Micron Technology, the largest US maker of computer-memory chips, tumbled 16% in overnight trading after its revenue forecast missed projections by about $1 billion, hurt by sluggish demand for smartphones and personal computers.
Sales will be roughly $7.9 billion in the fiscal second quarter, which runs through February, the company said in a statement Wednesday. That compares with an average analyst estimate of $8.99 billion. Profit will be no more than $1.53 a share, minus certain items, well short of the $1.92 projection.
Though Micron is seeing strong orders for components used in artificial intelligence computing, it still faces lackluster demand from makers of phones and PCs — two markets that consume the majority of its chip volume.
