On July 15, Micron Technology fell 3.32% in regular trading, trading at approximately $952.96/share, with turnover of $48.6 billion. The decline came just one session after the stock surged over 5% following KeyBanc's target price upgrade to $1,750 and AI demand catalysts.
Storage sector stocks broadly declined at the open, with SK Hynix falling over 8% and SanDisk dropping more than 4%, as profit-taking pressure concentrated across the sector. On the news front, SK Hynix U.S.-listed options officially began trading on July 15, with approximately 150,000 contracts traded by midday. However, related single-stock leveraged ETFs and storage-themed ETFs had already diverted significant speculative capital, creating a fund reallocation effect that continued to weigh on existing storage names including Micron. The stock has now retreated over 24% from its high of $1,255, intensifying short-term bull-bear positioning.
