Before joining Warner Bros., Armstrong worked in the legal affairs division at Walt Disney Pictures and as a litigation associate at the law firm Paul Hastings, LLP.

Armstrong holds a J.D. from Northwestern’s Pritzker School of Law and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management. Armstrong is also a member of Northwestern University’s Board of Trustees, a life member of the Law Board at the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, a member of the Executive Leadership Council, and a member of the executive branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.

The stock had risen 13% this month, ahead of earnings, on investor optimism that Micron would benefit from AI-driven demand. "Micron's largely inline forecast may have been good enough two or three months ago, but is not enough to meet current lofty hopes, especially after a 67% year-to-date rally in its share price," said Michael Schulman, chief investment officer at Running Point Capital.

  • Fed's Bostic says inflation moving in 'right direction,' sees one Q4 rate cut

    Inflation in the U.S. "appears to be narrowing" and that should allow the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates later this year, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said in a policy essay released on Thursday. After concern that inflation might stall at an elevated level, Bostic said recent data point to renewed progress, including the fact that the share of goods and services increasing at a greater than 5% annual rate had dipped below 20% - more akin to where it was before the COVID-19 pandemic and similar to the share seen when inflation was slowing fast last year. "It's moving in the right direction," Bostic said of a metric he has singled out as one of his touchstones for the U.S. central bank's battle against inflation that spiked to a 40-year high in 2022.
