Chip stocks are on the rise Wednesday as the market reacts to the latest earnings report from Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU).

While Micron failed to meet expectations in the current quarter, the chip company’s outlook for the fiscal third quarter of 2023 has investors hopeful that a recent slump in the market is about to end.

That outlook includes adjusted earnings per share of -$1.58, plus or minus 7 cents. Micron also has revenue guidance of $3.7 billion, plus or minus $200 million. While earnings are still lagging behind Wall Street’s estimate of -90 cents per share, the revenue guidance matches what analysts are expecting.

To go along with this, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said the following in the earnings report:

“Customer inventories are getting better, and we expect gradual improvements to the industry’s supply-demand balance. We remain confident in long-term demand and are investing prudently to preserve our technology and product portfolio competitiveness.”
