- iShares PHLX SOX Semiconductor (SOXX) Adds AMD and Micron on Oct. 29

Its largest buys were AMD ($22.0 million, lifting its weight to 9.51%), Micron ($17.8 million), NVIDIA ($17.7 million), Broadcom ($17.0 million) and Texas Instruments ($11.0 million). All were existing holdings that were added to, with no new positions and no exits.

The article says the next thing to watch is whether the fund keeps adding across the board or starts rebalancing its heaviest weights, AMD and Intel, at the next holdings update.
- Even With SOXX and DRAM Down Between 24% and 42% From Their Highs, I'd Still Rather Buy This Vanguard ETF for Semiconductor Stock Exposure
The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) has amassed $26 billion in net assets since launching in April and is up 69.4% year to date, even though it is 41.7% below its high. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) and Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) are up 45.7% and 33.9% year to date, respectively. As of Oct. 19, DRAM's largest holdings were Micron (28.4%), Samsung Electronics (25.7%) and SK Hynix (20.6%), with a 0.65% expense ratio. The author argues that VGT is the better long-term choice, citing its 43.6% semiconductor weighting, top holdings Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Micron, and 314 other holdings, while noting that it invests only in U.S. companies and can be paired with individual stocks.
- Memory stocks slide into another bear market as chip losses near $2.5 trillion: Chart of the Day
The Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) entered another bear market this week, falling more than 20% from its September rebound high and sitting roughly 22% below that peak. It is nearly 40% below June's record close, after plunging nearly 45% from June to late July and then rallying over 40% into September. Samsung Electronics, Micron, SK Hynix and Sandisk have shed more than $700 billion in combined market value since October 6, and a broader Yahoo Finance basket of 61 semiconductor and storage stocks has lost nearly $2.5 trillion. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) posted its eighth straight decline, its longest losing streak since October 2008, even as TSMC reported another record quarterly profit and AI demand stays strong. Investors are questioning how much of the boom will reach shareholders, and DRAM's next major test is its late-July lows near $45, about 9% below Thursday's close.
- Why Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X ETF Crashed Today
The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF (SOXL) fell about 7.36% on the day and more than 26% this week, as investors worried about ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT), a Chinese DRAM maker that recently went public, after it reported progress in “4F square” technology to boost DRAM storage density. Micron fell 13.5% and Sandisk fell 18% this week on fears CXMT could take market share from Western memory makers. Because Micron is SOXL's largest holding at 8.6% and the ETF owns no Sandisk, Micron's smaller decline drove SOXL's drop. The article notes this also means SOXL's gains will be smaller when it rebounds, due to its 3x leverage.

- Fed’s Hammack backs restrictive rates, cites persistent inflation pressures
Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said benchmark rates must move into restrictive territory to curb persistent inflation, favoring measured and frequent policy adjustments. Speaking in Zurich, she dissented alongside one other official at last week's FOMC meeting, which paused borrowing costs. September headline and core PCE inflation stood at 3.6% and 3.1%, well above the 2% target. She argued that price stability and central bank independence underpin the dollar's reserve status, though its share of global FX reserves has eased to about 57% from above 70% in the early 2000s. She noted that dollar-pegged stablecoins reinforce the greenback's international reach and could support Treasury bill demand, while questioning whether the GENIUS Act will meaningfully lift global dollar demand.
- This Is the Number That Could Change Nvidia Stock’s Outlook for 2027
The author cites a $350 per-share figure for 2027 as a stretch target that the math can still support. Nvidia's fiscal second-quarter revenue reached $96.22 billion, up 105.8%, with Data Center revenue up 117% to $89.02 billion. The average analyst price target of $328.95 implies about 59% upside from the $207.03 share price, and analysts expect fiscal 2028 EPS of $15.9146, roughly 71% growth from $9.3124. At $350 the stock would trade at 22x fiscal 2028 estimated earnings, close to the S&P 500's forward P/E of 21x to 23x, versus 13x today. Risks noted include gross margins expected to bottom at 71% to 72% in the fourth quarter amid rising memory costs, and $279B in supply obligations.
- SpaceX, Tesla stocks tumble as Democratic sweep raises questions on merger prospects, AI buildout
SpaceX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) shares each fell roughly 9% on Thursday after Democrats won control of the House and Senate. Investors worried about regulatory hurdles to US data center buildouts and to a possible SpaceX/Tesla merger. Yorkville's Dan Ives said a merger faces a much tougher regulatory path to be completed in 2027, and that data center growth into 2028 will moderate significantly, especially in Texas. Goldman Sachs analysts said Democratic wins at state and local levels could lead to short-term data center moratoria, potentially affecting about 45% of planned US data center capacity expansion.
- Why Sandisk Stock Keeps Going Down
Sandisk shares have shed 36% over the last six trading days and were down another 14.5% in morning trading Thursday, though still up 400% over 52 weeks. Some attribute the decline to China's CXMT, which said it received $1 billion in customer prepayments for DRAM chips through the end of September, a 15.7-fold increase from the end of 2025. The article argues CXMT focuses on DRAM while Sandisk makes NAND flash, so they are not direct competitors, though they could compete if Sandisk's high-bandwidth flash (HBF) and CXMT's DRAM used as HBM gain traction. It also notes CXMT is struggling to transition to HBM, with yield rates for its next-generation HBM3E products at only 20% to 30%.
- Why Wingstop Rallied in October
Wingstop (WING) shares rose 42.2% in October, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence, helped by third-quarter earnings that cleared a very low bar and by investor rotation out of AI-related stocks. Shares had already fallen about 56% for the year before the month began. Revenue rose 5.4% to $185.1 million, missing analyst expectations, while adjusted EPS fell by less than 1% to $1.08, slightly beating expectations. Same-store sales dropped 5.4%, and management forecast full-year same-store sales to decline between 6.5% and 7%, even as new unit growth runs at 14.4%–14.7%. The stock remains down about 30% for the year and trades around 40 times this year's earnings estimates, so the article says it looks a bit expensive after the rebound, with it unclear when traffic will return to positive territory.
