In the high-velocity environment of equities trading, a heavy dose of volatility equates to plenty of opportunities. The capital markets saw exactly that in the first quarter of 2026, which saw strong demand for Direxion Investments' leveraged-inverse ETF product suite.

The market reaction to Micron's latest earnings is a classic example of how leveraged-inverse ETFs can be beneficial to short-term traders. In this case, the Direxion's Daily MU Bull 2X Shares (MUU) used in tandem with the Daily MU Bear 1X Shares (MUD) can offer tactical traders greater market precision.

New York, New York, USA, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Direxion, a leading provider of ETFs for tactical traders, has announced date changes for the reverse split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Direxion Daily MU Bear 1X Shares and Direxion Daily TSLA Bear 1X Shares, (the “Funds”). The total market value of the shares outstanding will not be affected as a result of this split, except with respect to the redemption of fractional shares, as outlined below.

After the market dominance of AI in 2025, investors are wondering if valuations are currently in line with fundamentals. That said, global markets are entering a critical phase in early 2026 with regard to the AI trade.

Investors are pouring into Direxion's leveraged Micron Technology, Inc. (MU) exchange-traded fund as the semiconductor giant rides a wave of artificial intelligence infrastructure spending to all-time highs.

Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) easily ranks among the top-performing equities, gaining over 140% since the start of the year. For context, Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD) — another high-flying enterprise in the advanced semiconductor space — has swung up 97% during the same frame.

Micron smashed its fiscal Q4 earnings with beats across the board and positive guidance on Tuesday, which should gives bulls more room to run. However, its largest peer in the semiconductor space, Nvidia, could be heading in the opposite direction.

When it comes to market cap size, Micron Technology (MU) might not crack the top 10 in largest semiconductor companies, but it's still a name to watch. With the broad semiconductors industry continuing to gain strength, MU is poised for further upside.

While artificial intelligence may dominate the digital sphere, this innovation wouldn't amount to much without specialized memory chips. That's where semiconductor giant Micron Technology Inc. MU comes into view.

On Thursday, Direxion launched four new leveraged and inverse ETFs that bring single-stock exposure to the semiconductor sector.  The Direxion Daily AVGO Bull 2X Shares (AVL) and the Direxion Daily AVGO Bear 1X Shares (AVS) focus on Broadcom.
