Pop icon Taylor Swift has donated $5 million to Feeding America to support their disaster relief initiatives in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton.
What Happened: Feeding America announced Swift&#8217;s substantial contribution on Wednesday. The funds are earmarked for relief efforts in communities impacted by the recent hurricanes.
Feeding America&#8217;s CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, expressed gratitude for Swift&#8217;s donation, stating it will &#8220;help communities rebuild and recover, providing essential food, clean water, and supplies to people affected by these devastating storms.&#8221;

The announcement of Swift&#8217;s donation came just hours before Hurricane Milton was predicted to hit the west coast of the Florida peninsula. The storm is expected to bring historic storm surges, heavy rainfall, and record-breaking flash and urban flooding, <a href="https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4925400-taylor-swift-donates-5-million-feeding-america-hurricane-relief/">reported</a> The Hill.
Feeding America has been actively involved in recovery efforts since Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic damage to Southern states less than two weeks ago. The organization has dispatched 140 truckloads of relief supplies to 11 food banks in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee.

Why It Matters: Swift&#8217;s donation comes at a crucial time as Florida braces for the impact of Hurricane Milton, the second hurricane to hit the state in less than two weeks. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41231817/hurricane-milton-dire-warning-if-you-choose-to-stay-youre-going-to-die-officials-encourage-writing-n">Evacuation orders</a> are in place for multiple Florida counties, with officials issuing dire warnings for those who choose to stay home.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41254312/hurricane-milton-descends-on-florida-analysts-warn-of-impact-on-disney-nexteras-flo">analysts</a>, sectors including insurance, regional banks, fitness centers, utilities, hospitals, and theme parks could be negatively impacted by Hurricane Milton. The storm is predicted to have a significant impact on Florida&#8217;s most populous areas, including the Tampa Bay area.
Furthermore, Goldman Sachs estimates that Hurricane Milton could cause an adverse <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41229099/disney-faces-150m-200m-blow-from-hurricane-milton-attendance-set-to-drop-6-says-goldman-sac">impact of $150 million to $200 million</a> on Walt Disney World's Parks and experiences in the current quarter. This potential loss is primarily attributed to the expected drop in domestic attendance at Walt Disney World, with projections now suggesting a 6% year-over-year decline in attendance growth, compared to an earlier estimate of a 2% decline.

Several rappers have bought leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) over the years, but fewer have bought meme coins like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), which is loved by billionaires like Mark Cuban <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/11/35860106/if-you-invested-100-in-dogecoin-when-elon-musk-first-tweeted-about-the-crypto-heres-how-mu">and Elon Musk.</a>
One rapper took a chance on Dogecoin in 2021, but his timing may have been among the worst.
What Happened: Logic, 50 Cent and Nas, who also<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41204472/if-you-invested-1000-in-bitcoin-when-rap-legend-nas-sang-that-he-was-coin-based-basically-"> invested in cryptocurrency companies,</a> are among the rappers who have bought Bitcoin or rapped about the cryptocurrency over the years.
Rapper Meek Mill announced on May 4, 2021, that he bought Dogecoin.
"I just grabbed some doge I'm tired of missing out," Meek Mill <a href="https://x.com/MeekMill/status/1389621286536634368">tweeted</a>.  
The rapper spent $50,000 on 92,411 Dogecoin according to a <a href="https://www.xxlmag.com/meek-mill-dogecoin-stock-50000-dollars/">report </a>from XXL Mag.
Meek Mill <a href="https://x.com/MeekMill/status/1390099342720176134">tweeted </a>a day later "what's up wit doge coin" asking his followers why the cryptocurrency was moving, sharing a screen shot from his account.
Dogecoin traded between $0.400800 and $0.65998 on May 4, 2021, the date of the rapper's purchase. No matter when investors bought Dogecoin they would be down if they chose to follow the rapper.
A $1,000 investment could have bought 1,650.17 DOGE on May 4 based on the highest price of the day. The $1,000 investment would be down 82% since the rapper's tweet.
While it is unknown if Meek Mill still holds any Dogecoin, the rapper would be down on his position and likely took a loss if he sold, depending on when his sale was made.

