Micron Technology is today's headline print. The memory chip giant reports Q4 2026 results after the close, carrying a $1.19 trillion market cap. Taiwan's August export orders hit a record $103bn, nearly double a year ago, the largest for that month since data began in 1984. That reading sharpens the demand backdrop heading into Micron's numbers. NIKE follows on Wednesday with its Q1 2027 results. Jabil and Conagra Brands have already reported this morning.
NVIDIA board member Mark Stevens filed disclosures showing he sold nearly 1.85 million shares, raising $411m. General Counsel Timothy Teter filed the same day, disclosing a further $6.5m in sales. Neither filing confirmed a pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan. That absence makes the cluster of disposals more notable. Despite the insider exits, ORTEX options data still shows positive sentiment on the stock, which is up 23% year to date with a $5.4 trillion market cap.

Polish online fashion retailer Modivo heads into its earnings print tomorrow with borrow markets near exhausted. That combination of a pending catalyst and tight borrow puts it firmly in focus.
