Micron Stock Dips Despite Amazon's $220 Billion AI Investment
Micron Technology's stock price dropped approximately 4.2% on Friday despite Amazon's announcement to increase its planned 2026 capital expenditure to $220 billion.
This decline comes after Micron rallied around 18% the previous day, Thursday, due to Microsoft's cloud outlook that restored confidence in AI infrastructure demand.
The reversal suggests some investors took profits as Treasury yields increased and expectations for lower interest rates weakened.
Amazon attributed higher prices for memory products to its expanded investment requirement, indicating that memory remains a significant component of data-center spending.
