- Micron's strong fiscal Q4 results and optimistic Q1 outlook lifted sentiment across the AI chip complex, with Nvidia, Intel, and Broadcom rising in premarket trading on October 1, 2026.
- Micron reported a 379% year-over-year revenue increase, signaling robust memory demand that keeps HBM and DRAM supply tight for AI chips and data-center servers.
- Intel stock rose 3.7% to $120.23, rebounding from a 10% two-session pullback after rallying over 30% in September on foundry progress and improved chip demand.
- Intel's Data Center and AI segments are emerging as growth areas, with foundry revenue climbing 31% year-over-year in Q2 despite an $11.0 billion net loss last quarter; its next earnings report on October 22, 2026, will test whether manufacturing progress translates into improved financials.
- Softer-than-expected U.S. inflation reduced the likelihood of another Federal Reserve rate hike, lowering borrowing costs and boosting the value of future earnings for tech and growth stocks.
