Nasdaq 100 Stocks SEC Filings — March 18, 2026

USA NASDAQ-100

3 high priority8 medium priority11 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

Across 11 NASDAQ-100 related filings, standout performance from Micron Technology with record Q2 FY2026 revenue up 75% QoQ ($13.64B to $23.86B) and 196% YoY ($8.05B), driving 74.4% GAAP gross margins (up from 36.8% YoY) and a 30% dividend hike to $0.15/share, signaling robust semiconductor demand amid AI boom. Biotech and metals sectors show clinical and operational progress (MetaVia Phase 1 approval, ImmuCell board addition, Welsbach video), while Faraday Future's $500k employee share repurchase aligns management with shareholders. Dilution risks emerge in Creative Media & Community Trust's issuance of over 261M common shares for preferred redemptions, potentially pressuring stock price. Neutral shelf registrations (Critical Metals F-3) and governance updates (Pineapple, Community Trust) indicate routine capital access and stability. Portfolio-level trends reveal margin expansion outliers in semis (Micron +3,760 bps YoY gross margin) contrasting dilution in REITs; forward catalysts cluster in Q2-Q4 2026 for biotech data and dividends. Overall, bullish tech/semiconductor momentum outweighs dilution and neutral fundraising themes, with actionable buys in high-growth leaders.
