Micron Shares Fly, SMCI Falls on Alleged Probe | Moovin Stonks
Good morning, traders. Happy Thursday, September 26th, rain was falling on Wall Street, but the market was climbing overall: the S&P 500 opened at a new trading high, but breaking news this morning was stirring things up.
My name is Kevin Travers; here stonks and stories mooving the U.S. stock market today.
$Micron Technology (MU.US)$ shares flew 17% after the firm reported Q4 earnings Wednesday night that came in mixed, but projected 2025 Q1 revenue above the range estimated by analysts. The firm reported adjusted EPS of $1.18 vs estimates of $1.12. For the next quarter in its fiscal 2025, the firm expects revenue of $8.5B-$8.9B vs estimates of $8.3B. It was the highest on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100.
$Southwest Airlines (LUV.US)$ climbed 9% after the firm raised its Q3 revenue forecast and predicted next year's overall earnings would come in higher. The firm pledged it would begin charging for seat assignments in 2026.
$Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US)$ fell 13% after a WSJ exclusive that it faces a Justice Department probe. The firm faced accounting and reporting issues this quarter after a short report, and the WSJ said the firm faces an investigation concerning the same issues. The stock hit a circuit breaker as it fell.
$Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.US)$ jumped 4% after a Bloomberg exclusive report that the firm has reached a new checkpoint in its seven-year attempt to raise its Federal Reserve asset cap. Currently, the bank is capped at $1.7T, a level set in 2017, set by Janet Yellen to attempt to force the bank to address compliance and consumer complaints.
Within industries, $Singles' Day Sales (LIST2998.US)$, a list created by moomo that tracks companies that sell during the 'Singles Day' November 11th sale event in China, shot up 4%.   $PDD Holdings (PDD.US)$ climbed 8%, growing alongside $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ climbing 8%, and $JD.com (JD.US)$ led the pack up a whopping 12%. The stocks jumped after Alibaba said it would pour $5.7B into its holiday sale plans. The stocks followed climbs earlier this week after the Chinese Central Bank lowered reserve requirements, a type of economic stimulus.

Just past 11:16 am ET the     $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ traded +26 bps, the       $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ climbed 44 bps, and the     $Nasdaq Composite Index (.IXIC.US)$ climbed 34.
In Macro, investors sorted through Q2 GDP updates, showing the economy grew at a rate of 3% in Q2. Initial jobless claims came in at 218k, in line with estimates.
Investors also heard from Fed Speakers Bowman and Powell, but neither spoke directly about rates or policy.
