With the wide array of uses for tech in our world today, the industry continues to wow investors across the board. Because of this, it may be wise to keep an eye on the latest movers in the tech world now.

Just last week, Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) CEO Sanjay Mehrotra provided a positive update on the semiconductor chip industry. In an interview with CNBC, Mehrotra said that the company is seeing a “healthier and more robust demand environment than ever“. This is mainly thanks to its memory chip tech being used in tandem with semiconductor chips in a wide range of tech industries today. According to Mehrotra, these include the smartphone, automotive, data center, gaming, and industrial markets.

Meanwhile, Chinese tech companies such as Didi (NYSE: DIDI) and Weibo (NASDAQ: WB) continue to make headlines in the stock market today.

Namely, CrowdStrike is now among the top three names in the endpoint protection platform industry in terms of market share.

Furthermore, CrowdStrike received two key awards from Amazon’s AWS last week. The awards are in recognition for “Best Cybersecurity solutions” and for “Independent Software Vendor of The Year”. With some of the top names in tech recognizing CrowdStrike’s work now, will you be watching CRWD stock?
