Micron's Blowout Q4 Lifts AI Stocks, But Treasury Rout Caps Gains
MU has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $163.96.
Summary
Micron's Q4 earnings beat consensus, with revenue of $54.23B and adjusted EPS of $33.42, renewing confidence in AI demand. The stock initially lifted AI-related names, with Samsung and SK Hynix up ~3% in Asian trade. However, a relentless Treasury selloff—10-year yields up 4.7 bps to 5.338%, 30-year up 4.1 bps to 5.675%—tempered the rally, and European AI-linked stocks faded as the Stoxx 600 fell 1.2%. Rising oil prices (Brent toward $100/bbl) and a stronger dollar added to the macro headwind. The net effect is a tug-of-war between Micron's strong fundamentals and a deteriorating rate environment, leaving the stock's near-term direction uncertain.
