Micron Stock Slips as EUV Upgrades, AI Spending Bets, and ETF Leverage Roil Memory Shares

Micron Technology’s stock fell 6.6% to about $844.65, extending a roughly 20% drop over the past month, as three pressure points weigh on the memory-chip maker: ASML’s EUV lithography upgrades promise more efficient memory production (benefiting rivals and lifting supply expectations), concerns that Big Tech may scale back AI-related memory spending, and the amplifying drag from leveraged ETFs that worsen downside moves; after a ~700% rally over the past year, analysts see potential memory-price dynamics improving into 2027 with an average price target near $1,579, though near-term headwinds keep Micron under pressure.

ASML lifts 2026 sales outlook on AI-driven chip boom

ASML posted strong Q2 results and raised its 2026 net sales guidance to about $49.2–$51.5 billion, well above analyst estimates, as demand for EUV lithography gear accelerates amid the AI-driven semiconductor boom. The company said orders extend into 2028, with long-term capex commitments from customers like TSMC, Intel, SK Hynix and Micron, underscoring robust investment in advanced manufacturing equipment. Its shares have surged this year on the AI infrastructure rally.

ASML rides AI demand to record orders, raises 2026 outlook and trims workforce

ASML posted record Q4 bookings of €13.2 billion driven by AI-chip demand, raised its 2026 sales outlook to €34-39 billion, and reported €9.6 billion in net profit on €32.7 billion revenue, while announcing about 1,700 job cuts (3.8% of staff) mainly in the Netherlands and the U.S. and a €12 billion share buyback through 2028; the results reflect sustained AI-driven demand for EUV lithography equipment with long-term targets unchanged.

Unveiling the Unusual Crafting of Ultra-Fast Microchips

Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) is a groundbreaking technology used to create the world's fastest microchips, essential for powering advanced AI models. This technology, once thought impossible, involves using a powerful laser to create extreme ultraviolet light that etches circuits onto silicon wafers. The Dutch company ASML is the only firm capable of producing these advanced etching machines. The development of EUV was nurtured in U.S. nuclear labs and tech companies, and the U.S. is keen to prevent China from accessing this technology.

"Intel's Foundry Business: Advancements in Chip Manufacturing and Process Roadmap"

Intel Foundry, formerly known as Intel Foundry Services, is expanding its foundry business with the addition of the 14A process to its roadmap, marking the first extension in over two years. The company is aiming to become a one-stop shop for chip production, offering not only wafer lithography but also advanced packaging, chip assembly, and testing services. Intel is on track to deliver on its promise of 5 nodes in 4 years, with products based on its first EUV-based node, Intel 4, already available in the market. The company is also focusing on collaborating with Electronic Design Automation (EDA) providers and IP vendors to ensure a complete ecosystem for chip design and manufacturing.
