Nasdaq Futures Climb as Micron’s Upbeat Forecast Boosts Chipmakers

December Nasdaq 100 E-Mini futures (NQZ26) are up +0.51% this morning as strong quarterly results and guidance from Micron Technology boosted chipmakers and other AI-related stocks.

Memory-chip maker Micron Technology (MU) reported stronger-than-expected FQ4 results and issued upbeat FQ1 guidance after the closing bell on Wednesday.

Sandisk (SNDK), Intel (INTC), and Marvell Technology (MRVL) all gained over +1%, though Micron shares edged down -0.2%.
