Micron and Sandisk Drop; SpaceX Rating; Crinetics Soars

Today's biggest winners and losers in the stock market.On this episode of Stock Movers:- Micron (MU) and Sandisk (SNDK) are both lower off of Samsung news. Samsung's quarterly profit surged, prompting investors to cash out of a near-150% rally this year that had baked in the AI-fueled growth. Revenue more than doubled to 171 trillion won, and analysts expect memory shortages to last through 2027 at least, giving Samsung and rivals enormous pricing power. But the company’s shares slid more than 10% in Seoul, leading a plunge in the benchmark Kospi that triggered a brief circuit-breaker suspension, despite posting preliminary operating income of 89.4 trillion won for June quarter.t- SpaceX (SPCX) is lower even though at least six brokers, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, have started coverage of SpaceX with buy-equivalent ratings. SpaceX’s addition to the Nasdaq 100 should provide considerable support to the stock, considering the number of funds that track the tech-heavy benchmark.- Fiserv (FISV) is climbing as the Wall Street Journal reports big banks including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and PNC Financial Services Group have held preliminary discussions about a deal to acquire a network owned by the financial-technology company Fiserv.- Crinetics Pharmaceuticals (CRNC) is soaring after Vertex Pharmaceuticals agreed to buy Crinetics for $10 billion in cash to expand into endocrinology.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
