Micron (NASDAQ:MU) drops more than CXMT’s IPO valuation as China DRAM risk hits shares
Micron Technology, Inc. shed around $94 billion in market value by late Wednesday morning, more than the $85.6 billion valuation expected for ChangXin Memory Technologies’ Shanghai debut. The stock dropped 8.4% to $900.78 at 11:52 a.m. EDT as investors looked at whether a nearly doubled capital raising could bring new DRAM supply faster. DRAM is used in servers, PCs and phones. That’s a sharp move for a rival that hasn’t started trading yet.
