On July 8, Micron Technology fell 3.19% overnight, trading at approximately $906.58/share, with turnover of $7.98 billion. The decline extends multi-day weakness as the memory sector officially enters technical bear market territory.
On the news front, Micron Technology and Sandisk have both fallen over 20% from recent highs, technically confirming bear market status. Samsung Electronics previously reported Q2 operating profit surging 1,810% year-over-year, but the strong results paradoxically triggered concerns over intensifying industry competition and potential supply-demand imbalance. Goldman Sachs reported that hedge funds have been net sellers of the semiconductor sector for four consecutive weeks. Internally, Micron executives have cumulatively sold over $124 million in stock over the past three months, with Executive VP April Arnzen alone liquidating approximately $43.4 million on July 1 through 18 transactions. Options markets also reflected heavy bearish sentiment, with a $21.45 million far-dated put order placed on 730-strike contracts expiring July 17.
