Micron reported a staggering 379% YoY revenue surge to $54.23B, driven by 11x growth in data center revenue, yet the stock declined as investors priced in peak cycle fears. This divergence is echoed by Michael Burry's shift to long-dated puts on the SOXX, signaling institutional caution regarding the sustainability of the $750B AI spending boom. While the fundamental demand for memory remains strong, the market is increasingly focused on valuation limits and potential demand destruction. Accenture shares soared over 23% at market open, acting as a catalyst for a broad rally in global software and IT services stocks. IBM, ServiceNow, Atlassian, and Salesforce all posted significant gains, driven by Accenture's upgraded full-year revenue growth expectations. This sector-specific momentum provides a bright spot in an otherwise challenging macro environment characterized by rising bond yields and geopolitical uncertainty.
