24/7 Wall St. sets a 12-month price target of $1,059.58 for Micron, implying about 7.9% upside from $982.14, and rates the stock a hold with 90% model confidence. The article notes that Street targets are higher, with a consensus of $1,555.13 and 92% of analysts bullish. Micron's shares fell 4.55% on Monday after reports that Chinese rival CXMT is progressing on a new chip, though the stock is still up 244.33% year to date and about 22% below its 52-week high of $1,254.81. Fiscal Q4 revenue reached $54.23 billion and non-GAAP EPS $33.42, both above estimates, while guidance points to $61.50 billion in revenue for fiscal Q1. The article's main risk is the memory cycle, with the bear case at $791.94 and fiscal 2026 capex of $30.7 billion.

- Micron Falls 5% as China’s CXMT Targets Server Memory; SanDisk Drops 4%
Micron Technology shares fell 5% to $942.21 in morning trading as CXMT, a privately held Chinese rival, said it plans to launch a denser server memory product by the end of this year, a move into the high-end server market where Micron competes directly. SanDisk fell 4% to $1,421.78 even though it has no server memory line, which the article attributes to sentiment spilling over across the memory group. The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) dropped 5% to $51.73, while the Invesco QQQ Trust fell only 0.7%. This is the second straight session of losses for the group, and Micron recently reported record fiscal Q4 2026 results and guided the current quarter above that level.
- Analyst Sees TSLA-SPCX Merger Coming By December, but Prediction Markets Aren’t Buying It
Barclays analyst Dan Levy said a Tesla–SpaceX merger, both led by Elon Musk, could be announced before Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, potentially by early December, to vertically integrate AI technology. He warned that a timeline slipping into October or early November could challenge merger approval, noting that 11% of votes at Tesla's 2025 annual meeting were broker non-votes effectively counted against. Musk holds roughly 85% of voting rights in SpaceX and 19.9% in Tesla as of a June 2026 filing, and critics warn that more voting power could erode shareholder rights. On prediction markets, Polymarket bettors gave a 24% chance of a merger by the end of December 2026, while Kalshi bettors gave 52% for a merger before May 2027.
- Prediction: Micron Could Turn $10,000 Into a Fortune by 2030
The author predicts that Micron (MU) could turn a $10,000 investment made today into nearly $42,000 by 2030, calling this the conservative end of his estimated range. He attributes Micron's strong 2026 performance to soaring memory chip prices, as demand outpaces supply and new capacity takes time to build. Management expects tighter market conditions in 2027 and 2028, and Wall Street analysts project 106% revenue growth for fiscal 2027, which began Sept. 4, and 16% for fiscal 2028, though the author discounts the 2028 forecast. Micron has long-term sales agreements running through 2030 and new fabrication facilities opening in mid-2027 and late 2028. Using $318 billion in fiscal 2027 revenue, 30% annual growth and a 60% profit margin, the author estimates nearly $700 billion in revenue and $419 billion in net income by 2030, implying an $8.4 trillion valuation at 20 times earnings or $4.19 trillion at 10 times earnings.
- Prediction: A $10,000 Investment in This Artificial Intelligence (AI) Hardware Stock Will At Least Double by 2030 (Hint: It’s Not Nvidia or Micron)
The article argues that Jabil (JBL), a contract electronics manufacturer, could double by 2030 on strong demand for AI server racks, cooling systems and power management solutions. Jabil’s fiscal 2026 revenue reached $36 billion, up 21%, with AI revenue rising to $14.4 billion from $5.4 billion, and the company expects AI revenue of $22.1 billion in fiscal 2027. Consensus estimates put earnings per share at $25.93 in fiscal 2029. Assuming 15% EPS growth in fiscal 2030 and a 22x earnings multiple, the author estimates the stock could reach $660, 128% above its current price, which would make a $10,000 investment worth over $22,750 by the end of the decade.
- Micron Just Raised Its Buyback Authorization to $35 Billion. Prediction: It Spends More Buying Back Stock in the Next Year Than in the Past 8 Combined.
Micron's board raised its buyback authorization to $35.16 billion on Oct. 8, as disclosed in its annual report filed Oct. 9. Almost all of that figure comes from one quarter: the $2.16 billion left under the earlier program plus 100% of the last quarter's adjusted free cash flow after dividends, about $33 billion. The author expects Micron to spend more on buybacks in the next year than the $7.84 billion it spent over the past eight fiscal years, though the authorization does not force purchases and CHIPS Act grant conditions restrict repurchases early on. At a share price near $985, the full authorization would buy only about 35 million shares, roughly 3% of the 1.13 billion outstanding, so the effect on share count and earnings per share may be small. The author still sees the stock as reasonable at about 13 times fiscal 2026 earnings, but says memory prices are likely to drive its next move more than buybacks do.

- CoreWeave Dropped 20% Last Week. Is It Time to Panic or Buy?