Meek Mill's Bad Timing: Dogecoin went on to hit all-time highs just days after the rapper made the purchase. The all-time high was $0.7376 on May 8, a date which coincided with Musk appearing on "Saturday Night Live" and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/05/27064582/today-is-the-one-year-anniversary-of-elon-musk-on-snl-and-dogecoin-all-time-highs-heres-wh"> mentioning the meme coin.</a>
The May 4, 2021 tweet signaled Meek Mill was tired of missing out and his timing may have missed out on some huge profits.
On Jan. 8, 2021, Meek Mill <a href="https://x.com/MeekMill/status/1347577344609955842">tweeted </a>about cryptocurrency.
"I need everybody that rock wit me to learn about stocks and crypto currency!" the rapper tweeted.
The rapper didn't learn about cryptocurrency — or at least Dogecoin — as his first investment wouldn't come for four more months.
Dogecoin traded between $0.009177 and $0.010867 on Jan. 8, 2021.
A $1,000 investment by the rapper at that day's high price could have bought 92,021.72 DOGE. The Dogecoin investment would be worth $10,011.96, up 901.2%.
If Meek Mill bought the same $50,000 in Dogecoin at the high price on Jan. 8, 2021, he could have bought 4,601,085.86 DOGE.
That same investment would be worth $500,598.14 today and would have been worth $3,393,760.93 at the coin's all-time high.

If You Invested $1,000 In Dogecoin When Rapper Meek Mill 'Grabbed Some Doge,' Here's How Much You'd Have Today

Rosie Mattio, founder and CEO of Mattio Communications, and Jason Erkes, chief communications officer at Cresco Labs (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRLBF#OTC">CRLBF</a>), both agreed that throughout their many years in public affairs and communications, they'd never seen anything quite like Florida's cannabis legalization campaign in support of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amendment 3</a>.
"Massive…massive," said Erkes at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a> on Oct. 9. The panel was &#8220;One Month Out: Inside Florida&#8217;s Record-Breaking Adult-Use Legalization Effort.&#8221;
Erkes noted the <a href="https://drupal-cloudfront.benzinga.com/topic/smart-safe-florida" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Smart &amp; Safe Florida</a>&nbsp;campaign raised at least $100 million to get the word out.&nbsp;Indeed, Amendment 3 is the best-funded cannabis legalization amendment in American history, surpassing the previous record set by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/20/04/15926183/two-years-after-prop-64-california-cannabis-industry-at-a-crossroads" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">California's 2016 Proposition 64.</a>
Amendment 3 will go before Florida voters this coming&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">November</a>.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Getting The Word Out Like None Other</h1>
One of the campaign's strengths, said Mattio, was that it meets people where they are — in the towns and communities across Florida — and the reception has been positive. People relate to issues such as criminal justice reform and freedom of choice. They don't necessarily need to be cannabis consumers to get behind these basic concepts, Mattio said. Not to mention that medical marijuana has been legal in Florida for a decade and its success "has been an example of what a good program looks like," she added.
Mattio and Erkes had the highest praise for Smart &amp; Safe's nearly 800 satellite offices all over Florida, the thousands of lawn signs, the campaign's 13 TV ads and of course making sure people were registered to vote. "It's a political campaign, after all," Erkes said.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Speaking Of TV Ads &nbsp;</h1>
Panel moderator Bryna Dahlin asked about the recent lawsuits popping up in Florida. There's the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41156781/trulieve-sues-florida-gop-for-defamation-over-false-and-misleading-claims-as-cannabis-legalizati">defamation lawsuit</a> launched by Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCNNF#OTC">TCNNF</a>) accusing the Florida Republican Party of intentionally misleading voters with a deceptive TV campaign ad. 
That lawsuit alleges that the TV ad in question misleads voters by implying that only large cannabis companies, such as Trulieve will benefit from marijuana legalization. 
Then there's Florida state Sen. Jason Pizzo&nbsp;(D) who is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41207561/desantis-state-of-florida-under-fire-for-taxpayer-funded-anti-cannabis-ad-as-new-lawsuit-emerges">suing the State of Florida</a> for misusing taxpayer dollars to fund an ad produced by the&nbsp;Florida Department of Transportation opposing Amendment 3.
"I generally don't think it's a good idea to poke the bear," said Erkes, but in this case "one way to discredit a false narrative is to launch a lawsuit." In fact, it's a great PR campaign, he added.

EXCLUSIVE: 'Poking The Bear' As Florida's Contentious Cannabis Legalization Vote Looms

For meteorologists who study extreme weather events like Hurricane Milton — and Hurricane Helene just two weeks ago — the most frightening aspect of the back-to-back storms <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41257552/how-strong-is-milton-what-to-expect-from-hurricane-categories-1-through-5">isn&#8217;t just strength</a>. 
It&#8217;s speed. 
The fact that Milton mutated from tropical storm to Category 5 hurricane in under 24 hours stunned NBC6 Miami&#8217;s John Morales to the point where he held back tears. Watch the video<a href="https://twitter.com/JohnMoralesTV?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor"> in his X account</a>.

