10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) unveiled an overhaul of its organizational structure aimed at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/g44862933/micron-announces-business-unit-reorganization-to-capitalize-on-ai-growth-across-all-market-segment">strengthening its position in the fast-evolving </a>artificial intelligence market. 
The company is realigning its operations into four new business units, each tailored to meet growing demand for advanced memory and storage solutions across various sectors.
The four units are Cloud Memory Business Unit (CMBU), Core Data Center Business Unit (CDBU), Mobile and Client Business Unit (MCBU), and Automotive and Embedded Business Unit (AEBU). 
Each unit will be headed by current executives and target specific markets where AI-driven memory and storage demand is surging.
&#8220;This reorganization completes our evolution to a market segment-focused business unit structure, with exciting AI-led growth opportunities in every business unit,&#8221; said EVP and Chief Business Officer, Sumit Sadana.

&#8220;This structure sharpens our ability to partner deeply with customers and build on our tremendous portfolio momentum with differentiated solutions for all end markets.&#8221;
Raj Narasimhan will lead CMBU, catering to hyperscale cloud and high-bandwidth memory needs. Jeremy Werner will head CDBU, serving original equipment manufacturers and data center clients. 
Mark Montierth will oversee MCBU, which focuses on mobile and personal computing devices. Kris Baxter takes charge of AEBU, targeting automotive, industrial and consumer applications. 
All four units will report to Sumit Sadana, executive vice president and chief business officer. The new business structure will take full effect at the start of the company's fiscal fourth quarter, beginning May 30, 2025.
The decision follows an announcement made Monday by President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;and his administration stating that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44799415/whats-going-on-with-micron-technology-stock-monday">electronic products will not be subject </a>to the 145% retaliatory tariffs imposed on imports from China.
&nbsp;BofA Securities&nbsp;analysts Vivek Arya and Duksan Jang said even if a dire tariff impact happens, Micron <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44852860/nvidia-lam-research-and-marvell-to-face-least-impact-from-tariffs-while-intel-and-arm-could-suffer-more-bofa-analyst">has a 30%+ potential upside</a> to historical P/E or PEG multiple at current stock price.
However, yesterday Nvidia said that the U.S. government will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44841356/chip-stocks-are-facing-selling-pressure-wednesday-heres-why">start requiring a license</a> to&nbsp;export chips to China.
Micron will report financial results under the new business structure starting with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Price Action: MU shares traded lower by 0.50% at $69.03 at last check Thursday.

Micron Technology To Complete Business Reorganization By Early Fiscal Q4 2025; To Form 4 New Business Units; Raj Narasimhan To Lead Cloud Memory Business Unit; Jeremy Werner To Lead Core Data Center Business Unit

The first-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors" rel="noreferrer noopener">semiconductor earnings parade</a> kicks off with ASML Holding (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44832382/nvidia-supplier-asml-beats-revenue-and-eps-estimates-euv-product-mix-performance-milestones-drive-q1-says-ceo" rel="noreferrer noopener">on Wednesday</a> and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) on Thursday, followed by the U.S. semi and semicap peers in the following week.
For U.S. chip vendors, BofA Securities analysts Vivek Arya and Duksan Jang expect first-quarter results to beat as their original outlook was likely conservative and tariff-related pull-ins created a better demand environment.
However, the second-quarter outlook could be in line as companies could widen the guidance range.

