# Micron Slips as Its Stock Boom Tops Off

> Micron Technology's shares fell 4.5% to $159.52 after its financial report failed to match the 93% increase in stock value this year. Despite beating Wall Street estimates for the fourth quarter and raising guidance for the first quarter, investor confidence waned due to the stock's previous surge. Micron anticipates $12.5 billion in revenue for the current quarter, surpassing estimates, but concerns linger about the sustainability of AI-related demand. Analysts suggest that recent increases in memory requirements may stem from over-ordering rather than genuine demand.

Shares of Micron Technology declined after its latest financial report didn't give a strong enough boost in confidence to match the 93% jump in shares' value this year.

The stock was down 4.5% to $159.52 on Wednesday. Shares have gained 38% in the past month alone.

Micron beat Wall Street estimates in its fiscal fourth quarter, as well as its guidance for the current first quarter, and several analysts raised their price targets for the stock. But the stock's run-up over the past year made it difficult for those numbers to impress investors.

The Boise, Idaho, company said it expects revenue in the current quarter to be $12.5 billion at the midpoint. That was ahead of the $11.91 billion consensus estimate on Wall Street, but some buy-side analysts were looking for around $12.5 billion, Wedbush analysts Matt Bryson and Antoine Legault said.

While Micron says it sees strong demand on top of constrained supply, there are still questions about where artificial-intelligence-related demand is headed and whether it can maintain its strength. AI giants such as OpenAI and Nvidia have made big orders for memory products in recent months, but the Wedbush analysts say there is a possibility that their demand won't last at such high levels.

"It's difficult to fully understand exactly what proportion of the uptick in hyperscale memory requirements the past few weeks is due to underlying real demand, vs. over-ordering to ensure supply," Bryson and Legault said.
