Why Micron Stock Plummeted 28.7% in July But Is Rebounding in August
Valuations for AI hardware stocks faced intense pressures last month, but investors have become more bullish recently.
Overview
Micron (NASDAQ: MU) stock got hit with a big pullback in July's trading. The memory-chip leader's share price fell 28.7% in a month that saw the S&P 500 trade roughly flat and the Nasdaq Composite's level fall by 2.6%, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
On the heels of massive gains across the first half of 2026, Micron stock suffered a huge sell-off in July in response to earnings reports and guidance from South Korean memory chip leaders and potential threats posed by the rise of competition from Chinese companies. In addition to those bearish catalysts, Micron's share price was also pressured by macroeconomic and geopolitical dynamics.
