Executive Summary

Market color: Pre-market is dominated by a broadening AI trade: memory/storage (Micron, Western Digital, Seagate, Sandisk) and chip-equipment names (KLA, Lam Research, Applied Materials, ASML) are outperforming Nvidia as investors rotate into profitable AI infrastructure beyond accelerators. Semiconductors ripped Friday even as the S&P 500 fell, with index changes (Bloom Energy joining the S&P 500, Nike exiting the S&P 100) and a strong August jobs report stoking rate-hike concerns.
