Micron, SNDK Selloff on TurboQuant: Overreaction or Time to Cool Down?

$Micron Technology (MU), $SanDisk (SNDK), $Western Digital (WDC), and $Seagate Technology (STX) fell 3–6% even as the $Nasdaq-100 rose. The debate: does TurboQuant reduce memory demand — or unlock more usage? Morgan Stanley says it only optimizes inference KV cache, not HBM or training. Others warn efficiency could pressure total capacity needs. With capex surging and expectations high, is this an overreaction — or the first crack in AI memory demand?

Google TurboQuant Just Makes Memory Obsolete? MU & SNDK Overblown?

$Micron Technology(MU)$ and $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ fell about 7%, $Western Digital(WDC)$ and $Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ fell 4%. That's all because of TurboQuant. Google Research has quietly published TurboQuant — a compression algorithm that makes AI inference 8× faster and uses 6× less memory, with zero accuracy loss and no retraining required. Morgan Stanley is calling it "another DeepSeek moment." The market reacted immediately: memory stocks sold off hard. Is the panic justified? TurboQuant only compresses the KV cache — the temporary memory buffer that stores key-value vectors during inference, growing linearly wi

New tech, TurboQuant addresses the high cost and bottleneck of KV caches in AI, which typically grow rapidly as conversational context increases. In short, this further push performance to next level. Doesn't mean it pull down demand of memory. personally, I felt this like digital camera where photo/ video can be captured with higher quality and users are further pushing on higher content and others accessories equally increase. hence, this is just a tech breakthrough to enjoy higher performance.  each other components are still important and require. So this should mean demand are still there.

Google’s New Tech Hits Micron & Semis—Sell or Buy?

On March 25, $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ unveiled a new AI memory compression algorithm, TurboQuant, claiming it can reduce memory requirements during large language model inference by sixfold while increasing computational speed by eightfold, all without sacrificing accuracy. Specifically, as AI models grow more powerful, context windows continue to expand, and key-value (KV) cache storage grows geometrically, becoming a core bottleneck for both performance and cost. TurboQuant leverages PolarQuant and error correction (QJL) to maintain full model accuracy and a 100% retrieval recall rate. The technology can be directly deployed on existing AI systems, raising market concerns that demand for memory chips could be weakened. As a result, shares of

Biggest Lose Since Last Sep, What Happens To The Market?

The real danger isn't the selling — it's the absence of buyers. Buy tickets near zero for multiple sessions running means the market has no absorption mechanism. Light selloff volumes look "calm" on the surface, but without a bid, even modest supply creates outsized price impact. The CTA math is the most important number in this note. They're short $18bn and have sold $55bn this month. If sentiment stabilizes, a potential $86bn forced buy — at the 99th percentile — would be one of the largest systematic covering events in years. That's not a bullish call, it's a mechanical reality. The derivatives picture is telling a two-sided story simultaneously. Short-dated puts screaming (panic index 9.14/10, front-end skew crushed), but large long-dated call flies being bought in

From my perspective, the selloff in $Micron Technology(MU)$ $Seagate Technology PLC(STX)$ $Western Digital(WDC)$ $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ looks more like a knee-jerk reaction. Google Research’s TurboQuant is impressive, but the market is oversimplifying it into “less memory = less demand,” which I don’t fully agree with. The key point for me is that TurboQuant only compresses inference-side KV cache, not HBM used for training or model weights. Lower costs typically drive higher usage — meaning more queries, longer context, and larger models. That’s why I see $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ a

🌟🌟🌟 Google's TurboQuant has just pulled off the ultimate "Deep Seek moment" for the AI industry & the market's reaction has been nothing short of a panic attack. The "Magic":  Released on 24 March 26, this algorithm claims to shrink AI memory usage by 6x & boost performance by 8x without sacrificing accuracy. The panic:  Markets worried that if AI needs 80% less memory, demand for chips from Micron & Samsung would evaporate. The Reality Check:  Analysts call this a classic efficiency paradox.  Making AI cheaper doesn't kill demand.  It makes it explode as companies run more models, larger batches & longer contexts. Buy the Dip? Short term pain:  Stocks like SK Hynix & Micron fell 3-6% as investors took profits. Fundamental strength: The co

This is actually a very important debate for the entire AI semiconductor supply chain, not just memory stocks like Micron Technology, SanDisk, Western Digital, and Seagate Technology. The key question is simple but very powerful: > Does AI efficiency reduce hardware demand, or does it increase total usage? Historically in tech, the answer is usually the second one. --- What TurboQuant actually affects From what analysts are saying, TurboQuant mainly: Optimises KV cache Improves inference efficiency Reduces memory per query Does NOT reduce training memory Does NOT reduce HBM demand significantly Mostly affects inference VRAM / system memory So Morgan Stanley’s view makes sense: HBM (used in training GPUs) should not be heavily affected. This means companies most exposed to HBM and AI tra

Blowout Micron Earnings Lift Semis—ETF Opportunity?

After the close on Wednesday, memory giant $Micron Technology(MU)$ released its fiscal Q2 2026 results, covering the three months ending February 26. Compared with analyst expectations, Micron’s Q2 results significantly exceeded forecasts: Among them, Micron’s Q2 revenue reached $23.9 billion, surging 196% year over year and far exceeding analysts’ expectations of $19.7 billion: Micron’s revenue is primarily driven by DRAM (dynamic random-access memory), accounting for nearly 80% of total revenue, while NAND (non-volatile memory) makes up close to 20%: DRAM can be seen as the “short-term memory” of computers and servers, temporarily storing data in use. It is fast, but data is lost when power is cut. NAND is slower, but offers larger capacity and re
