Micron Drops 3.5% as Memory Peers' Guidance Disappoints
MU has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $106.75.
Summary
Micron shares fell 3.5% premarket after storage peers Sandisk and Western Digital reported better-than-expected earnings but issued guidance that fell short of lofty AI-driven expectations. Sandisk dropped 9% and Western Digital plunged 14%, dragging Micron lower despite its different product mix. The move extends Micron's recent weakness—down 10% over the past month—as investors question the durability of AI-fueled memory demand. With Micron's own record Q3 results and $1 trillion market cap in the rearview, the market is now punishing any hint of slowing momentum in the space.
At the time of this announcement, MU was trading at $863.93 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $1T. The 52-week trading range was $106.75 to $1,255.00. This news item was assessed with negative market sentiment and an importance score of 7 out of 10. Source: Dow Jones Newswires.
