Micron Is Down 40% Since Oct. 7. History Suggests a $5,000 Investment Today Could Be Worth This Much by 2030.
Micron Technology's stock has plummeted 40% since October 7 due to concerns about AI spending returns, Chinese competition in memory chips, and expectations of peak memory pricing in early 2028 followed by significant price declines. Trading at a low 3.7x forward earnings multiple, analysts project earnings will peak at $227.1 billion in 2028 before declining to $148.7 billion by 2030, suggesting a $5,000 investment could remain flat or double by 2030 depending on valuation multiples.
