Marketwatch columnist, Therese Poletti also highlighted the following thoughts we’ve discussed over the past few weeks.
“The forecast was huge because it attacked the biggest shadow hanging over Micron’s surging stock: the constant fear that ongoing strong demand for memory chips will abate. There are a variety of potential reasons that could happen, including the demand for smartphones peaking; sales in China falling with the absence of ZTE, effectively shut down by a U.S. Commerce Department ban, and a Chinese investigation into memory prices; and, scariest of all, that companies are hoarding chips to avoid any price increases and ensure supply amid heightened demand, which would lead to a downfall once demand and supply even out.”
