China heavily impacted its semiconductor business. This marked Samsung&#8217;s weakest profit in six quarters, a decline from 10.4 trillion won a year earlier.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Outlook</h2>
Twenty-six analysts have set a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MU/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus price target</a> of $149.77 for Micron. Based on the latest ratings from Baird, Susquehanna, and Stifel, the stock carries an average target of $168.33, suggesting a potential upside of 38.49%.
Price Action: MU stock is trading higher by 1.34% to $121.53 premarket at last check Tuesday.

Micron Stock Soars 42% In 2025, But CEO Warns Of Demand Pull-Ins

U.S. stock futures were fluctuating on Tuesday after trimming gains from their records on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were trading mixed.
President Donald Trump announced sweeping <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46281204/wall-street-today-trump-tariffs-japan-south-korea-stocks-drop">25% tariffs</a> on all imports from Japan and South Korea, and sent letters to a total of 14 countries, all posted on his Truth Social account, starting Aug. 1. 
Japan&#8217;s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has since voiced his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46288472/japans-prime-minister-criticizes-trumps-tariff-decision-shigeru-ishiba-calls-move-truly-regrettable">dissatisfaction with Trump's decision</a> to impose 25% tariffs on goods imported from the country, calling it "truly regrettable." 
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.41% and the two-year bond was at 3.90%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 95.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
BlackRock shifted its investment focus from traditional macro anchors to &#8220;mega forces&#8221; like AI, believing these will be &#8220;durable drivers of returns in both the near and long term.&#8221;
This tactical change comes as long-term macro stability wanes, yet the firm sees no need to reduce risk. Instead, they view AI-related investments as a &#8220;new anchor for returns,&#8221; bolstered by &#8220;immutable economic laws&#8221; that limit rapid global change.
This strategy keeps BlackRock &#8220;risk on&#8221; and overweight U.S. equities, anticipating solid corporate earnings despite potential growth dents from tariffs or caution.
Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates said that tariffs are roiling markets again.
&#8220;Tariffs are back on the front burner as the July 9th deadline is upon us. Rumors abound on pending agreements, along with threats if trading partners aren&#8217;t responsive in a timely fashion. But after the first 90-day delay, expectations are that nothing particularly painful will persist for long, and that the saber rattling will continue,&#8221; he said.
Navellier also highlighted that since the date for actual tariff increases has been pushed to Aug. 1st, &#8220;For now, we&#8217;re seeing some modest hedging taking place today, which isn&#8217;t particularly painful given the recent new all-time highs in stocks.&#8221;

US Stocks Likely To Open Mixed As Trump Issues Tariff Letters: Experts Peg AI Investments As 'Durable Drivers Of Returns'

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched an investigation into the recall of close to 1.2 million RAM pickup trucks after the agency reviewed multiple incidents, which caused 7 injuries and 12 incidents involving fire or crash, questioning whether Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) failed to address the issue.
What Happened: The issue stems from the trucks disengaging from the Park setting on the transmission and rolling away unexpectedly despite there being no key in the ignition or the foot being taken off the brake pedal, the agency said in a report on Monday.
The issue affects RAM pickup trucks manufactured between 2013-2018, including the RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 Pickup trucks. The report suggests that 1,187,232 trucks could be affected by the issue.

Why It Matters: The news comes as the Detroit-based manufacturer had issued a separate recall for over 299k vehicles, relating to an issue with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46220764/stellantis-under-new-federal-recall-investigation-for-gear-shifter-issue">shifter cable bushings</a> in the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart.

Organigram Global Inc.

Craig Shapiro, a macro strategist at The Bear Traps Report, says that President Donald Trump&#8217;s approach to inflation management is not that unlike &#8220;running a protection racket,&#8221; one that is built on coercion and intimidation, rather than the use of monetary tools.
What Happened: &#8220;Trump isn't fighting inflation with traditional tools,&#8221; Shapiro said on Monday, in a post on X, adding that &#8220;He's managing it like a boss running a protection racket.&#8221;
According to Shapiro, Trump&#8217;s strategy hinges on behavioral enforcement via public shaming, regulatory threats, and backroom pressure tactics to influence corporate pricing behavior, instead of fiscal and monetary controls.

He cites several examples of this, starting with his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45530157/peter-schiff-slams-trumps-eat-the-tariffs-message-to-walmart-he-might-as-well-ask-it-to-eat-rent-wag">&#8220;eat the tariffs&#8221; remark</a> to Walmart Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45769527/trump-threatened-tariffs-on-apple-and-mattel-why-the-barbie-maker-could-slide-free-but-tim-cooks-com">the tariffs threat</a> to Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and so much more. 
Shapiro calls this model &#8220;Protection Racket Capitalism,&#8221; where major corporations like Walmart, Apple, and Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) play the role of capos expected to enforce price discipline in their respective sectors. &#8220;Maintain discipline in your territory, or else,&#8221; he says.
&#8220;Meanwhile,&#8221; he says, Trump is using other policy tools, such as running deficits, imposing tariffs and pursuing deregulation, all of which he says are inflationary, while the &#8220;narrative is being held together by intimidation.&#8221;
The biggest vulnerability, according to Shapiro, is structural inflation. &#8220;You can jawbone Walmart,&#8221; he says. &#8220;You can threaten refiners. But you can't jawbone the rent.&#8221;
In conclusion, he states that if core inflation metrics were to reaccelerate in late-2025, this entire &#8220;Boss Economy&#8221; model could unravel, revealing a fragile narrative being held together, not by policy strength, but by optics and intimidation.

