Micron Stock Dips Amid AI Memory Demand Speculation Ahead of Earnings
Micron Technology's shares fell nearly 2% in early trading as investors await Q4 earnings on December 17, 2025. The decline reflects cautious sentiment despite analysts forecasting a 48.8% year-over-year revenue surge. AI-driven memory demand continues to support pricing, but slowing growth momentum tempers enthusiasm.
The semiconductor firm outperformed last quarter with $11.32 billion in sales—46% higher year-over-year—yet market reaction remains subdued. Micron's stock has lagged the broader tech sector's 4.2% monthly gain, sliding 2.5% over the same period.
Memory chip pricing trends and data-center demand will dominate earnings commentary. Market participants seek clarity on whether AI applications can offset cyclical headwinds in 2026.
