US chipmaker Micron Technology post-results sell-off sent a fresh reminder to global investors about the risks inherent in bets on artificial intelligence (AI) chipmakers.
Days after leading AI chipmaker Nvidia slumped by about US$500 billion, Micron shares fell about 8 per cent in extended trading, after the memory maker offered a forecast that fell short of the highest estimates.
Micron is among the companies that have gotten a lift from the rally around AI-related stocks, as its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) can be used alongside Nvidia’s chips for training large language models.
Its shares had more than doubled in the year prior to its Wednesday (Jun 26) report.
However, the company was punished for not outperforming elevated expectations, even with an outlook that was almost in line with the average of analyst estimates.