But I invite you to read my introspection on <a href="https://twitter.com/BulletinAtomic?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BulletinAtomic</a> of how extreme weather &#x1f4c8; driven by global warming has changed me.

Morales isn&#8217;t alone. Other scientists sounded the alarm, too. They used words like &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/AndyHazelton/status/1843342493318033642?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email">unprecedented</a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/webberweather/status/1843317499091382515?s=46&amp;t=xkbHVlvdaIg9MYo3Hv8M_w&amp;utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email">jaw-dropping</a>.&#8221;

Within 36 hours of formation, Milton&#8217;s winds reached 180 miles per hour. That&#8217;s lightning fast in the world of storm tracking. 
But it shouldn&#8217;t have been a surprise. Helene also mutated from a tropical storm to a Category 4 hurricane in just two days.
For those wondering how two storms, with rains Morales described as &#8220;<a href="https://thebulletin.org/2024/09/hurricane-helene-isnt-an-outlier-its-a-harbinger-of-the-future/#post-heading">biblical</a>,&#8221; are a sudden reality, NASA has an answer: Warm ocean waters due to human-caused climate change.
These conditions caused Milton and Helene to become powerful Category 5 storms.
&#8220;Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico were well above average for this time of year as Milton churned toward Florida,&#8221; NASA Climate, an account affiliated with NASA, posted on X.

The primary business activities of certain companies are directly linked to greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane.
You know the names: Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) and Chevron Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), Marathon Oil Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRO#NYSE">MRO</a>), BP plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>) and PetroChina (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PCCYF#OTC">PCCYF</a>), to name a few.
&#8220;I tried to warn people,&#8221; Morales wrote in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists last month. &#8220;Except that the warning was not well received by everyone. A person accused me of being a &#8216;climate militant,&#8217; a suggestion that I'm embellishing extreme weather threats to drive an agenda. Another simply said that my predictions were &#8216;an exaggeration.&#8217; But it wasn't an exaggeration.&#8221;
Meanwhile, oil companies operating in the Gulf are currently experiencing setbacks. Chevron&#8217;s Blind Faith platform, for example, shut down and forced personnel to evacuate. It produces around 65,000 barrels of oil per day.
Historically, companies like Shell PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) and others in the Gulf region followed similar protocols, ahead of significant storms like Helene and — just a couple of weeks earlier — Hurricane Francine​.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ExxonMobil&#8217;s Accepts, Then Denies</h1>
Like Morales, ExxonMobil&#8217;s own scientists made similar predictions — in 1977. 
InsideClimateNews <a href="https://insideclimatenews.org/news/02052024/from-the-archive-exxon-research-global-warming/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email#:~:text=He%20warned%20Exxon%20scientists%20and,degrees%20Fahrenheit)%20at%20the%20poles.">republished</a> a 2015 article this past May that chronicles how James Black presented evidence to Exxon brass decades ago, detailing how the oil industry&#8217;s operations would endanger humanity.
&#8220;There is general scientific agreement that the most likely manner in which mankind is influencing the global climate is through carbon dioxide release from the burning of fossil fuels," Black said at the time.
Exxon eventually <a href="https://insideclimatenews.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Exxon-Review-of-Climate-Research-Program-1981.pdf">nixed its carbon dioxide research</a> and chose, instead, to deny climate change. 
Fast-forward to today, elected officials are either <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RbvIMfwNzU">dismissing</a> it entirely or calling it a <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/265895292191248385">hoax</a>. Meanwhile, the U.S. produces more oil <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/10/35240230/us-is-producing-more-oil-under-biden-than-at-any-point-under-the-trump-administration">than ever before</a>. 
&#8220;We're seeing it play out in this post-truth era, in ways that's really damaging society. And I'm not talking more in the psychological, esoterical ways, or maybe in the election outcome ways. This is getting in the way of emergency management agencies doing their job and saving lives and getting people out of harm's way,&#8221; Morales <a href="https://thebulletin.org/2024/10/meteorologist-john-morales-theres-rapid-intensification-theres-extreme-rapid-intensification-and-then-theres-hurricane-milton/">says</a>. &#8220;It's getting in the way of recovery efforts&#8230; And yeah, it's definitely a hindrance to my mission as a person whose life mission is saving life and property.&#8221;
What&#8217;s Next: The U.S. Energy Information Administration continues to analyze energy data, and how Milton <a href="https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=63444">affects</a> energy infrastructure. The agency will publish an inventory report on Thursday; The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/commodities-futures/u-s-natural-gas-futures-move-lower-as-storm-looms-24b63a6f?mod=latest_headlines">expects</a> the surplus in U.S. natural gas to contract as Hurricane Milton makes its way across Florida.

