Market Sentiment Analysis
Equity futures hint at a positive open after closing Friday’s session in the green, a high-volume quadruple witching day, and the final full week of trading for 2025. Equity markets are approximately 3% below all-time highs, and investors hope for a Santa Claus rally in a low-volume trading week. Tomorrow’s consumer confidence reading could provide a volatility boost, as it could deliver more evidence of a K-shaped economic trajectory. Overall, it should be a quiet week, where existing trends and worries remain front and center.

So, why am I bullish on MU following its earnings report?
Micron Technology reported $13.64 billion in revenue and earnings per share of $4.78, easily eclipsing expectations of $12.84 billion and $3.95, respectively. I remain bullish on MU, as its forecasts call for adjusted second-quarter earnings per share of $8.42, which would blow past analysts’ expectations of $4.78, while valuations are among the lowest in the AI sector. Supply constraints amid surging demand provide a tailwind, and profit margins are expanding.
