Google TurboQuant Sparks Memory-Stock Pullback, Analysts Urge Buying the Dip
TL;DR
Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) slid in pre-market trading after Google unveiled TurboQuant, an AI-memory compression tech that could reduce memory demand; MU fell about 7% and SNDK about 11%, with peers WDC and STX also down as the sector weighs potential weaker DRAM/NAND demand. Analysts are split on the impact: KC Rajkumar sees limited 3–5 year demand destruction and maintains a MU price target around $700, while Andrew Rocha cautions that AI memory needs could shrink demand if adoption is rapid. TipRanks data suggest MU has the strongest upside among major memory names, making the recent drop a potential buying opportunity for some investors.
