Micron and Palantir both validated AI infrastructure spending today.

MU surged 15.49% after analysts pointed to its dominance in high-bandwidth memory and DRAM, where supply constraints are creating durable pricing power that competitors cannot easily replicate. PLTR raised full-year guidance and reported 85% revenue growth, 133% U.S. commercial growth, and crossed $1 billion in quarterly commercial TCV bookings. Together, these moves suggest AI infrastructure spending is broad and accelerating, rewarding both the hardware memory layer and the enterprise software layer simultaneously.

A Frontier aircraft caught fire and struck a pedestrian at Denver.

ULCC fell 2.58% after a Frontier Airlines plane suffered an engine fire at Denver International Airport, with firefighters extinguishing the blaze on the runway. The aircraft also struck a pedestrian in the incident. This severity invites regulatory scrutiny, raises insurance and liability exposure, and risks brand damage among the price-sensitive travelers that ultra-low-cost carriers depend on. Watch for any FAA response or operational groundings in the days ahead.
