Micron Technology Inc., the largest US maker of computer memory semiconductors, fell by the most in two months

Micron Technology Inc., the largest US maker of computer memory semiconductors, fell by the most in two months after making a modest increase to its revenue outlook and projecting more operating expenses.

Shares were down as much as 4.5% in New York, the most since Sept. 28. Micron is now expecting $4.7 billion in adjusted revenue in the first quarter of the fiscal year, up from as much as $4.6 billion previously. The Boise, Idaho-based company also significantly raised its projected adjusted operating expenses to $990 million.

A boost in Micron’s forecasts was widely expected as demand for chips has picked up. Investors had been looking for a turning point in what has otherwise been a brutal year for the industry. Micron shares had previously rallied 55% in 2023 on expectations that the historic chip slump was ending.
