President Trump's Brokerage Accounts Sell Micron Stock, Buy Meta Platforms in August
In August, President Donald J. Trump’s brokerage accounts executed over 500 trades managed by third-party institutions. The accounts sold $251,000 to $515,000 worth of Micron Technology (MU) stock and made a significant purchase in Meta Platforms (META), acquiring between $5.1 million and $25.3 million in shares. Micron has benefited from strong demand for memory chips driven by the AI boom but faces challenges due to its position as a third-largest player behind Samsung and SK Hynix, with no durable competitive advantage. Meta Platforms reported mixed Q2 results, missing earnings estimates primarily due to severance and legal costs despite 28% revenue growth. The trades reflect shifting positions in key tech stocks amid evolving market dynamics.