Regarding tariff impact, Arya and Jang expect U.S. chip companies to follow the example of early reporting companies Taiwan Semiconductor, ASML, Texas Instruments Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>), and Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>).
The analysts generically express concern on second-half demand headwinds and quantified gross margin headwinds from inflationary supply chain movements (such as Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)) and higher U.S. sourcing.
Overall, semi-industry overhangs could persist pending clarity on new sectoral tariff rates (next several weeks), China retaliation, U.S. reciprocal tariffs, and AI diffusion rules (May 15).
On the positive side, despite some downside to estimates, valuation has become more compelling for high-quality areas in cloud/AI (Nvidia, Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)), design software (Cadence Design Systems, Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cdns#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), Synopsys, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>)) and semicap (Lam Research, KLA Corp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/klac#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>)).
The analysts laid down two potential scenarios, which are modest tariff impact and dire tariff impact. Their modest scenario aligns with limited China and reciprocal tariffs, while the dire scenario implies the implementation of specific sectoral tariffs on semis/electronics (tariff rates not yet announced).
In a modest scenario, tariffs could drive roughly ~4% hit to calendar 2025 sales and ~6% hit to calendar 2026 versus current consensus, with EPS declines mostly ranging between 5%-25% (12%-13% average) inclusive of 150bps gross margin hit.
In a dire scenario, estimates could be further pushed down, with a 9% and 12% sales decline in calendar 2025 and 2026 and EPS declines mostly ranging between 15%-50% (25%-30% average) inclusive of a 500bps gross margin hit.
For revenue impact, the analysts noted companies with AI/cloud/industrial exposures to fare better in a potential tariff-induced demand downturn.
At the same time, those with consumer/auto are at greater risk. Nvidia, Lam Research, Cadence Design Systems, Synopsys, and Applied Materials, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>) are among the companies with the least potential sales impact (at -1% to -6% sales impact), while Arm Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>), ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) could fare worse (at -7% to -9% impact).
Importantly, even under the above distressed EPS scenario (dire tariffs), Nvidia, Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Synopsys, and Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) have a 30%+ potential upside to historical P/E or PEG multiple at current stock price.
In a modest tariff scenario, the EPS hits of 12%-13% (2-2.5 times sales) are well below the 30%-40% reductions the analysts have seen in prior market downturns. However, the primary concern is PE multiple compression due to enhanced market risks.
The SOX index is currently trading at ~18 times forward PE, below the broader SPX at ~20 times, though above the 12-14 times PE at prior semi-industry downturns. Notably, the SOX index has more than given up the ~20% PE premium it gained during AI-fueled stock gains in calendar 2023 and 2024.

These Semiconductor Stocks To Face Least Tariffs Impact Compared To Intel

Shares of Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) tumbled more than 6% on Wednesday morning trading in New York after fresh U.S. export curbs on AI chips to China rattled the market, yet some Wall Street analysts see the pullback as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">a rare buying opportunity.</a>
In a note shared Wednesday, Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya said the latest H20 chip restrictions to China, while unwelcome, were largely anticipated and pose only a "manageable risk" to Nvidia's sales outlook.
The investment bank reiterated a bullish stance on Nvidia, maintaining a Buy rating and a $160 price target, which implies a 42.6% upside from Tuesday's $112.20 close.
Despite a looming $5.5 billion charge and tighter U.S. export rules, Arya believes the company's deep AI moat and new product cycle could more than offset short-term pain.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is Nvidia Taking A $5.5 Billion Hit?</h3>
Nvidia disclosed after the close on Tuesday that it will record a $5.5 billion first-quarter charge related to inventory, purchase commitments and reserves following a new U.S. government requirement. 
The policy mandates a license to ship H20 and equivalent AI chips to China and arms-embargoed countries.
The H20 chip, a specialized version of Nvidia's powerful AI hardware tailored to bypass earlier export rules, had emerged as a critical part of its China sales strategy. Yet, with the Trump administration tightening loopholes, those sales are in jeopardy.
Arya said the charge likely reflects "a high probability of H20 restriction" and a "low probability of future licenses," suggesting Nvidia has priced in the worst-case scenario.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How Much Could Nvidia Lose?</h3>
Bank of America estimates the H20 ban could lead to a manageable 5%-8% drop in sales and a 6%-10% hit to pro-forma earnings per share in fiscal year 2026 (calendar 2025). 
That's based on assumptions that H20 sales make up about 6%-10% of Nvidia's China revenue, which itself accounts for roughly 14% of total company sales.
Nvidia hasn't disclosed exact figures for H20, but Arya's model projects around $12 billion in sales from the chip for fiscal 2026—well above the $8 billion consensus from data platform Visible Alpha.
While the revenue loss is significant, Arya flagged positive offsets, including accelerating U.S. AI chip demand and strong pricing for Nvidia's next-generation GB300 Blackwell Ultra chips, which are expected to launch in the second half of 2025.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is The Stock Undervalued?</h3>
Despite mounting geopolitical risks, Nvidia shares have already begun to price in much of the damage. According to Arya, the stock now trades at around 20 times expected 2025 earnings, down from its historical trough of 23-25 times.
He said that implies investors are now forecasting earnings of about $4 per share, well below the consensus estimate of $4.50 to $5. Arya argues this disconnect offers a compelling entry point, especially as AI chip demand from firms like OpenAI, Google, and Amazon remains robust.
"The global demand for leading-edge AI and Nvidia's unmatched platform leadership can continue to offset regional headwinds," Arya said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What About Other Chipmakers?</h3>
The new rules won't just hit Nvidia. Arya said the increased AI export restrictions are likely to weigh on other semiconductor stocks with AI exposure, including Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Arm Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>), Coherent Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NASDAQ">COHR</a>) and Lumentum Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LITE#NASDAQ">LITE</a>).
Washington may continue ratcheting up restrictions beyond China, and further controls could extend to semiconductor manufacturing equipment and design software, areas where the U.S. holds significant leverage.
Yet, despite the U.S.-China tech decoupling may be accelerating, Arya indicates the longer-term AI trend remains intact. 
"We believe AI remains the fastest growing secular growth opportunity in semis," he said, adding that recent volatility in Nvidia stock offers an &#8220;enhanced buying opportunity&#8221; rather than a reason to panic.

