Stock Market Today: Tech Futures Plunge As Micron, Nvidia, Sandisk Dive (Live Coverage)
1 min read
The story
Micron, Nvidia, and SanDisk are leading a sharp plunge in tech futures, pointing to a sector-wide catalyst — likely a macro shock, export restriction headline, or a demand warning — hitting semiconductors broadly rather than a single-company event. MU posted $37.4B in FY2025 revenue (+48.9% YoY) at 39.8% gross margin, while NVDA printed $215.9B (+65.5% YoY) at an extraordinary 71.1% gross margin, meaning both stocks carry elevated expectations baked in.
The simultaneous selloff across memory (MU, SanDisk) and compute (NVDA) raises the question of whether this is a temporary risk-off flush or an early read on a demand inflection — AI capex deceleration or renewed export controls would be the most damaging scenario. Traders will watch for follow-through below key technical levels in NVDA and MU, any confirming commentary from hyperscalers, and whether the move in SanDisk (typically less liquid) implies a supply-chain signal.
The case — both sides

NVDA's 71.1% gross margin and 65.5% YoY revenue growth reflect genuine AI infrastructure demand that remains structurally intact, and any selloff without a confirmed demand catalyst could simply represent a buying opportunity at a slightly lower multiple for a company still compounding at scale.
Both MU and NVDA are priced for sustained hypergrowth, and a simultaneous multi-name selloff in semis — spanning memory and compute — historically signals an early demand-cycle warning that tends to persist for multiple quarters, not just sessions.
The house read
Leans bearNVDA and MU are selling off hard alongside SanDisk — the open question is whether this is a short-term valuation flush or the start of a demand-cycle turn that justifies a sustained re-rating lower.
Wrong ifIf the move is purely technical or driven by a single macro macro wobble (e.g. a rate print) with no demand deterioration, both NVDA and MU could snap back sharply given their underlying revenue momentum; a short squeeze in NVDA specifically is a known risk given heavy retail interest.
