Micron Technology stock drops after hours as SK Hynix launches $13B AI-memory buildout
Micron Technology shares fell 2.2% in after-hours trading Tuesday after SK Hynix announced a $12.9 billion investment in a new chip-packaging plant in South Korea. Construction will begin in April and finish by late 2027. SK Hynix controlled 61% of last year’s high-bandwidth memory market, compared to Micron’s 20%. Analysts raised price targets but warned of limited clean room space and possible future oversupply.
