Micron Forecast Triggers Concern That Best of Rally Is Over
Micron Technology Inc., the largest U.S. maker of memory chips, gave a revenue forecast that fell short of analysts’ estimates, adding to concern that a two-year surge in demand for its products is fading. Analysts predicted, on average, $8.45 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Mehrotra said underlying demand for memory chips remains strong and near-term fluctuations don’t herald a broad-based downturn.
