That implies $35.1 billion to $41.7 billion a quarter, or 77%-110% above the first-quarter pace.

AI shares June 2026: memory and power plays go different ways

AI shares June 2026: memory and power plays go different ways

U.S. AI stocks closed out June showing a more defined split than earlier in the month. On one side were suppliers with signed AI orders. On the other, big spenders and software names trading at high multiples. NVIDIA, Broadcom, Micron Technology and Vertiv gave investors new operating numbers tied to their AI business.
