<p class="has-drop-cap">Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) recently issued a financial outlook that fell short of Wall Street’s expectations, causing significant shifts in its stock performance. The company projected its fiscal second-quarter revenue to be around $7.9 billion, which is below the anticipated $8.93 billion as per analyst consensus. <br><br>Additionally, Micron forecasted <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">diluted earnings per share (EPS)</a> between $1.16 and $1.36, again trailing behind market predictions. Despite these disappointing projections, CEO Sanjay Mehrotra expressed optimism, noting that while consumer markets may face challenges in the short term, they are expected to recover in the latter half of the fiscal year.</p>

<p>Micron’s first-quarter results showcased notable achievements, with a reported profit of $1.87 billion, or $1.67 per share. This marks a significant recovery from the previous year’s loss of $1.23 billion, or $1.12 per share. The company’s revenue also saw an impressive 84% increase, reaching a record $8.71 billion. Although this figure was slightly below analysts’ estimates, it exceeded the midpoint of the company’s guidance. These results highlight Micron’s robust performance in the datacenter segment, which continues to drive growth amid fluctuating market conditions.</p>
<p>Following the announcement of its financial outlook, Micron’s stock experienced a sharp decline, dropping over 13% in extended trading. Despite this setback, the stock had been performing well throughout 2024, with an overall increase of nearly 22% up to the day before the announcement. <br><br>Analysts attributed the stock’s decline to the company’s revenue and EPS forecasts falling short of expectations, which dampened investor sentiment. However, the long-term outlook remains positive, as reflected in the strong buy recommendation and target price projections.</p>
