In other words, the move reflects cooling sentiment rather than any deterioration in the company\u2019s underlying business performance.<\/p>\n<p>During its March 19 earnings call, Micron reinforced strong underlying momentum, with CFO Mark Murphy noting that \u201cdemand far exceeds supply\u201d across both DRAM and NAND markets.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing for both segments increased sequentially, with NAND pricing rising more than DRAM, while volumes also grew, reflecting tight industry conditions. <\/p>\n<p>The company also raised its fiscal 2026 CapEx outlook to over $25 billion, up from $20 billion previously, to support AI-related demand, while noting supply constraints are expected to persist beyond 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Institutional activity showed active repositioning. Generate Investment Management increased its stake by 50.4% to about $29 million, Global X Japan raised its position by 214.3% to roughly $19 million, and Peak Financial Advisors boosted its holdings by 60%, while Q Fund Management initiated a new position representing about 8.3% of its portfolio. <\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Fort Washington&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikr.com\/blog\/micron-technology-fell-16-this-week-as-expectations-reset-heres-where-the-stock-could-go-in-2026\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Micron Technology Fell 16% This Week as Expectations Reset.
