Micron Technology has faced a significant decline of 35% in its stock price over the past six months, primarily due to disappointing guidance despite strong fiscal Q1 results. The company reported an impressive revenue increase of 84% year-over-year, driven by a surge in demand for memory chips from data centers, particularly for AI applications. However, the stock plummeted 16% following the earnings report, as concerns about weak consumer demand overshadowed the positive financial performance.
The outlook for Micron remains cautiously optimistic, especially with expectations of robust growth in the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) market, projected to reach $30 billion in 2025. The company is ramping up production to meet the increasing demand from major clients like Nvidia, which is integrating Micron's chips into its AI systems. Despite current challenges in consumer markets, the anticipated growth in AI-driven applications for PCs and smartphones suggests a potential rebound for Micron's stock.
