Why Did Micron Stock Drop Today?
Key Points Samsung says the market for HBM memory for artificial intelligence (AI) functions is getting oversupplied. Samsung will cut prices on the most powerful HBM3E product in an attempt to win market share. Wells Fargo says this is bad news for Micron. 10 stocks we like better than Micron Technology › Shares of computer memory-maker Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) tumbled 5.2% through 11:25 a.m. ET Thursday -- but as far as I can tell, it wasn't anything Micron did to deserve this. Instead, it was Samsung that's to blame. What Samsung said about high-bandwidth memory (HBM) As WCCFTech reports this morning, Samsung has just announced it's lowering prices on HBM3E (that's "High Bandwidth Memory 3 Enhanced," currently the most capable kind of HBM memory, designed for use in artificial intelligence and machine learning). Samsung explained that on the one hand, it hasn't been able to win as much HBM business from Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) as it would like, while on the other hand, the HBM market seems oversupplied right now. And the solution to both problems -- to help Samsung move product -- is to lower prices. Is Micron stock a sell? For Micron, this poses a problem -- because Micron also wants to sell HBM3E memory, and now Samsung has effectively declared a price war in the HBM market. In order to fight it, Micron will have to lower its own prices (hurting Micron's revenue and profit), or else it will lose market share to Samsung (also hurting Micron's revenue and profit!) And if that sounds like a lose-lose proposition for Micron, that's because it is. In a note on The Fly this morning, Wells Fargo warned that Samsung's action will "impact market prices," drying up much of the premium in prices between HBM3E and plain-vanilla DRAM memory, perhaps as early as H2 2025 (i.e., now). Priced at just 20x trailing earnings, Micron stock may not look too expensive. But if profits are about to dry up as Samsung's price cuts take hold, Micron stock could look expensive in a hurry. Savvy investors might want to sell before that happens. Should you invest $1,000 in Micron Technology right now?

Hyundai Offers Killer 2026 Santa Fe Lease Deal for August
The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe looks like the South Korean brand took a 2016 Land Rover LR4 and created its own, fresher, and more attractive version. Fully redesigned last year, the Santa Fe departs completely from its sleeker predecessor in favor of a more upright and boxy look. With sharply defined fender arches, distinctive H-pattern headlights and taillights reminiscent of Minecraft blocks, an extra-wide tailgate, and a confidently boxy silhouette, the Santa Fe delivered one of the boldest and most original designs in recent memory. It's now the brand's second best-selling SUV (behind the Tucson) and third best-selling vehicle (the Elantra takes the #2 spot). The competition in the midsize SUV segment is fierce, and the Santa Fe's bold design and airy cabin stand out in a field that's packed with competitors like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, Subaru Forester, Kia Sorento, and Mazda CX-5. The fifth-generation Santa Fe is easily the boxiest in the set, and it's the only one to offer a standard third row. It has space galore, brilliant storage, cutting-edge in-car technology, and some of the best standard features in the industry. The August lease deal makes it even more appealing. August is a great time to get into a new Santa Fe SE with a lease deal at $349 per month for 36 months. $3,999 due at least signing, which includes the first $349 monthly payment and $3,650 capitalized cost reduction. No security deposit is required. Does not include registration, tax, title, license, processing or documentation fees, insurance, or any emission charge. The mileage limit is 10,000 miles per year. A $400 disposition fee is due at the end of the lease (except for CO, IN, IA, KS, ME, OK, SC, WI, WV, & WY, where the disposition fee is subject to the limitations of state laws). Not all lessees will qualify, and higher rates may apply for those with lower credit scores. Lease offer ends September 2, 2025. Learn more here. The Hyundai Santa Fe SE is the base model in the lineup. It features a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers 277 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque. It comes in front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive, using an 8-speed automatic transmission. EPA estimates are 20 city, 29 highway, and 24 combined with front wheel drive. All-wheel drive drops a smidge with 20, 28, and 23, respectively. Standard features on the SE include 18-inch alloy wheels, 235/60 R18 all-season tires, LED headlights and DRLs, LED taillights, automatic headlights, heated side mirrors, a handsfree smart liftgate with auto open, proximity key, power lumbar driver's seat, power folding rear seats, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with OTA updates, a 4.2-inch driver information display, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a proximity key with push button start. The robust set of standard safety features includes blind spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic avoidance assist, parking distance warning, forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian/cyclist/junction turning detection, adaptive cruise control with stop & go, lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, safe exit assist, and lane following assist. The Santa Fe also earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ for 2025, a remarkable achievement given the rigorous testing and high standards required to earn the title. The Santa Fe's total passenger volume is 166.6 cubic feet, and the second row provides a truly spacious 42.3 inches of second-row legroom, while the third row offers 30 inches of legroom. The cargo area provides 14.6 cubic feet behind row three, 40.5 cubic feet of space behind the second row, and 79.6 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded flat. The 2026 Hyundai Santa Fe is one of the most original SUVs on the road today. It offers tremendous versatility with its lounge-like rear section and wide liftgate. Great standard features on the base model, such as a wireless device charger, adaptive cruise control, and a 12.3-inch color touchscreen, are great examples of how much value Hyundai bakes into its vehicles. With three rows of roomy seating, the Santa Fe can accommodate big families without any trouble, and it does so in style. The very affordable monthly lease payment makes it even more attractive in the month of August. Before signing the lease agreement, be aware of the costs due at signing, including taxes and registration fees, etc. Read the lease agreement carefully and inquire about potential additional costs at the dealership. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Poppi settles class action lawsuit for $8.9M
Despite agreeing to the settlement, the Austin-based company still disputes the allegations. "Even so, taking into account the uncertainty and risks inherent in litigating this case through trial, Poppi has concluded that continuing to defend the Consolidated Action would be burdensome and expensive," the settlement agreement says.
