Micron Technology, Inc. (MU): one to watch?

Real business is booming, but the crash reflects genuine fear that today's record memory prices/margins won't last — not a company-specific problem.

Why MU dropped

This is a sector-wide memory/AI-chip selloff (Samsung, SK Hynix, SanDisk, Western Digital all fell too), triggered by a huge new Chinese DRAM competitor (CXMT) going public and flooding the market with cash, plus Korean regulators curbing leveraged ETF investing, on top of broader "AI valuation" jitters — no fraud, no guidance cut, no lost customer at Micron itself.
