Foxconn Q2 2026 Revenue Hits $78.71B, Up 39.8% YoY — AI Server Division Nears Half of Total Sales as NVDA Supply Chain Signals Demand Holds

Foxconn posted Q2 2026 revenue of $78.71 billion, up 39.8% year-over-year and beating Reuters/LSEG estimates of $72.7 billion, as its cloud and networking division — which houses AI server production for Nvidia — approaches half of total company sales. June alone surged 52.1% year-over-year to a monthly record. Management guided for Q3 growth both sequentially and annually. The print directly lifts Nvidia sentiment and provides a key third-party validation of sustained AI infrastructure spending ahead of earnings season.

Anthropic Explores Samsung 2nm Foundry Deal for Custom AI Chip — Samsung Foundry Backlog Targets 50 Trillion Won

Anthropic is in early-stage talks with Samsung Electronics to manufacture a custom AI chip using Samsung Foundry's 2-nanometer process and advanced packaging technology, according to The Information. The deal would add Anthropic to Samsung Foundry's growing AI client list alongside Tesla, Meta, and Nvidia. The development pressures Nvidia's dominant position in AI inference and signals a broader industry shift toward proprietary ASIC alternatives, echoing OpenAI's recent Broadcom 'Jalapeño' inference chip announcement.

Meta Platforms Rises 8.8% on Meta Compute Cloud Launch — $145B AI Capex Strategy Reframed as Revenue Asset

Meta Platforms jumped 8.8% after Bloomberg reported the company plans to launch Meta Compute, a cloud business selling excess AI computing capacity and model access externally to compete with AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The move reframes Meta's $125 billion to $145 billion 2026 capital expenditure plan from a spending concern to a potential revenue engine. CEO Mark Zuckerberg's pivot offered the single biggest counterweight to Wednesday's broad semiconductor and tech selloff.

Nasdaq-100 Adds CoreWeave, Astera Labs, Rocket Lab in First Rank-Based Rebalance — Drops Zscaler, Cognizant, Charter

The Nasdaq-100 added Astera Labs, CoreWeave, Nebius Group, Rocket Lab, and Teradyne while removing Charter Communications, Cognizant, Insmed, Verisk Analytics, and Zscaler, effective at today's open. It marks the first rebalance under Nasdaq's new rank-based quarterly methodology adopted in May 2026, tilting the index further toward AI infrastructure. The S&P 500 made a separate two-stock swap the same day, triggering forced buying and selling from index funds tracking roughly $800 billion in assets.

Micron Technology Q3 2026 Revenue Expected Up Nearly 270% — AI Memory Demand Becomes Key Test for Semiconductor Rally

Micron Technology is expected to report fiscal Q3 2026 revenue of roughly $34.5 billion, representing nearly 270% year-over-year growth driven by AI memory demand. Investors are closely watching high-bandwidth memory pricing, data center spending trends, and management guidance after a sharp semiconductor selloff erased more than $1 trillion from Nasdaq 100 market value. The earnings report is widely viewed as the most important near-term catalyst for the AI infrastructure trade and broader semiconductor sector sentiment.

SpaceX (SPCX) Sheds $600B in 3 Sessions, Down 20% From Peak — $20B Bond Debut Reveals Pre-Committed IPO Proceeds

SpaceX stock has fallen more than 20% from its post-IPO peak of $225, shedding over $600 billion in market value across three sessions, after the company priced a $20 billion investment-grade bond offering — revealing that the bulk of its $85.7 billion IPO proceeds were already committed to retiring a pre-existing bridge loan. A $6.3 billion compute deal with Reflection AI failed to offset investor concern over leverage at a company still posting net losses.

Micron Earnings Due June 24 2026 — AI Memory Demand Faces Critical Test for Semiconductor Rally

Micron's June 24 earnings report has become the most important near-term test for the artificial intelligence trade. Investors are watching whether AI server demand, high-bandwidth memory pricing, and hyperscaler spending remain strong enough to justify elevated semiconductor valuations. Strong results could reinforce confidence across AI infrastructure stocks, while weaker guidance may trigger profit-taking throughout the semiconductor sector after months of outsized gains driven by data center investment.

Micron Earnings Due June 24 — AI Rally Faces Key $1 Trillion Memory Market Test

Micron has become the market's most closely watched AI infrastructure stock ahead of its June 24 earnings report. Investors are treating the results as a critical test of whether hyperscaler spending, AI server demand, and memory pricing remain strong enough to support elevated semiconductor valuations. Positive guidance could reinforce confidence across the AI supply chain, while any slowdown in demand expectations would likely ripple through chipmakers, cloud providers, and data-center infrastructure companies.

Meta Platforms Tries to Rebound After 5.4% Slide to $567.58 — AI-for-Work Product Lead Exit Still Weighs

Meta Platforms shares attempted a premarket rebound Thursday after tumbling 5.4% to $567.58 on Wednesday, a drop that erased roughly $83 billion in market value. The slide followed Reuters reporting that Emily Dalton Smith, the executive leading Meta's AI-for-Work product effort, is departing the company just two months after being named to the role. Investors are weighing the departure against Meta's already-elevated 2026 capital expenditure forecast of $125 billion to $145 billion.
