On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Micron (MU) the largest US maker of computer memory chips, gave an upbeat forecast for the current quarter, a sign that surging demand and supply shortages are allowing the company to charge more for products. Fiscal second-quarter revenue will be $18.3 billion to $19.1 billion, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Analysts had estimated $14.4 billion on average for the period. Excluding some items, profit will be $8.22 to $8.62 a share, compared with a projection of $4.71. Micron shares rose about 4% in late trading after the results were released. The stock was already up 168% this year, closing at $225.71 on Wednesday.
- Medline (MDLN) shares surged 41% in their trading debut, after the medical supplier raised $6.26 billion in the year’s biggest initial public offering. The shares closed at $41 each on Wednesday in New York, versus the IPO price of $29. Medline, which counts Blackstone Inc., Carlyle Group Inc. and Hellman & Friedman among its backers, sold 216 million shares in an upsized offering that priced near the top of the marketed range. The trading gives the company a market value of about $55 billion, based on the shares listed in its regulatory filings.
- Nvidia (NVDA) settled a lawsuit involving a former engineer who had inadvertently revealed autonomous driving trade secrets that he stole from a previous employer. The accord between the Silicon Valley artificial intelligence giant and a German unit of Paris-based Valeo SE was disclosed in a filing in federal court in San Jose, California. No details of the agreement were provided. A trial set for next month was canceled. Nvidia shares were lower in trading on Wednesday.
