Stock Track07-13 21:44

Micron Technology's stock plummeted 7.49% during Monday's intraday trading, as the memory-chip maker faced a confluence of negative factors.

The decline was driven by significant profit-taking pressure following Micron's recent surge after the company announced plans to invest over $250 billion in the United States by 2035. Additionally, the record $26.5 billion Nasdaq debut of rival SK Hynix's ADR on July 10 created a capital diversion effect, pulling funds away from established memory stocks like Micron.

Broader semiconductor sector weakness also weighed on the stock, with investors expressing concerns about the sustainability of the AI spending boom, high valuations, and escalating geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran that rattled risk appetite. Furthermore, fears about memory rivals' surging spending plans stoked worries about potential oversupply in the cyclical industry.
