Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) will release earnings results for the third quarter, after the closing bell on Wednesday.

Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at $1.61 per share, up from 62 cents per share in the year-ago period. Micron Technology projects to report quarterly revenue at $8.85 billion, compared to $6.81 billion a year earlier, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

On Monday, Rosenblatt analyst Kevin Cassidy maintained Micron Technology with a Buy rating and maintained a $172 price target.

With the recent buzz around Micron Technology, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company’s dividends too. As of now, Micron Technology offers an annual dividend yield of 0.36%, which is a quarterly dividend amount of 12 cents per share (46 cents a year).

To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Micron Technology, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).

Next, we take this amount and divide it by Micron’s $0.46 dividend: $6,000 / $0.46 = 13,043 shares.

So, an investor would need to own approximately $1,668,330 worth of Micron Technology, or 13,043 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.

Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $0.46 = 2,609 shares, or $333,717 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.

Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.

The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.

For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).

Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).

Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.

MU Price Action: Shares of Micron gained by 4.8% to close at $127.91 on Tuesday.

Shares of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:RCL) are surging Tuesday morning, trading in sympathy with competitor Carnival Corp after the company announced blockbuster financial results for the second quarter.

What To Know: Tuesday’s rally was ignited by Carnival’s strong performance, which included record second-quarter revenues of $6.3 billion. The company reported adjusted net income of $470 million, outperforming its previous guidance by $185 million.

This was driven by what CEO Josh Weinstein described as “a phenomenal quarter” with strong close-in demand and onboard spending. Further demonstrating robust consumer interest, Carnival’s customer deposits reached an all-time high of $8.5 billion.

Carnival’s outlook also fueled investor optimism. The company raised its full-year 2025 guidance, now expecting adjusted net income to be $200 million higher than previously forecasted and projecting a full-year adjusted EBITDA of approximately $6.9 billion.

The overwhelmingly positive data from Carnival is leading investors to bet on the entire sector’s health Tuesday morning. The record revenues, deposits and profitability reported by Carnival suggest powerful tailwinds, including high demand and strong pricing, are lifting all major cruise lines.

Price Action: RCL shares are trading higher by 2.8% to $281.39 Tuesday morning. According to data from Benzinga Pro, RCL has a 52-week high of $285.50 and a 52-week low of $130.08.

How To Buy RCL Stock

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.

For example, in Royal Caribbean’s case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Logistics and transportation giant FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX) could provide a snapshot of the sector’s performance when it reports fourth-quarter financial results after the market closes on Tuesday.

Here’s a look at the earnings estimates, what experts are saying ahead of the report, and key items to watch.

Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect FedEx to report fourth-quarter revenue of $21.84 billion, down from $22.1 billion in last year’s fourth quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The company has beaten analyst estimates for revenue in two straight quarters, while missing estimates in seven of the last 10 quarters overall.

Analysts expect FedEx to report fourth-quarter earnings per share of $5.87, up from $5.41 in last year’s fourth quarter. The company has missed analyst estimates for earnings per share in three straight quarters, while beating estimates in six of the last 10 quarters overall.

What Experts Are Saying: Investors are closely watching FedEx, which previously missed EPS estimates and provided weak guidance.

“The combination of the earnings shortfall and downgraded guidance spooked investors, dragging shares down over 10% in the days following the release,” Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods said in a weekly newsletter.

Woods said the loss of a USPS contract contributed to weakened demand and the slashed full-year outlook. Shares also fell after April 2, with concerns on tariffs impacting global shipping volumes.

“The company continues to take steps via cost cuts and segment spinoffs to streamline and turn the stock around. How quickly they execute on this plan and any positive forward guidance will be critical to drive any sustained rebound.”

Woods cautions on investors trying to time the stock’s moves after earnings with an average post-earnings move of +/- 5.6%.

“Playing this stock into earnings has been a fool’s game. Wait for the dust to settle.”