Actor Jim Belushi compared the similarities of acting and cannabis to an audience at the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"> Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference on Oct. 9.</a>
Here's a look at what makes the two sectors similar and more on Belushi's journey to help people through cannabis.
Acting to Cannabis: Belushi may be best known for his roles in television and movies, but at the 2024 Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, the audience and other speakers are aware of his efforts in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40720303/hollywood-star-jim-belushi-brings-cannabis-expertise-to-chicago-conference-in-october">the cannabis sector.</a>
The actor said "It's been a great journey" going from one farm to now having products sold in 14 states.
Cannabis is like acting, Belushi told the crowd.
Belushi said as an actor he asked himself why he was doing acting and it came down to the idea of making people feel good.
"You want them to leave the theater feeling good," Belushi said.
Belushi said the switch to cannabis comes with the same mentality.
"Adding on cannabis to my purpose, the purpose is the same. Cannabis makes people feel good."
The actor and cannabis entrepreneur said cannabis can help with pain, increase happiness and make people feel better overall. "I feel like I am totally on purpose from actor to cannabis," he said.
Belushi, who stars in "Growing Belushi," which airs on Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>)-owned Discovery, credits his partners and relationships in the industry for helping his growth.
"We are bred on a plant that is based on kindness, generosity and healing."

Challenges of Cannabis: Belushi said one of the main differences between cannabis and "show business" is the amount of time it takes to get things done.
Within the cannabis industry, the biggest challenge Belushi highlighted was the price. "Growing is very expensive," Belushi said.
The actor and entrepreneur said the market is oversaturated and it's hard to make any margin in states like Oregon.
Asked later on about his advice to someone looking to start their own grow farm, Belushi answered, "Don't do it. Don't f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ing do it."
Belushi admitted he never got involved in cannabis for the money and was just hoping to break even, adding "I already got my TV money."
Belushi said he got involved in cannabis and remains involved despite the struggles as people should focus on things they're passionate about.
"I have passion for what this plant can bring to our community."
 What's Next: Belushi said he was excited about the potential for rescheduling happening this year and questions why it hasn't happened.
Until rescheduling happens, Belushi said doctors at Veteran Affairs can't give people cannabis instead of oxycontin.
"Why aren't we taking care of them?" Belushi asked of the country's veterans.
Belushi also said he was disappointed to see Vice President Kamala Harris talk about putting so many people in California into jail when many were put in there for marijuana-related crimes. The actor noted that he is not anti-Harris, but disagrees in this matter.

Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference Celebrates Best D9 THC Beverages Of 2024

Atomera Incorporated (ATOM) Q1 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

PEGY, CGEM and IFBD among mid-day movers

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Nanotechnology, the science of manipulating matter at the atomic and molecular scale, is set to revolutionize numerous industries. Larger, more established firms often overshadow many promising undiscovered nanotech stocks. This presents a unique opportunity for savvy investors to explore high-growth prospects.



The global nanotechnology market is projected to grow significantly, with estimates suggesting it could reach <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-nanotechnology-market-driving-business-growth-gdfdf">$332.73 billion by 2032</a>. The technology&rsquo;s diverse applications in the healthcare, electronics, energy and materials science sectors have driven growth.



As the industry matures, the companies pioneering advancements in nanotech are poised to offer substantial returns. However, these investments come with risks typical of emerging technologies. However, this is where the greatest potential for gains comes from. There may not be any prospect for gains in the stock market without a proportionate amount of risk involved.



So, investors looking for undiscovered nanotech stocks should consider adding these three in June.



<h2>Nano Dimension (NNDM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/nndm-stock-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Nano Dimension (NNDM stock) logo in an iPad, on the background their proprietary 3D printer"><div>Source: Spyro the Dragon / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Nano Dimension (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nndm-stock-quote/">NNDM</a>) is a prominent player in the nanotechnology sector. It focuses on developing advanced 3D printing technologies and intelligent machines to fabricate additively manufactured electronics (AME).



Nano Dimension&rsquo;s primary product is its DragonFly Pro system, which utilizes conductive and dielectric nano-inks to produce high-performance electronic devices. These nano-inks enable the creation of multilayer PCBs (printed circuit boards), antennas, sensors and other functional electronic parts with high precision.



