Micron Technology reports record Q3 revenue as AI demand surges, yet stock drops 30%
Micron Technology announced fiscal third‑quarter revenue of $41.5 billion, a rise from $9.3 billion a year earlier, and diluted earnings per share of $24.67. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said AI‑driven demand and structural supply constraints will keep memory markets tight beyond 2027. The company also secured long‑term customer agreements worth roughly $100 billion through 2030 and increased its U.S. manufacturing investment to over $250 billion, including a new fab in New York.
Despite the strong results, Micron’s share price fell about 30 % after a disappointing earnings report from rival SK Hynix, prompting investors to sell. The decline affected semiconductor‑focused ETFs, with the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) down 7.9 % over the month, while the broader Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) slipped 1.8 % and the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT) rose 0.4 %.
Analysts note Micron’s valuation remains low, trading at a forward price‑to‑earnings ratio near 5, well below the tech sector average, suggesting the market may be over‑reacting to the rival’s miss rather than a fundamental weakness in Micron’s AI‑driven growth.
