Trump’s Micron Praise Fails to Move Markets as Memory Stocks Slip

Trump praised Micron on Truth Social, but MU slid about 10% on the day amid sector-wide profit-taking after a massive run, as investors reset positions rather than chase headlines. Micron beat Q3 results (revenue about $41.46B, non-GAAP EPS $25.11, gross margin 84.6%) and guided Q4 to roughly $50B revenue and $31 EPS, supported by 16 Strategic Customer Agreements targeting ~$100B in floor-price revenue and about $22B in deposits. Insider selling of $32.7M added to the pullback, underscoring that endorsements rarely move stocks when demand has already priced in perfection and memory names remain under pressure alongside broader AI memory demand themes.