NNDM <a href="https://3dprint.com/310253/3d-printing-financials-do-nano-dimensions-q1-earnings-pave-the-road-to-profitability/">reported mixed financial results</a> for Q1 2024, showing positive trends and ongoing challenges. The company&rsquo;s revenue slightly decreased to $13.36 million from $14.97 million in the same quarter in 2023. Despite this drop in revenue, Nano Dimension managed to significantly cut its net loss to $34.8 million, down from $57.6 million the previous year. The company also achieved a notable improvement in gross margins, which rose to 46.2% from 43.9%, with an adjusted gross margin of 49.8%, up from 47.1%.&nbsp;



<h2>Atomera (ATOM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="165" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/nanotechmsn-300x165.jpg" alt=""><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Atomera (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/atom-stock-quote/">ATOM</a>) is considered a nanotech stock due to its use of nanotechnology principles in developing its proprietary Mears Silicon Technology (MST). It enhances the performance and efficiency of semiconductor devices. Atomera&rsquo;s technology aims to improve the electrical characteristics of transistors, which are fundamental components in various electronic devices.



The company generates revenue primarily through licensing agreements with semiconductor manufacturers. These collaborations help integrate MST technology into commercial production.



The company <a href="https://ir.atomera.com/websites/atomera/English/3110/news-detail.html?airportNewsID=fb5b197a-1a84-4873-a7cc-a1defb91da26">made significant progress</a> with customers across all four market focus segments last quarter and recorded a record number of commercial proposals in the last three months. Notably, Atomera saw promising results in a new product category, Compound Semiconductors.



Financially, Atomera reported a net loss of $4.8 million, or $0.19 per share, for Q1 2024, a slight improvement from the $5 million net loss or $0.21 per share, in Q1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA showed a loss of $4 million, compared to a $4.2 million loss in the same period the previous year.



<h2>Aehr Test Systems (AEHR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/semiconductor1600e-300x169.jpg" alt="semiconductor stocks Close-up electronic circuit board. technology style concept. representing semiconductor stocks. top semiconductor stocks to buy now. semiconductor stocks to sell"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aehr-stock-quote/">AEHR</a>) provides test and burn-in equipment for semiconductor manufacturers. Their advanced testing systems are critical for ensuring the reliability and performance of semiconductors, which often involve nanotechnology processes.



Aehr&rsquo;s test and burn-in systems detect early failures and ensure the long-term reliability of semiconductor devices. These systems apply electrical stress to components, identifying potential defects before they are integrated into end products.&nbsp;



Last quarter, <a href="https://www.aehr.com/2023/10/aehr-reports-continued-strong-revenue-and-earnings-for-the-first-quarter-of-fiscal-2024-on-strength-of-production-wafer-level-burn-in-products-for-silicon-carbide-semiconductors/">net revenue reached $20.6 million</a>, a 93% increase from the previous quarter. GAAP net income was $4.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, up from $589,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in Q1 2023. The company reported $18.4 million in bookings and a backlog of $22.3 million. Cash provided by operations was $3.9 million.



With the rising importance of semiconductors, AEHR stock will continue to be a strong performer, and its nanotech solutions will be a money-maker for the business.

Treasure Hunt: 3 Nanotech Stocks Wall Street Hasn't Discovered Yet

Riverwater Micro Opportunities Strategy Q2 2024 Commentary

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
<a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/semiconductor/">Semiconductor stocks</a> are absolutely on fire right now. Investors are drawn to the promise of the chip sector, especially as it provides the raw computing power necessary to power the artificial intelligence revolution.



The industry&rsquo;s benchmark fund, the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NYSEARCA:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/smh-stock-quote/">SMH</a>), has soared over 75 percent over the past 12 months. And individual AI-related chip companies have posted even larger gains.



This might make it seem like <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/-stock-quote/"></a>it&rsquo;s too late to find bargains in the industry. And yet, the chip industry is broad. There are dozens of publicly-traded companies that take part and not all of them have seen an AI-driven boost, at least not yet. These are three semiconductor stocks to buy now that are, amazingly enough, near their 52-week lows &mdash; at least for the time being.



<h2>Astera Labs (ALAB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/alab1600-1-300x169.png" alt="Person holding smartphone with logo of U.S. semiconductor company Astera Labs Inc. (ALAB) on screen in front of website. Focus on phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Founded in 2017, Astera Labs (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/alab-stock-quote/">ALAB</a>) has already made a big splash. 