Why It Matters: This is precisely what Economist Peter Schiff had warned several months ago when Trump had asked Walmart to &#8220;eat the tariffs&#8221; and not pass on the costs to consumers. 
&#8220;Trump said Walmart should eat the tariffs. He might as well tell Walmart to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45530157/peter-schiff-slams-trumps-eat-the-tariffs-message-to-walmart-he-might-as-well-ask-it-to-eat-rent-wag">eat its rent</a>, wages, insurance, utilities, and all of its other costs too,&#8221; Schiff said.
Besides this, Yardeni Research President&nbsp;Ed Yardeni, believes that Trump&#8217;s tariffs have not been inflationary thus far, because falling oil and goods prices are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44828850/trump-tariffs-may-not-ignite-inflation-after-all-says-yardeni?">providing a deflationary backdrop</a>.

OpenAI Sticks With Nvidia: ChatGPT Maker Says No Plans To Use Google's AI Chips At Scale

In the wake of&nbsp;Elon Musk&#8216;s political aspirations, traders who bet against&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) are projected to earn approximately $1.4 billion due to a resultant drop in the company&#8217;s stock.
What Happened: Elon Musk's plan to launch a new U.S. political party has sparked doubts about his focus on Tesla's future. Coupled with his ongoing public clash with President Donald Trump over the tax-cut and spending bill, this led to nearly a 7% drop in Tesla's shares during early trading on Monday, according to a Reuters. 
With the shares valued at $296, those who bet against the electric vehicle maker are poised to make around $1.4 billion, according to data from analytics firm Ortex. This follows a $4 billion profit made by short sellers on June 5, after Tesla&#8217;s largest single-day market value drop, also due to the Musk-Trump social media spat.
By the close of trading, Tesla&#8217;s shares had dropped 6.8% to $293.94, marking a total loss of 22.5% year-to-date.

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s political ambitions have been a point of concern for investors, with some suggesting that the lack of an<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46273662/no-plan-b-teslas-musk-premium-is-on-thin-ice"> alternative CEO </a>could be detrimental to Tesla&#8217;s future. The company&#8217;s shares have been on a downward trajectory, with profits and deliveries hitting multi-quarter lows, leading to investor unease.
Notably, veteran investors and analysts, including Ross Gerber and Dan Ives, have criticized Musk&#8217;s return to politics and questioned the Tesla Board of Directors as the company&#8217;s stock was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46288776/ross-gerber-slams-joke-tesla-board-as-elon-musk-returns-to-politics-dan-ives-says-musk-cannot-start-own-political-party-and-remain-ceo">on a declining</a> spree on Monday.

Tesla Short Sellers To Earn Nearly $1.4 Billion In Profits Amid Elon Musk's Political Ambitions: Report

Memecoins themed around Elon Musk's ‘America Party' are making a splash on price charts, netting quick gains for volatility-loving degens.
What happened: Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>)-based America Party (AMERICA) exploded 129% in the last 24 hours, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/americaparty/">according </a>to CoinMarketCap.
The coin's self-reported market capitalization hit nearly $180 million, although CoinMarketCap said that it had not verified the figures.
Similarly, the America Party (AP) <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/america-party/">rose</a> 6.71% in the last 24 hours and a whopping  483% since the party's launch.

Why It Matters: Musk, the world&#8217;s richest individual, and founder of tech giants such as Tesla and SpaceX, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46265725/elon-musk-announces-formation-of-america-party-emerges-in-wake-of-donald-trumps-historic-spending-bill" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced the formation</a>&nbsp;of a new political party, the America Party, as a countermeasure to what he views as a flawed two-party system.
Musk conducted a poll on X, asking voters about their desire for independence from the existing political framework. The poll garnered over 1.2 million votes, with a majority of 65.4% favoring a new political party.
Interestingly, he confirmed that the party will &#8220;embrace&#8221; Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) because fiat currencies have become &#8220;hopeless.&#8221;

Elon Musk's 'America Party' Inspires Wild Memecoin Surge — One Token Jumps 129% In 24 Hours

