TOP STORY
Morgan Stanley may be bullish on SpaceX, but a surprising warning buried in its own report has veteran investor and short seller Jim Chanos calling it out.
The overlooked detail raises major questions about SpaceX’s path forward. The warning comes as shares recently hit a 52-week low yesterday, putting renewed focus on the company’s ambitious plans and massive funding needs.
BENZINGA VIDEO SPOTLIGHT
Semiconductor stocks are the best-performing sector in the market this year. AMD is up over 150%. Micron's market cap just passed $1 trillion. Global chip sales are on track to hit $1.5 trillion in 2026, nearly double last year's total.
But Michael Burry, the investor who predicted the 2008 crash, is actively shorting several names, including Nvidia and the SOXX semiconductor ETF, warning that this rally mirrors the final months of the dot-com bubble.
In this video, we break down both sides of the argument. And with earnings around the corner, guidance will validate or expose the semiconductor rally.

Yesterday: U.S. indexes finished mixed Tuesday as rising geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran weighed on investor sentiment, pushing oil prices higher and pressuring the Dow and S&P 500. President Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran over, raising concerns about renewed conflict and disrupting hopes for continued peace talks. Despite the broader weakness, the Nasdaq edged higher, supported by gains in Nvidia and other semiconductor stocks. While many high-flying tech names have recently pulled back, expectations for the sector remain strong, with analysts forecasting tech to deliver the fastest revenue growth and the second-highest earnings growth of all 11 S&P 500 sectors in the second quarter.
On Our Radar: Looking ahead, Wall Street will be watching initial jobless claims and existing home sales data, as well as remarks from Fed speakers (John Williams, Lorie Logan) for clues on the economy and interest rate outlook. On the earnings front, all eyes will be on Delta Air Lines (DAL) which will report before the market opens on Friday.
