Memory Stocks Slip: Micron Strike Risk, Softer NAND Prices, Toshiba Capacity Bet

Micron (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), and SK Hynix shares fell in premarket trading due to strike risk at Micron's Taiwan plants, softer NAND prices, and Toshiba's HDD capacity expansion. Micron's Taiwan workers authorized a strike vote, while NAND wafer prices dropped 2.9% this week. Toshiba's $380M investment in HDD capacity is seen as a supply-side signal, impacting sentiment in the AI memory sector. The declines extend a correction that has erased 30% or more from the sector's summer peaks.

Micron AI Demand: Why Memory Supply Is Getting Tighter

Micron reported Q4 revenue of $54.23B, up 379% YoY, with adjusted EPS at $33.42. The company expects tight supply-demand conditions through fiscal 2027-2028, with $32B in long-term agreements.
