On September 14, Micron Technology declined 3.5% overnight, trading at $939.65/share, with turnover of $26.01 million. The stock had closed the prior session at $975.26.
The decline came amid a broad sell-off across semiconductor stocks in overnight trading. SK Hynix fell over 4%, while NVIDIA dropped more than 2%, and Intel declined over 3%, reflecting sector-wide weakness. Multiple macro headwinds converged: U.S. August PPI data printed at 5.4% year-over-year, above the 5.3% consensus, reinforcing expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike as early as September, with CME futures pricing in a 71.3% probability. CPI data due shortly has further heightened market caution. Separately, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly urged the AI industry to slow development of frontier models, a call endorsed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk, dampening near-term sentiment around AI-driven chip demand.
Within the Semiconductor sector, top movers included NVIDIA down 1.58%, AMD down 2.51%, Intel down 3.63%, Broadcom down 1.64%, and TSMC down 1.63%. Market attention now turns to Micron's fiscal Q4 earnings report scheduled for September 30, where consensus expects EPS of $31.17, a pivotal test for the storage cycle thesis.
