NVIDIA Corp&#8217;s earnings report Wednesday evening could have a significant impact on Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), a leading memory chipmaker heavily reliant on AI-driven demand for its DRAM and NAND products.
Nvidia's dominance in the AI market has positioned it as a key driver of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42068962/nvidia-q3-earnings-preview-analysts-expect-beat-n-raise-on-continued-data-center-strength">high-performance computing</a>, where Micron's advanced memory solutions are indispensable. Nvidia's results and guidance will likely offer critical signals for Micron's growth trajectory.
What To Know: Micron benefits directly from Nvidia's surging AI-related sales, as memory chips are essential for training and running the large-scale models that underpin generative AI technologies. 
A strong Nvidia report, with robust demand for AI GPUs, could indicate continued tailwinds for Micron, reinforcing expectations of higher shipments and pricing for its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and next-generation DRAM.

Conversely, if Nvidia's earnings or outlook disappoints, it could signal slowing AI infrastructure investments, dampening demand for Micron's premium products. Investors may then <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42048963/why-nvidia-earnings-may-trigger-massive-sp-500-volatility">question the sustainability</a> of the AI-driven recovery Micron has counted on to rebound from a cyclical downturn in memory markets.
For Micron, Nvidia's earnings extend beyond an industry indicator; they serve as a vital barometer for gauging the trajectory of AI-related memory demand and the company's ability to ride the sector's growth wave.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MU Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Micron Technology &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, or Amazon.com, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so. 
In the the case of Micron Technology, which is trading at $98.16 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 1.02 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MU has a 52-week high of $157.54 and a 52-week low of $72.93.

The semiconductor stocks also got a hit from Edgewater Research analysts, flagging Monolithic Power Systems (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), which faced a significant setback and sent its stock plunging on Monday.
The analysts noted Monolithic&#8217;s allocation to Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell GPUs is in jeopardy due to performance problems with its Power Management ICs.
The analysts highlighted that Japanese company Renesas and German firm Infineon have stepped in, receiving rush orders, potentially replacing Monolithic in Nvidia&#8217;s B200 and GB200 SKUs.
Edgewater expressed concern that supply chain partners perceived Monolithic&#8217;s temporary solution as a stopgap measure rather than a complete fix.

Why Are Chip Stocks Trading Lower On Monday?

Trading can be complicated and confusing for new traders. They have difficulty deciding where to place their buy and sell orders. Sometimes they just guess. This is a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retail-traders">good way to lose money</a>.
Experienced traders let the market tell them what to do. They know that when a stock reaches a price level that had previously been resistance or support, it can become so again and there is a good chance the trend changes. This can be seen on the chart of Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>). This is why it is our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
As you can see, when Micron reached the $113.20 level it hit resistance and reversed. This wasn't a coincidence. In the stock market, there tends to be resistance at price levels that had been resistance previously.
There are traders and investors who bought shares around $113.20 in September and October that came to regret doing so when the price dropped soon after. A number of them decided they made a mistake and vowed to sell if they can without losing money.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="527" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11111047/1-9-1024x527.png" alt="" class="wp-image-640839" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11111047/1-9-1024x527.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11111047/1-9-300x154.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11111047/1-9-768x395.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11111047/1-9-1536x790.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/11111047/1-9.png 1587w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

As a result, when the price eventually returned to levels around $113.20, they placed sell orders.
This would allow them to exit their positions at breakeven. This large concentration of these sell orders created resistance at the same price that had been resistance before.
You can also see on the chart how the $99.55 level was support for Micron at the end of October. This isn't a coincidence, either. There tends to be support at levels that had been so before.
This happens because some of the traders and investors who sold shares around $99.55 at the beginning of October thought they made a mistake when the price moved higher soon after.
Some of them decided to buy their shares back if they can get them for the same price they were sold at. So, when the stock dropped back to levels around $99.55, they placed buy orders. This large concentration of buy orders created support at the same price that had been support before.
Guessing is a great way to lose money. Savvy traders let the market tell them what to do. They know that when a stock reaches levels that had been resistance or support previously, there is a good chance the trend reverses.

Okta will release its financial results for its third quarter fiscal year 2025 ended Oct. 31, after the closing bell on Tuesday, Dec. 3.
The &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host recommended buying Houston-based Talen Energy Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLN#NASDAQ">TLN</a>), saying &#8220;They're in good shape.&#8221;
Talen Energy recently announced it is evaluating options after FERC rejected the amended Susquehanna Interconnection Service Agreement to increase co-located load capacity at the Susquehanna nuclear power generation facility from 300 megawatts to 480 megawatts.
Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) goes &#8220;much higher,&#8221; Cramer said.
On Oct. 30, Micron announced that Robert (Bob) Switz, its current Board Chair, will retire at the annual shareholders meeting on Jan. 16, 2025.
&#8220;I think this is a real short squeeze,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about Lemonade, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMND#NYSE">LMND</a>). &#8220;Let's wait 'til Friday and then maybe take some profits.&#8221;
On Oct. 30, Lemonade reported third-quarter earnings and sales above estimates and raised its FY24 guidance.
