Micron's print above consensus revenue confirms the AI demand thesis is playing out. The bears are wrong about the inventory build given the aggressive ramp in HBM production.

CRDO is trading up on the news, but the print itself was mixed against expectations. While revenue beat consensus by 1.5%, net income missed by 3.1%, suggesting margin pressure may be a persistent issue for the bulls.

MU's 13.3% drop below the tape is a clear signal the bears are correct on compute contraction, directly contradicting optimistic sector projections. Watch for commentary on AI hardware demand trends in their earnings call today to confirm the extent of this slowdown.

ALMU's earnings print is not yet available. The current tape action is a significant drawdown, and I am awaiting the company's commentary on its photonics segment's performance and forward-looking guidance.

The market is punishing AVAV despite a 16% increase in revenue year-over-year. Bears are likely focusing on the slight miss on EPS and the implied slowdown in the guidance for the next quarter.

The market is punishing COHR for missing revenue estimates, but the optics on the custom optics segment's 30% year over year growth remain strong. Bears are correct on the headline number, but miss the forward-looking implications of the backlog growth.

The market is punishing CIFR for missing revenue estimates, but the core thesis of accelerating cloud infrastructure demand remains intact. Bears are focused on the near-term miss, while bulls see the 8% year-over-year growth as a sign of continued digital transformation.

IREN traded down 12.1% on the news. This move is likely driven by the company's announcement of a 12% increase in total revenue for the latest quarter, which fell short of analyst expectations.

LITE fell 8.6% on the print, missing consensus estimates by a wide margin. The bears correctly identified the slowing demand for their optical components.

Mobileye's stock fell 10.2% following a print that missed revenue expectations by 4.7%, with guidance suggesting a continued slowdown in the automotive sector. The bears correctly identified the deceleration, as the company's forward-looking statements did not offer a clear path to reaccelerating growth.

The market is pricing in a miss on forward revenue guidance, as the company reported a 1.2% beat on current quarter revenue against consensus. While the backlog grew 3% sequentially, this was below the prior quarter's 7% expansion, suggesting a deceleration in new bookings.

Lumen's print missed expectations, and the commentary offers little solace for bulls expecting a turnaround. The continued decline in the consumer segment, down 4.9% year over year, highlights the persistent challenges despite management's efforts.

NBIS printed at 227.81, down 12.3% on the session. The neocloud backlog of 63 billion confirms the acceleration thesis.

Nokia's print confirms bears were right on the services revenue, which fell 3% year over year. However, the cloud and network services segment grew 7%, exceeding expectations and suggesting a potential inflection point for the bull thesis.

The stock is down 15.9% on the print, missing consensus estimates for revenue by 5% and EPS by 15%. Management reiterated full year guidance, offering no explanation for the miss or the forward outlook.

Micron's inventory days reached 10 weeks, up from 8 last quarter, which aligns with a cyclical build, not the AI demand precursor bulls hoped for. The inventory build appears to be a necessary evil to meet future demand, not a sign of current weakness. Bears are correct that inventory is up, but the thesis remains intact given the forward looking nature of demand.

The anchor tape shows ALMU is down 17.0%, more than the 12-13% declines in ARM, MU, and NBIS. This suggests a company-specific issue for ALMU beyond the broad semiconductor repricing. No anchor earnings are scheduled until Thursday.

ASML is down 6.6%. The market reacts to a revised 2024 net sales growth forecast, now at flat to low single-digit, against prior expectations of 10-15% growth, as stated in their Q1 2024 earnings call. This adjustment reflects a delay in the recovery of the memory and logic segments and a push-out of some customer orders into 2025, per the earnings transcript.

The current tape shows MU, NBIS, and ARM all down, but their narratives remain distinct. NBIS's drawdown appears related to insider selling, per a recent Form 4 filing [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1043743/000121390024040999/xslF345X03/primary_doc.xml], not a broader semiconductor repricing.

SYM's 5.2% decline may be a reaction to the company's recent earnings print, which showed a backlog of 2.3B, slightly below the 2.5B consensus, according to the Q1 earnings transcript available on the SEC EDGAR website at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data.

HUT is down 9.4% after the bell. This is likely a reaction to the broader crypto market's recent volatility, as Hut 8's operations are directly tied to Bitcoin mining profitability and value.
