Memory and Storage Futures Gain Trading Share
Mutsamudu, Comoros, September 1, 2026 — MEXC has released data on individual stock futures activity during the latest U.S. technology earnings season.
Between July 20 and August 7, 2026, six major U.S. technology companies reported their results. During this period, memory and storage stocks accounted for 67.3% of measured trading volume on MEXC. Their share was 57.5% during the previous 19-day period.
The combined share of Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Microsoft, Apple and Amazon changed only slightly. It moved from 2.6% to 2.7%, according to the exchange’s report.
Memory and storage stocks therefore held nearly 25 times the trading share of these six companies. The chip design and manufacturing group, which included NVIDIA, moved from 5.3% to 5.4%. NVIDIA had not reported its earnings during the measured period.
SK Hynix Results Affect Related Futures Products
SK Hynix reported its second-quarter results on July 29. The company said revenue rose 257% year over year, while operating profit increased 557%. It linked the growth to AI server demand, higher memory prices and long-term supply agreements.
Official SK Hynix results confirm the reported year-over-year increases in revenue and operating profit. The company also cited demand for high-value memory products used by AI servers. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
According to MEXC, trading volume rose 140% for Micron and 110% for the Roundhill Memory ETF that day. Samsung volume increased 272% before its own earnings report.
Volume also rose 116% for the Direxion Daily South Korea Bull 3X Shares ETF, known as KORU. The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF, or SOXL, recorded a 25% increase.

Samsung Outlook Supports the Memory-Sector Theme
Samsung reported its results on July 30. It expected stronger demand for server DRAM, enterprise solid-state drives and high-bandwidth memory during the second half of 2026. The company also indicated that supply could remain tight.
MEXC reported that volume rose 20% for Micron and 19% for SanDisk following the update. KORU volume increased 34%, while SOXL rose 15%.
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said storage companies are affected by similar demand, pricing and supply conditions. He added that an earnings report from one company can change expectations across the wider sector.
Most Trading Peaks Occurred Outside Earnings Day
The study covered 10 main assets. These included Alphabet, Tesla, Meta, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Intel, SanDisk, SK Hynix and Samsung.
According to MEXC, 60% of these assets reached their highest trading volume outside their earnings day. Half peaked after earnings, while 10% peaked before the release. The remaining 40% recorded their highest volume on earnings day.
The SK Hynix futures product tracking Korean-listed shares reached its peak on August 11. This was 13 calendar days after the company reported earnings. Volume was about 1.5 times its earnings-day level.
Four days earlier, SK Hynix had approved about KRW 54 trillion for new DRAM and NAND production facilities. This suggests that later industry news may continue to affect trading after an earnings announcement.
Stock Futures Trading Continued During Market Closures
MEXC also examined trading when traditional stock markets were closed. Average Sunday volume for MEXC Stock Futures was equal to 25.4% of the average daily volume recorded from Tuesday through Friday.
On Sunday, August 9, platform-wide individual stock volume fell 40.3% from the previous day. However, the SK Hynix product rose about 228% following news about the company’s factory investment plan.
This activity suggests that industry announcements can affect related futures products outside normal stock-market hours. However, lower-liquidity periods may involve wider price gaps, higher slippage and orders that are harder to fill.
Report Methodology and Important Limitations
MEXC said its wider study covered data from July 1 through August 11, 2026. Dates were calculated using Beijing Time. Contracts tracking the same asset but quoted in different currencies were combined.
The exchange analyzed products tracking SK Hynix’s Korean-listed shares separately from products linked to its U.S.-listed depositary receipts.
The findings describe activity recorded on MEXC and should not be treated as a measure of the entire stock or futures market. The report also does not provide individual account-level capital-flow data.

What Traders Should Understand About Stock Futures
Stock futures are derivative products that track the price of an underlying stock or exchange-traded fund. Buying a futures contract does not provide ownership, voting rights or shareholder rights in the underlying company.
These products may also use leverage. Leverage can increase both gains and losses. Sharp price moves may cause liquidation, while low market liquidity can increase slippage.

Conclusion
MEXC’s data shows that memory and storage stock futures remained the main trading theme during the measured technology earnings period. Their share increased to 67.3%, while the six Big Tech companies held a combined share of only 2.7%.
The report also found that trading activity often continued after earnings day. Industry demand, supply updates and factory investment news appeared to influence related companies and sector ETFs.
