Down 20% Over the Past Week, Should You Buy the Dip in Micron Stock?

Shares of Micron Technology (MU) have pulled back sharply, down roughly 20% over the past five days, even after delivering a blowout earnings report on March 18 that crushed Wall Street expectations on both revenue and profitability, driven by surging artificial-intelligence (AI)-related demand. However, the sell-off highlights a critical shift in investor sentiment in a market where expectations have been elevated by the AI boom; even impressive results may not be enough to sustain momentum.

Micron’s pullback appears to reflect a combination of profit-taking after a massive run-up, concerns that memory pricing may be approaching a peak, and growing scrutiny around the sustainability of current margins amid aggressive capacity expansion.
