Brains, bytes, and bucks. As AI continues to transform higher education, investors are doubling down on the technologies driving it. Florida Trust Wealth Management’s decision to increase its stake in Micron Technology reflects growing confidence in the AI-powered chip race. From classrooms to capital markets, innovation isn’t just accelerating—it’s redefining the landscape. And because it is Tech Tuesday, we couldn’t pass up a proper welcome for Artemis II, fresh off its victory lap around the Moon. Launched from sunny Florida at the start of the month, it has returned after turning our nearest neighbor into what now feels like just another quick trip. 🚀🌚

🏢 Florida Trust Boosts Bet on Micron | MarketBeat
Florida Trust Wealth Management increased its stake in Micron Technology by 19.9% in Q4, bringing its holdings to 51,233 shares valued at around $14.6M—a sign of continued institutional confidence in the chipmaker. 💵
Micron is also seeing strong support from Wall Street, with several firms raising their price targets as demand for memory and storage continues to benefit from the AI infrastructure boom.
Part of that optimism comes from Micron’s role in supplying components tied to next-generation AI systems, including those connected to NVIDIA’s expanding AI ecosystem.
Overall, the update paints a picture of a company that remains well-positioned in the AI hardware race, with both investors and analysts watching closely. 👀
