Micron Technology’s latest quarterly results showed revenue surged more than 400% year over year to $41.5 billion, while gross margin jumped to 84.6% from 37.7% a year earlier and operating cash flow rose to $25.4 billion. The company guided for about $50 billion of revenue next quarter, gross margin of about 86%, and earnings per share of about $30.73. With the stock around $878, that implies a forward P/E of roughly 6x based on the next 12 months’ expected earnings. Separately, SK Hynix has committed $38 billion to new fabs, with the earliest production timing not until after December 2028, suggesting near-term memory supply tightness may persist.

Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in the second quarter of 2026, a 25% increase from a year earlier. The article argues the rebound was shaped by Elon Musk’s deep involvement in U.S. politics in 2025 and by shifting EV incentives across 2025–2026, meaning the delivery gain should not be read as a straightforward signal of strong demand. It discloses operating volume only and does not provide core financial metrics such as gross margin, revenue, or profit.

That stance signals caution about current U.S. equity prices and has fed market watchfulness about the S&P 500’s near-term upside momentum.