FedEx’s cost initiatives led Bank of America Securities analyst Ken Hoexter to reiterate a Buy rating on the stock ahead of earnings last month. Hoexter lowered the price target on the stock from $272 to $270.

Hoexter was positive about the company’s progress on its cost initiative. However, he’s cautious about B2B volumes and the impact of tariffs.

Key Items to Watch: FedEx has seen a shift in its financial results. It recently posted several consecutive revenue beats after missing estimates in seven of the prior 10 quarters. The company struggles on earnings, missing EPS estimates in recent quarters despite beating six out of the last 10 overall.

A double beat could provide investors with optimism. The company has struggled to meet or beat estimates for both figures in recent quarters.

United Parcel Service (NYSE:UPS), a FedEx rival, posted mixed results. It beat analyst estimates for earnings per share in six of the last 10 quarters, while missing revenue estimates in nine of the last quarters.

UPS will report second-quarter financial results in late July, with FedEx’s report serving as a potential catalyst for UPS shareholders on what’s to come.

More important for investors and analysts will be an update on guidance going forward. The company previously said it expected 2025 revenue to be flat or slightly down year-over-year after a previous guidance of being flat.

The company may choose not to provide forward guidance, which could also decrease shares.

One potential positive for the company could be providing more commentary on a recent partnership with Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN). FedEx will provide shipping help for Amazon on some package deliveries, including in rural areas.

This partnership comes after a large deal between the two companies previously ended. UPS scaled back its relationship with Amazon.

Price Action: FedEx stock is up 0.7% to $226.20 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $194.30 to $313.84. FedEx stock is down 17.5% year-to-date and down 11.8% over the last year.

UPS has also seen its stock price fall. Shares are down 19.9% year-to-date in 2025 and down 28.4% over the last year.

Fiserv Inc. (NASDAQ:FI) and PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL) announced a new partnership Monday focused on creating interoperability between their stablecoins, FIUSD and PayPal USD (PYUSD), to streamline global digital payments.

The initiative will target use cases like international transactions, merchant payments, and faster settlements, aiming to integrate programmable stablecoins into traditional financial systems.

By combining their global reach and technical platforms, the two firms hope to drive broader adoption of blockchain-powered financial tools.

Fiserv COO Takis Georgakopoulos said the partnership reinforces the company’s goal of expanding stablecoin-based payments across banking and commerce.

PayPal EVP Frank Keller noted the collaboration could help resolve common financial challenges such as slow settlement times and currency fluctuations.

As part of the effort, Fiserv is developing FIUSD to support next-gen banking solutions for financial institutions. PYUSD, launched in 2023, has already been applied to remittances, startup funding, and invoice processing.

Beyond the PayPal partnership, Fiserv is also expanding its stablecoin initiatives through a separate collaboration.

Circle Internet Group, Inc. (NYSE:CRCL) and Fiserv announced a partnership to enhance digital dollar payments using stablecoin technology.

The collaboration will integrate Circle’s USDC platform with Fiserv’s financial services tools to enable faster, lower-cost domestic and international transactions.

The goal is to offer banks and fintechs real-time settlements and cross-border capabilities within a secure, compliant framework.

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to expanding stablecoin-based financial tools.

Rollout will happen in stages and depend on regulatory approval and partner readiness.

Separately, Fiserv announced plans to launch a new stablecoin, FIUSD, by year-end and integrate it into its global payments infrastructure. Built with Paxos and Circle, FIUSD will offer banks and merchants seamless access to digital assets via blockchain platforms like Solana, enabling faster, cost-effective transactions across Fiserv’s vast financial network.

Investors following this development may also want to track activity around Block Inc. (NYSE:SQ) and Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN), along with related ETFs such as Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (NYSE:BLOK) and Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF (NYSE:BITQ).

Price Action: FI shares are trading higher by 3.92% at $169.78, PYPL was up 2.30% at $71.66, and CRCL rose 8.81% to $262 at last check Monday.