Nvidia H20 Chip Ban Could Lead To 'Manageable' Sales Drop, Bank Of America Says

Chip stocks are sliding Wednesday after NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) announced that the U.S. government will start requiring a license to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44828742/nvidia-stock-is-tumbling-after-hours-heres-why">export chips to China</a>. 
What Happened: In a regulatory filing late Tuesday, Nvidia said the U.S. government contacted the company on April 9, informing the chipmaker that it will need a license to sell H20 chips to China.
The filing also states that a license will be required for any other circuits achieving the H20&#8217;s memory bandwidth, interconnect bandwidth, or a combination thereof.
Nvidia shares tumbled on the news, dragging down several other chip stocks with it. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) was down about 3.75% at the time of writing Wednesday morning, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Here&#8217;s a look at some of the semiconductor names moving lower on Wednesday:
<ul>
<li>Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>QUALCOMM Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>)</li>
</ul>
The license requirement will be in effect for the indefinite future in an effort to address risks associated with the potential for China to use the products for a supercomputer. 
As a result of the restrictions, Nvidia said it expects its first-quarter financial results to include up to $5.5 billion of charges associated with H20 products held in inventory. 
AMD also said in a filing Wednesday morning that the new export controls on chips could result in charges of up to approximately $800 million related to inventory and purchase commitments. 
ASML, the largest supplier of chipmaking equipment, reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44833646/from-parts-to-profits-tariffs-have-a-4x-hit-on-asmls-bottom-line-says-cfo">first-quarter results</a> before the market open on Wednesday. The company warned that tariffs have increased uncertainty surrounding the company&#8217;s outlook, which may be adding to the weakness across the board. 
&#8220;Our conversations so far with customers support our expectation that 2025 and 2026 will be growth years. However, the recent tariff announcements have increased uncertainty in the macro environment and the situation will remain dynamic for a while,&#8221; ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet said.
BofA Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">cut price targets</a> on several semiconductor names Wednesday morning due to potential impacts of tariffs. 
The new chip license requirement is the latest in an intensifying <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44806095/as-xi-jinping-urges-vietnam-to-stand-against-unilateral-bullying-trump-labels-the-meeting-a-plan-to-screw-the-united-states-of-america" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trade war with China</a>. The Trump administration paused reciprocal tariffs for most countries last week, but ramped up tariffs on China. China responded with 125% retaliatory tariffs on American goods over the weekend.

Shares of chip stocks are trading lower after NVIDIA said it was recently informed by the US government that it will need a license to export chips to China. Additionally, warned that tariffs have increased uncertainty surrounding the company's outlook, which may be adding to the weakness across the board.

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) shares are moving higher on Monday after President Donald Trump and his administration announced that electronics are exempt from the 145% reciprocal tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44787080/goldman-sachs-cheers-china-tariff-exemptions-lifts-earnings-forecasts-for-apple-dell-hp">on Chinese goods.</a>
What To Know: According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/14/business/tech-stocks-jump-after-trump-pauses-tariffs-on-electronics/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">New York Post</a>, electronics include items like smartphones and laptops along with semiconductors. The announcement boosted Micron and other American tech stocks as it eases investor concerns about potential cost increases and slowing demand.
Companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Dell Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) are also moving higher following the news. 
American tech firms often rely on components sourced from China, which could have become significantly more expensive under the proposed tariffs. Higher production costs could have led to price hikes for consumers, potentially reducing demand for electronics overall. 
Micron's business relies on steady demand for devices that use its chips, so avoiding tariffs that could weaken consumer spending is largely seen as a positive for the company.
The tariff relief for electronics may be short-lived. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday the Trump administration is planning new tariffs targeting semiconductors and other tech parts. 
Trump emphasized in a social media post that "NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook' on tariffs," adding that even if certain products are exempt under one policy, "they'll be covered under another."

