On October 1, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares declined 8.4% overnight, trading at $30.30/share, with turnover of $168 million.
On the news front, global memory giant Micron Technology reported fourth-fiscal-quarter results that massively exceeded market expectations, triggering a broad semiconductor sector rally and driving the inverse-leveraged ETF sharply lower. Micron posted revenue of $54.23 billion, surging 379% year-over-year, with gross margins reaching 87%. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $33.42, well above the consensus estimate of $31.83. Crucially, management explicitly guided that memory supply-demand conditions in fiscal years 2027 and 2028 will be even tighter than the current year, effectively locking in a multi-year upcycle driven by AI compute and HBM demand.
As a triple-leveraged inverse product, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares amplifies losses when the underlying semiconductor index strengthens. The Micron earnings beat validated the storage super cycle thesis, fueling bullish momentum across the semiconductor complex and pressuring the bearish ETF accordingly.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily inverse exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
