SOBR Safe (NASDAQ:SOBR) picks up $3.1M amid more warrant dilution risk

SOBR Safe, Inc. said after the close Wednesday it plans to raise about $3.1 million in gross proceeds from a repriced warrant exercise. The cash is big compared to its existing balance, but it will also push up the share count. The move looks like a bridge to help with a planned merger and to hit a Nasdaq deadline, not new money for its alcohol-monitoring unit, which shuts down this month.

Micron (NASDAQ:MU) drops more than CXMT’s IPO valuation as China DRAM risk hits shares

Micron Technology, Inc. shed around $94 billion in market value by late Wednesday morning, more than the $85.6 billion valuation expected for ChangXin Memory Technologies’ Shanghai debut. The stock dropped 8.4% to $900.78 at 11:52 a.m. EDT as investors looked at whether a nearly doubled capital raising could bring new DRAM supply faster. DRAM is used in servers, PCs and phones. That’s a sharp move for a rival that hasn’t started trading yet.

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Turns a $400 Million High-NA Tool Into a Manufacturing Hedge

Intel Corporation has begun high-volume production of a subset of Panther Lake laptop chips using ASML Holding N.V.’s High NA EUV system, making it the first chipmaker to ship a volume logic product with the technology. The more useful signal for investors is what Intel did not do: selected 18A layers are also qualified on ASML’s established NXE platform at matched yields, so Panther Lake is not tied to the new machine.
