Micron Technology (MU) stock has returned 552% over the past twelve months. At near $1,070 a share, has the price run ahead of the business? On the last twelve months of adjusted earnings, meaning normalized net income with stock-based compensation added back, Micron trades at about 23.5 times. That number looks backward, and memory prices have moved too fast for it to show what Micron earns today.
Lumentum shares rose after it announced an AI optical connectivity demonstration with Corning and Qualcomm at ECOC 2026, pairing its VCSEL lasers with high-density chip-to-chip links.

Momentum in radio frequency chips has a clear name this month. Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ:SWKS) stock has been the standout story, running past its merger partner, its larger listed peer, and the broader semiconductor complex on the way up.

If you hold NVIDIA (NVDA) stock, one number deserves your attention: roughly a quarter. That is the share of fiscal 2028 business management expects from AI labs it will back with its own balance sheet. NVIDIA's revenue more than doubled year over year in fiscal Q2 2027, so this number is easy to miss. An important thing to watch is how much future demand depends on NVIDIA backing its own customers.
