Sign InAmid growing optimism over the sustainability of tech sector capital expenditure, memory and semiconductor stocks staged a sharp rebound. According to reports, shares of Micron and Sandisk posted significant gains driven by positive outlooks for AI-related spending. This upward movement followed Samsung Electronics' announcement of a massive jump in chip profits, alongside projections that global semiconductor shortages could persist until 2028, easing recent investor concerns regarding oversupply.
The rally was further bolstered by a robust AI spending outlook from Microsoft, which reinforced confidence across the sub-sector. Per market data, MU closed at $739, while MSFT reached $390.54 (as of July 29, 2026). During the same period, other tech giants showed relative stability, with META closing at $585.61 and GOOGL at $336.71, highlighting a concentrated interest in hardware and memory providers over broader software platforms.
Traders should monitor current price levels as SNDK settled at $1,015.89 (close July 29, 2026) after hitting a daily high of $1,124.8. Looking ahead, while the immediate economic calendar lacks direct semiconductor catalysts, markets will be watching for stabilization in global manufacturing trends following recent mixed PMI data from the US and Europe, which may impact long-term tech supply chain dynamics.
