Movement Alert|Micron Technology Falls 5.91% in Regular Trading, SK Hynix Mega-IPO Diverts Capital as Profit-Taking Intensifies

Market Focus07-13 21:41

On July 13, Micron Technology fell 5.91% in regular trading, trading at 905.55 USD/share, with turnover of $5.04 billion. The decline was driven by multiple converging pressures including capital diversion from competitor SK Hynix's NASDAQ debut and sustained profit-taking.

SK Hynix listed its ADR on NASDAQ on July 10 with a $26.5 billion offering, setting a record for the largest foreign company IPO in the US. The massive issuance has created a pronounced capital diversion effect across existing storage stocks. Concurrently, Micron had rallied over 4% after announcing plans to boost US investment to over $250 billion by 2035, generating significant unrealized gains now being unwound.

The stock has declined over 26% from its 52-week high of $1,255, firmly in technical bear market territory. The broader semiconductor sector also weighed heavily, with Intel down 5.34%, AMD down 5.05%, and storage peers including SanDisk and Western Digital falling over 6%. Despite the selloff, Wall Street consensus remains strongly bullish, with TD Cowen maintaining a $1,600 target price and 29 of 30 analysts rating the stock a buy.
