Micron Technology Shares Drop Sharply Amid Broad Tech Selloff

Micron Technology's stock price has dropped sharply, though it remains well above its level a year earlier.

The shares fell nearly 16% in a recent session, contributing to a broader market slip of about 3.4%.

On the same day, the Nasdaq composite fell 3.72% as technology stocks retreated.

Other memory‑chip makers also saw steep declines, with SK Hynix down 13% and SanDisk plunging 20%.

Micron's decline was linked to intensified selloffs in the memory sector and ripple effects from memory‑chip shortages.

Earlier in the week, Micron stock fell 11% as the Nasdaq plunged nearly 4%.

The company's forward price‑to‑earnings ratio contracted to roughly 4.8 times, reflecting the market pressure.

Analyst consensus ratings for Micron are calculated from weighted averages of multiple rating categories.
