AI and memory stocks plunge amid demand concerns and rising rates, creating buying chances in quality firms like TSMC.

AI-related stocks, especially memory companies like Micron, have seen sharp declines due to worries over AI demand and higher interest rates. The selloff was triggered by slower revenue growth at Anthropic and a hotter inflation report, hitting leveraged neocloud firms hardest. While smaller AI companies face pressure from rising rates, larger hyperscalers remain more resilient thanks to strong cash flows and diverse funding. This market correction is viewed as overdue, presenting buying opportunities in solid companies such as TSMC, with investors advised to watch hyperscaler capital expenditures for signs of ongoing AI demand.

Micron Technology shares dropped 2.96% to USD 887.06 on Pluang as of Oct 15, 2026 21:32 WIB. The stock's market cap stands at $1.03 trillion with a dividend yield of 0.07%. Despite the selloff, 59% of Pluang users are buying, showing some confidence amid the AI sector's volatility.
