Micron Stock Drops—and Not Even Samsung’s Record Profit Can Give It a Lift

Micron stock is falling despite a surge in the AI memory market and record performance from competitor Samsung. Micron has dropped 30% from its high and lost its 1 trillion status, even though its revenue grew nearly 380% in one year. Meanwhile, Samsung is forecasting a record Q3 2026 profit of $80 billion, with earnings jumping nearly nine-fold due to the AI memory boom. Investors are selling Micron shares despite analyst expectations of tight memory supply through 2028 and high commitment rates for next year's output.
