While Micron's revenue guidance was more than 30% above the consensus view, investors are worried that the memory cycle is reaching a peak. Micron forecasts an 81% gross margin for the May quarter.Micron Technology is crushing expectations to a degree that's reminiscent of Nvidia's breakout performances at the beginning of the artificial-intelligence boom three years ago, a Deutsche Bank analyst noted.But its stock is falling 3% on Thursday despite the company's latest blowout earnings report, which saw Micron offer a $19.15 forecast for quarterly adjusted earnings per share at the midpoint, well above the $12.03 analysts had been expecting for the May period."All that matters" is when the actual peak in the memory cycle comes, Klein said in a note to investors, adding that that could be late next year or in early 2028. If that's the case, Klein said analysts will ultimately start reducing Micron estimates and investors will be selling the stock months ahead of when those lower number

The S&P 500 could break below its 200-day average as soon as Thursday. The S&P 500 has reached a precarious crossroads that could open the door to more losses ahead.U.S. stocks were flirting with a critical threshold on Wednesday that, if broken, could portend another 10% drop for the S&P 500, according to one technical analyst.The S&P 500 SPX finished Wednesday at 6,624.70, just a hair north of its 200-day moving average at 6,615.70, FactSet data showed.

According to Jonathan Krinsky, BTIG's managing director and chief market technician, this is the third time the S&P 500 has tested the 6,600 level going back to October. If stocks sink on Thursday,

It says something about Nvidia's current state when a trillion dollars in sales counts as mundane.Nvidia hasn't achieved that yet. But the company used its GTC conference this week to project that much in revenue for just two of its chip families for the three-year period ending in 2027. And Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang later made clear that forecast is a floor, as it doesn't include some of the company's latest offerings like the new Groq chip for AI inferencing that was announced at the event.Wall Street's projections for Nvidia's business were already robust. But the trillion-dollar forecast still counts as a beat, as analysts were expecting Nvidia's total data center revenue of around $965 billion for the specified period, according to consensus estimates from Visible Alpha.

Stick a fork in it. Turn out the lights. Hasta la vista.Say it anyway you'd like. The simple truth is the Magnificent Seven trade is over. Finito. Dead. The collective stock market outperformance of those seven tech icons -- Alphabet, Amazon.com, Apple, Meta Platforms, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Tesla -- is now a thing of the past.The group may still do OK, and some of the individual stocks may even kill it, but the slam-dunk, set-it-and-forget-it, run-circles-around-the-market era of the Mag Seven is gone with the wind.True, folks predicted the demise of the Mag Seven's dominance last year, and it didn't happen. What's different now is that artificial intelligence has thickened the plot.First, AI subverts the tech giants' economies of scale by lowering the relatively high fixed cost
