Micron beats earnings with huge data center growth amid AI boom; Fed signals inflation still high.

Micron Technology reported a strong fiscal Q4 with an 11-fold increase in data center revenue, beating Wall Street expectations and offering positive guidance despite a slight premarket dip. This performance is driven by the AI boom's demand for memory chips, contributing to Micron's 500% rally over the past year. Meanwhile, Federal Reserve officials, including Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, indicated inflation remains elevated around 3%, suggesting cautious monetary policy ahead. Additionally, Alphabet launched its advanced AI model Gemini 4 Argon, and Eli Lilly announced promising obesity drug trial results, highlighting ongoing innovation in tech and healthcare sectors.

Micron Technology's stock price at USD 1,055.11 is nearing its 52-week high of $1.21K, despite a slight 0.94% dip on Pluang as of Oct 01, 2026 19:51 WIB. In contrast, Alphabet's shares trade at USD 349.40, well below its 52-week high of $402.62, but showing a positive 1.55% gain on the same day. This difference highlights Micron's strong rally over the past year compared to Alphabet's more moderate recent gains, with Pluang users holding Micron for an average of 47 days versus 84 days for Alphabet.
