Micron’s $24B Singapore Expansion Triggers 3% Stock Drop Amid Strategic Pivot
Micron Technology Inc. (MU) shares fell nearly 3% following its announcement of a $24 billion Singapore investment for NAND production capacity. The facility targets 2028 operational readiness, with 1,600 jobs created—a long-term bet on enterprise demand over consumer markets.
Analysts note the MOVE aligns with Micron's $100 billion New York and $1.8 billion Taiwan expansions to address AI-driven memory shortages. Market reaction reflects skepticism about capital allocation timing as chipmakers navigate supply chain recalibration.