The company IPOed earlier this year and has achieved a market capitalization of around $8 billion, which is an impressive sum for such a young company.<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/-stock-quote/"></a>



Astera designs, manufactures, and sells semiconductor-based connectivity solutions for cloud and AI infrastructure. 



Specifically, it focuses on its Intelligent Connectivity Platform which gives clients a broad range of data, network and memory products which deliver cloud and AI solutions at scale.



While ALAB stock technically IPOed for $36 per share, it closed its first trading day at $62 each. The stock would quickly go on to hit a peak of $95 as <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/03/alab-stock-astera-labs-pops-a-stunning-70-after-ipo/">investors warmed up</a> to its AI potential.



Since then, however, skeptics have emerged with a focus around the company&rsquo;s valuation. 



That&rsquo;s valid, with the stock currently going for more than 100 times forward earnings. 



However, the company&rsquo;s revenues are expected to soar from $304 million in 2024 to $611 million in 2026 while reaching <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/ALAB/earnings/estimates">$1 billion</a> in 2028. That&rsquo;s simply amazing top-line revenue growth, and the fact that the company is already profitable is nice as well.



ALAB stock has now sunk to around $55/share putting it near its lowest point since its IPO launched. That could make it a compelling dip-buying opportunity for growth-focused investors.



<h2>Atomera (ATOM)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/semiconductor1600c-300x169.jpg" alt="AI. Circuit board. Technology background. Central Computer Processors CPU concept. Motherboard digital chip. Tech science background. Integrated communication processor. 3D illustration representing semiconductor stocks. Semiconductors Stocks to Sell"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Atomera (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/atom-stock-quote/">ATOM</a>) is a small semiconductor firm. Its name comes from the idea that it aims to deliver technology at the atomic level.



Specifically, it developed a patented, quantum engineered material called <a href="https://atomera.com/">Mears Silicon Technology</a> which enhances transistors. Atomera believes its MST technology can improve battery life, shrink device footprints and improve web server performance.



The company has been in business for many years, and it may be reaching an inflection point. Last year, it announced a pivotal <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230426005799/en/Atomera-Signs-Commercial-License-Agreement-with-STMicroelectronics">commercial licensing deal</a> with industry heavyweight STMicroelectronics (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/stm-stock-quote/">STM</a>).



This is a high-risk pick, to be sure, given Atomera&rsquo;s historical lack of meaningful commercial revenues. But in this market, it&rsquo;s hard to find technology companies at 52-week lows.



Unlike many firms with a slumping stock price right now, Atomera has reasons for optimism. The massive short interest, currently at <a href="https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=ATOM&amp;ty=c&amp;ta=1&amp;p=d">17% of the float</a>, could easily lead to a squeeze. And the STMicroelectronics licensing deal could be a precursor to more sustained commercial success.



<h2>Aehr Test Systems (AEHR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/semiconductor1600a-300x169.jpg" alt="Close-up Presentation of a New Generation Microchip. Gloved Hand Holding Piece of Technological Wonder. Semiconductor stocks are in the news."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Aehr Test Systems (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aehr-stock-quote/">AEHR</a>) isn&rsquo;t quite at its 52-week lows anymore, as the stock has ripped higher over the past week. 



Still, down from a 52-week high of $54, shares are deep in the discount bin with the stock currently around $16.



Aehr Test Systems offers test solutions for testing, burning-in and semiconductor devices in wafer level, singulated die, and package part form and installed systems worldwide.&nbsp;



Because Aehr Test Systems is focused more on test systems for chips that go into consumer electronics, it has missed out on the recent AI boom. 



In fact, as sales of mobile phones, tablets and other such units has fallen, the company has seen weakness in demand for its chip testing systems. It is also involved in chips for autos, where business has also slumped with the recent downturn in <a href="https://investorplace.com/2024/06/the-3-electric-vehicle-stocks-best-positioned-for-long-term-success/">electric vehicles</a>.



But, the bottom appears to be near. Analysts are projecting a roughly 20% decline in earnings for its fiscal year 2024. However, Aehr Test Systems just delivered a better-than-expected earnings report and it dramatically <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4123175-aehr-test-systems-stock-up-14-after-raises-fy24-revenue-guidance-above-estimates">raised guidance</a> for its fiscal year fourth quarter as well.



AEHR stock is still down 60% over the past 12 months. That&rsquo;s a grossly excessive decline given that the earnings trend has turned, and the company should return to double-digit growth in 2025.
