The Week

KIOXIA HOLDINGS (KXIAY) rose 3.53% this week to close at $36.70. That beat the S&P 500 by about 3.61 percentage points, with the benchmark down 0.08%. The first four sessions stayed in a narrow range around $31.69 to $33.80 before Friday (Sep 18) broke higher on heavier volume. The stock opened at $34.47, rallied to a high of $36.89, and closed near the top of the range. There were no major company announcements during the week; the main news item was a Bloomberg report on Monday that Kioxia is considering raising at least $10 billion by listing American depositary receipts in the US.

The Week Ahead

No company earnings or shareholder events are scheduled next week, so attention turns to US macro data. On Tuesday, Sep 22, the Richmond Fed composite index arrives, with the prior reading at 4. Thursday, Sep 24, brings initial jobless claims, the current account balance, and new home sales, where the annualised pace is forecast at 0.608 versus 0.607 previously. After Friday’s sharp move, whether the stock holds above $36 will likely depend on how semiconductor sentiment and macro data align.