What's Going On With Micron Technology Stock Monday?

A temporary delay in new U.S. tariffs on tech imports from China sparked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">a broad semiconductor rally</a>.
What Happened: The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) jumped 2.5% by 9:40 a.m. ET Monday, extending its rally to 19% from last week's lows.
Monday&#8217;s top individual gainers within the SOXX ETF included:
<ul>
<li>Entegris Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENTG#NASDAQ">ENTG</a>) surged 6.7% to $74.37</li>
<li>Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) rose 6.1% to $20.95</li>
<li>Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) gained 5.8% to $73.56</li>
<li>Qorvo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QRVO#NASDAQ">QRVO</a>) added 5.1% to $59.16</li>
<li>MKS Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKSI#NASDAQ">MKSI</a>) climbed 4.2% to $68.25</li>
<li>Universal Display Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OLED#NASDAQ">OLED</a>) rose 3.8% to $117.02</li>
<li>Texas Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>) advanced 3.7% to $153.01</li>
</ul>
In a research note published on Monday, Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya called the one-to-two-month delay on electronics tariffs &#8220;incrementally positive.&#8221; The delay, which allows industry debate before the White House finalizes so-called &#8220;sectoral&#8221; tariffs targeting semiconductors, was enough to trigger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chipmakers">sharp gains in chip stocks</a>.
Sentiment also improved following the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's decision Friday to exclude several electronic categories—such as smartphones and PCs—from immediate reciprocal tariffs.
"The delay is a net positive," Arya said, citing how electronics represent roughly 50% of global chip demand. 
"It allows for debate and discussion on this critical end-market,&#8221; he added. 
Arya noted that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), the world's largest semiconductor buyer, was also excluded from tariff pressure during Trump&#8217;s first term.
Arya reaffirmed a bullish stance on chipmakers with exposure to artificial intelligence and reshoring themes, including Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).
Cadence Design Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) and Synopsys Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNPS#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>) remain his key preferences among chip-design software firms.
For semiconductor capital equipment—a group seen as direct beneficiaries of U.S. manufacturing—Arya highlighted Lam Research Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) and KLA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>).
The analyst also noted a potential tailwind from increased domestic production efforts. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)&#8217;s $195 billion U.S. investments, Apple's $500 billion pledge and Nvidia's $200 billion U.S. expansion could all influence the shaping of final tariff rules.
"We expect over time for TSMC to front-end process most—if not all—semis required by its U.S. fabless customers within its Arizona fabs," Arya said, adding that a potential Intel-TSMC joint venture could further boost domestic chip output.

Why It Matters: Despite Monday's rally, Arya maintained a cautious view on chipmakers heavily exposed to consumer-facing segments like smartphones and PCs. 
After all, President Donald Trump clarified Sunday that electronics aren&#8217;t fully exempt. They will instead be folded into a separate sector-focused tariff plan to be announced in the coming months. 
Therefore, it&#8217;s unclear how sectoral tariffs will apply to U.S. electronics assembled in China using foreign-made chips.
"Semis remain a high beta sector and exposed to volatility," Arya said. However, he expects companies tied to AI and infrastructure to remain well-positioned to deliver on earnings expectations.
One risk Arya flagged is the upcoming May 15 compliance deadline for new U.S. rules governing the export of AI chips, which could limit shipments outside a small group of 19 &#8220;Tier 1&#8221; nations.
Still, with the delay in electronics tariffs offering space for negotiation, investors appear to be betting that the worst-case trade scenarios for U.S. chipmakers could be avoided, at least for now.

Why Are Semiconductor Stocks Trading Higher On Monday?

LOGI

PSTG

SMCI

Shares of semiconductor, electronics and hardware stocks are trading higher after the Trump administration excluded a range of technology products, including consumer electronics from the 145% reciprocal tariffs bucket.

Benzinga examined the prospects for<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
President Donald Trump's hold on global tariffs but imposition of a 145% levy on Chinese imports led to significant market volatility and eroding confidence in the dollar and Treasuries this week. The 30-year Treasury yield briefly reached 5%, indicating the return of bond vigilantes — investors selling bonds in reaction to policy decisions.
Despite the turmoil, certain stocks have outperformed. For instance, Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) have shown resilience amid the market's fluctuations, demonstrating robust fundamentals and strategic positioning that appeal to investors even during uncertain times.
Overall, while the broader market faces challenges from escalating trade tensions and policy uncertainties, select companies continue to thrive, highlighting the importance of strategic agility and strong fundamentals in navigating volatile economic landscapes.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.
