On October 2, Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares rose 5.16% in pre-market trading, trading at $161.12/share, with turnover of $232 million.
The primary catalyst behind the rally is global memory leader Micron Technology's latest earnings report, which massively beat expectations. Revenue surged 379% year-over-year while gross margin reached 87%. The company explicitly stated that memory and storage supply-demand dynamics will tighten further over the next two years, formally confirming a storage chip pricing super cycle. Broad-based strength across semiconductor names — including Arm up 4%, AMD and Intel up over 3%, and Broadcom up 1.6% — amplified the leveraged ETF's gains.
Adding to medium-term bullish sentiment, UBS projects global semiconductor revenue to reach $1.63 trillion, representing 118% year-over-year growth, with the upcycle expected to persist through at least 2028. AI compute chips, advanced packaging, and equipment materials remain core investment themes supporting sector momentum.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in financial instruments that provide 3X daily leveraged exposure to an index tracking the thirty largest U.S. listed semiconductor companies. The fund is non-diversified.