CoreWeave shares fell more than 20% as of Oct. 16, driven mainly by concerns over debt and spending. The company carries about $35 billion in total debt against $5.5 billion in cash, with net interest payments reaching $640 million in the second quarter alone, unsecured bond yields approaching 15%, and an S&P rating of B+. Capital expenditure was just over $16 billion in the first half of 2026 and could reach $39 billion for the year, roughly triple its $12.4 to $13.2 billion revenue guidance. States are also weighing restrictions on data centers. On the positive side, second-quarter revenue rose 112% year over year and the backlog exceeded $104 billion. The author has reservations and sees the drop as an opportunity only for the most risk-tolerant investors, who might build a position slowly, while the company needs to prove it can convert its backlog efficiently and manage debt.
- Apple’s iPhone Duo Sold Out In Minutes. The Last Time Apple Reinvented The Phone, One Apple Supplier’s Stock Soared About 1,200% In A Decade
Apple's first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, sold out within minutes of its worldwide preorders opening on Oct. 16, but buyers who ordered more than an hour later face a delay of nearly three months, according to Korea JoongAng Daily, which puts the U.S. starting price at $1,999. One unnamed supply-chain source said Foxconn's final-assembly yield was just above 60% heading into late September, against the 90%-plus rate Apple typically expects, and the hinge, which holds more than 100 parts, is cited as a constraint. Analyst Jeff Pu cut his 2026 shipment estimate from 7 million to 6 million, while reported forecasts range from about 6 million to 10 million units. The article also recalls that Skyworks Solutions, identified as the power-amplifier supplier of the original iPhone, rose about 1,200% over a decade, though those figures cover price only.
- Why Sandisk Stock Shot Higher Today
Sandisk shares jumped as much as 8.3% and were still up 7.9% at 11:24 a.m. ET, helped by a tech rebound and positive news in high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Nvidia has developed NVHBM, a custom HBM die with 15% lower power consumption and 30% higher bandwidth that links NVLink and HBM chips. A Seoul Economic Daily report says Nvidia asked Samsung Electronics to use TSMC's 3-nanometer process to make NVHBM dies, the first such collaboration between the two. Nvidia has also approached Micron and SK Hynix to standardize the process, which could free compute-die space for up to 30% additional compute. The article argues this suggests AI adoption still has room to grow, which would also benefit memory suppliers, and notes Sandisk trades at 19 times earnings and 6 times forward earnings.
- JPMorgan Picks Ethereum for JPM Coin, Citing the Network’s Liquidity and Client Use
JPMorgan is launching JPM Coin, its dollar deposit token, on Ethereum and will offer it to institutional clients there, as announced Monday and reported by Bloomberg. Emma Landriault, global head of Kinexys Labs, said Ethereum's liquidity and the fact that the bank's clients already use it drove the choice. The token targets large crypto firms that pay onchain and financial institutions active in tokenized assets, which can use it as onchain cash to settle trades or as collateral. JPM Coin debuted last year on Base, and it lets clients move dollars in seconds at any hour, whereas a transfer can otherwise take several days. JPMorgan's private Kinexys network already handles daily volume above $7 billion, the bank's payments arm handles around $12 trillion in daily payments, and Open Standard launched its OUSD stablecoin on Ethereum, Solana, Base and Tempo last month.
- Prediction : Amazon Next Chapter Could Be Its Most Important One Yet
24/7 Wall St. sets a price target of $332.67 for Amazon (AMZN), 30.4% above the current $255.20, and rates the stock a buy with 70% confidence. The thesis rests on AWS, which grew 37% last quarter, its fastest pace in 18 quarters, while Amazon plans to spend about $200B in 2026 on AI infrastructure, chips, robotics and satellites. The article flags risks: trailing free cash flow turned negative at about -$7.6B after second-quarter capex rose 68.44%, and long-term debt climbed to $119.1B from $65.6B. It compares Amazon's valuation with Microsoft and Alphabet, and says the author would stay constructive if AWS growth stays above 30% and free cash flow turns positive in 2027.
- Explainer - What behind Egypt move towards possible military involvement in Saudi - Yemen conflict ?
Egypt's parliament is expected to vote next week on authorising its armed forces to help defend Saudi Arabia against Houthi attacks from Yemen, if Riyadh requests support. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi made the request in a Saturday speech, a clear escalation from Cairo's measured tone since the Iran war began, though Egypt has not publicly committed to a direct combat role. Egypt relies heavily on Gulf states for remittances, aid and deposits, including a $5.3 billion Saudi deposit at Egypt's central bank due this month. Analysts say security concerns, including a July drone strike on two gas vessels at Damietta and shared interest in Red Sea shipping, are pushing Cairo toward a more active stance. Egypt receives about $1.3 billion a year in US military aid and previously sent air and naval forces to the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen in 2015.