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) was forced to reimburse the $10,000 fee charged for its Full Self-Driving or FSD package to a Model Y owner, as well as an additional $7,975 for the arbitration process.
What Happened: Marc Dobin, a lawyer based in Kirkland, Washington, said that Tesla breached the contract under which Dobin purchased the Model Y by not providing him the FSD service even after paying $10,000 extra, the lawyer wrote in a blog post <a href="https://dobinlaw.com/dobin-tesla-arbitration-fsd-refund/">on</a> Monday.
Dobin purchased a 2021 Model Y due to his wife's increasing mobility issues. He purchased the Model Y with the FSD package, which wasn't active at the time. "The promise of a car that could drive my wife around gave us hope that she'd maintain independence as her motor skills declined," he said about the FSD tech.
However, Tesla introduced a "safety score" rating system that rated drivers based on undisclosed parameters before unlocking FSD beta. "This requirement was nowhere in any paperwork related to the purchase," he said in the post before adding that the service remained locked &#8220;despite safe driving."
Dobin also said that FSD required driver intervention even when unlocked. "It was clear Tesla's &#8216;Full Self-Driving&#8217; was nowhere near autonomous," Dobin wrote in the post.
He filed an arbitration after waiting 60 days, as stipulated in the contract. Dobin waited for almost a year before the evidentiary hearing was held via Zoom. Tesla had two lawyers and a sales technician present to defend the $10,000 case.
On June 30, it was ruled that Tesla breached the agreement by "failing to disclose the Safety Score prerequisite" and was ordered to pay $10,600 (FSD + tax) to Dobin.
"The company probably spent far more than our refund defending a clearly indefensible practice," Dobin said.
Why It Matters: The news comes as Tesla's FSD system has been under scrutiny by the authorities for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46067027/tesla-robotaxi-faces-nhtsa-scrutiny-over-traffic-violations-during-austin-launch">possible traffic violations</a> during last month's Robotaxi launch in Austin.
The company is also facing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46068107/elon-musks-tesla-faces-wrongful-death-lawsuit-over-model-s-crash-which-claimed-3-lives-plaintiffs-call-cars-design-defective-and-unreasonably-dangerous">wrongful death lawsuit</a>, filed by the estate of the victims, following a 2024 crash in New Jersey involving a Tesla Model S. The plaintiffs claim the crash happened due to the Model S's "defective and unreasonably dangerous design."
In two separate incidents, a Tesla Model 3 was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45945298/tesla-model-3-on-fsd-mode-struck-by-train-after-getting-trapped-on-railroad-tracks-report">struck by a train</a> as it got stuck on a railroad track and a Tesla Cybertruck was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45991698/tesla-cybertruck-caught-driving-in-wrong-lane-on-fsd-just-days-before-robotaxi-launch">driving in the wrong lane</a> for an extended period. Both incidents posed a danger to the occupants' safety and happened as the vehicles were in "self-driving mode."

Elon Musk's Tesla Forced To Pay Nearly $18,000 In Model Y FSD Arbitration: 'Full Self-Driving Was Nowhere Near Autonomous'

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has filed an appeal against the €500 million ($586 million) fine imposed by the European Union (EU) over alleged anti-competitive practices on its App Store.
What Happened: The EU&#8217;s executive arm, the European Commission, previously charged Apple of violating its laws by restricting app developers from informing customers about alternative offers or marketplaces outside the App Store. The commission also alleged that Apple was steering customers towards in-app purchases, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvjdm4mp92o">reported</a> BBC.
Apple has contested the fine, calling it &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; and stated that the decision and its penalty &#8220;go far beyond what the law requires&#8221;. The company is also objecting to the additional concessions the Commission is demanding, which it claims will add complexity to its services and negatively impact users and businesses.
The fine imposed on Apple in April was the first under the EU&#8217;s Digital Markets Act (DMA), a significant legislation aimed at promoting fair business practices in online markets. The DMA also imposes stricter obligations on companies designated as dominant &#8220;gatekeepers&#8221; in certain sectors and threatens hefty fines for rule breaches.
Paolo Pescatore, a technology analyst at PP Foresight, described Apple&#8217;s appeal as a &#8220;widely expected move&#8221; that could set a precedent for others. He also noted that the process of enforcing the required changes could be lengthy and complex.

Why It Matters: This appeal follows a series of events that began with the European Union imposing a total of $800 million in fines on Apple and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) in April 2025 for violating the bloc&#8217;s Digital Markets Act. Apple was fined approximately $570 million for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44952117/apple-and-meta-fined-nearly-800-million-for-violating-european-unions-digital-markets-act">restricting app </a>developers from informing users about alternative sales or promotions outside the App Store and for limiting access to competing app stores on Apple devices.
In response, Apple announced new terms in June 2025, allowing developers in the European Union to communicate and promote external purchase offers, marking a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46133145/apple-opens-eu-app-store-to-external-payments-to-avoid-fines-under-digital-markets-act-but-adds-new-fees">compliance step</a> under the Digital Markets Act. The updated terms enable developers to direct users to alternative payment channels, including websites, alternative app marketplaces, or other apps.
On a year-to-date basis, Apple stock slumped 13.9%, as per Benzinga Pro.
