Micron's shares experienced an 8% decline due to a disappointing margin forecast, overshadowing a strong revenue outlook driven by AI semiconductor demand. As one of the few suppliers of high-bandwidth memory chips essential for AI applications, Micron's profitability is being impacted by lower pricing in consumer memory chips. Analysts noted that oversupply in NAND Flash memory is further straining margins, despite the company's anticipated revenue growth linked to AI.
The forecasted adjusted gross margin of 36.5% fell short of analysts' expectations, indicating ongoing challenges in the NAND market.
