Micron and memory stocks fall after Kioxia's cautious outlook raises AI demand concerns

Micron shares dropped 4% following a cautious December-quarter forecast from Kioxia, Japan's largest memory chipmaker, which also caused declines in Western Digital and SanDisk stocks. Kioxia's forecast showed only a slight profit increase and missed analyst expectations, citing shipment timing issues but expecting growth to resume in March. This has sparked debate over whether AI memory demand is cooling or if the selloff is temporary. Micron, which produces DRAM and flash memory, faces uncertainty in AI memory pricing ahead of its next earnings report, while Western Digital and SanDisk, more focused on storage, also saw significant declines.

Micron shares are down 4.80% on Pluang as of Nov 03, 2026 02:01 WIB, reflecting continued pressure on memory stocks. Western Digital has fallen 6.31% and SanDisk dropped 4.69% on the same platform and time. The selloff is notable given Micron's $1.00 trillion market cap and the high sell order activity of 91% on Pluang.
