Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) shares rose about 14% in extended trading on Wednesday after the memory chipmaker reported fiscal third quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations and issued stronger-than-anticipated guidance for the current quarter.

FedEx reported adjusted earnings per share of $6.31 for fiscal fourth-quarter 2026, up 4% year over year and ahead of Bank of America and consensus estimates of roughly $5.95 and $5.97, respectively.
The Wendy's Company (NASDAQ:WEN) shares soared Wednesday morning after a since-deleted post on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum urged members to "save Wendy's before it's too late," sending the stock sharply higher from near 20-year lows.
