Market is closed today, so I’ve been reading a lot of posts trying to explain what happened yesterday.
MU reported a solid quarter, but memory stocks still got sold off hard.
Maybe it was just profit-taking after a huge run.
Maybe valuations got too stretched.
Maybe people are calling it sector rotation.
But that’s the part I’m not fully buying yet. If it was rotation, I didn’t really see another sector clearly absorbing all that money.
Another thing in the back of my mind is SK Hynix becoming easier for U.S. investors to buy soon.
For a long time, MU was the easiest way for many U.S. investors to play the AI memory story. That may start to change.
I’m not saying yesterday’s sell-off was because of SK Hynix. I honestly don’t know.
I’m just wondering if the market is starting to think differently about memory stocks now that investors may soon have another major name to compare against MU.
Personally, I’m not chasing SK Hynix on day one. I’d rather wait for the first few trading sessions to settle.
For MU, I’m watching whether yesterday’s low holds next week before thinking about adding.
Maybe I’m overthinking it.
But yesterday’s move felt like more than just a normal post-earnings reaction.
Curious how others are reading it
