On August 7, Micron Technology rose 3.15% in pre-market trading, trading at $909.0/share, with turnover of $525 million, extending the storage sector rebound following the prior session's selloff triggered by SanDisk's weak guidance.

On the news front, multiple catalysts converged. SpaceX founder Elon Musk stated during the company's first post-IPO earnings call that storage is currently the only limiting factor in the AI boom, noting that demand growth far outpaces the approximately 20% annual supply increase. Separately, Deutsche Bank reported from the FMS 2026 Flash Memory Summit that Micron management emphasized AI is permanently reshaping storage into a system architecture core, with memory's share of system value rising to nearly 50%. Both DRAM and NAND remain in supply shortage. Deutsche Bank noted Micron possesses a luxury advantage of achieving growth without sacrificing profitability, potentially driving earnings upgrades and valuation re-rating.

Notably, Micron demonstrated relative resilience in the prior session, falling only 1.3% versus SanDisk's 6.8% decline and SK Hynix's 4%+ drop, as long-term customer agreements bolstered order visibility.
