FedEx Corp. Reports First Quarter Results
September 21, 2021

First quarter operating results were negatively affected by an estimated $450 million year over year increase in costs due to a constrained labor market which impacted labor availability, resulting in network inefficiencies, higher wage rates, and increased purchased transportation expenses. This was partially offset by higher package and freight yields, increased international export express shipments and a favorable net fuel impact. In addition, while commercial ground and U.S. domestic express package volume increased year over year, continued supply chain disruptions have slowed U.S. domestic parcel demand compared to the company’s earlier forecast.

higher wages is not the only factor which leads to higher prices. other expenses and factors oso contribute.
but same time, there will be costs going down.
ppl shud stop trying to make min wages look bad dat it will lead to higher costs. there are other costs like rents, fuel.

Micron Technology, Inc. Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of Fiscal 2021
September 28, 2021

Fiscal 2021 highlights

Revenue of $27.71 billion versus $21.44 billion for the prior year
GAAP net income of $5.86 billion, or $5.14 per diluted share
Non-GAAP net income of $6.98 billion, or $6.06 per diluted share
Operating cash flow of $12.47 billion versus $8.31 billion for the prior year

Investments in capital expenditures, net were $2.01 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $9.72 billion for the full year of 2021, which resulted in adjusted free cash flows of $1.88 billion for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $2.75 billion for the full year of 2021. Micron repurchased approximately 13.9 million shares of its common stock for $1.05 billion during the fourth quarter of 2021 and 15.6 million shares of its common stock for $1.20 billion during the full year of 2021 and ended the year with cash, marketable investments, and restricted cash of $10.46 billion, for a net cash position of $3.69 billion.

Micron Technology, Inc. Fiscal Q4 2021 Earnings Call Prepared Remarks
Sept. 28, 2021

Overall, our preliminary view is that calendar 2022 industry bit demand growth will be consistent with
long-term industry bit demand growth compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) — in the mid to high
teens for DRAM and approximately 30% for NAND. We anticipate underlying demand in calendar 2022 to
be led by increasing data center server deployments, 5G mobile shipments and continued strength in
automotive and industrial markets. Additionally, non-memory supply shortages that are constraining
customer builds across various end market segments and that are pushing out some demand should ease
throughout 2022, supporting demand growth during the year. Given prudent industry capex and very lean
supplier inventories, we expect healthy industry supply-demand balance and robust profitability for both
DRAM and NAND in the year.
