The stock is down roughly 21% year-to-date, making it the second-worst performer among the "Magnificent Seven" in 2026, as AI infrastructure spending fears dominate sentiment.

Micron Technology shares fell approximately 28% over the past 30 days, dropping from $1,145.28 on June 29 to $820.53 on July 28, 2026.

GLW plunged -15.08% during Tuesday's regular session after reporting Q2 results that beat estimates but issuing Q3 revenue guidance that fell slightly short of elevated Street expectations. Q2 core EPS of $0.78 on $4.74B in core sales topped consensus, yet Q3 revenue guidance of $4.9B–$5.0B (midpoint $4.95B) came in just below the ~$5B analysts had penciled in.

SHAZ plunged -18.47% during regular trading hours on Tuesday, dropping from a prior close of $58.79 to $47.93, extending a multi-week rout that has erased more than half its value since early July peaks near $97. The selloff follows yesterday's -9.40% decline and reflects mounting investor anxiety ahead of the company's Q2 2026 earnings announcement, after Q1 results missed estimates with an EPS of -$1.43 versus -$0.89 expected and negligible revenue of just $1.54 million TTM.

CVLT shares plunged -15.94% during Tuesday's regular session, despite reporting fiscal Q1 (June quarter) results that beat on both adjusted EPS ($1.42 vs. $1.16 consensus) and revenue ($314.1M vs. $310.5M consensus). The sell-off was triggered by a significant miss on annual recurring revenue (ARR), which came in at $1.05 billion versus the $1.15 billion analysts had projected, while billings declined -5.9% year-over-year.

SANM plunged -19.52% during regular trading on Tuesday after reporting Q3 FY2026 results that beat on both EPS ($3.31 vs. $2.79 consensus) and revenue ($3.46B vs. $3.40B), yet disappointed with forward guidance. The selloff was driven by Q4 revenue guidance of $3.3B–$3.6B (midpoint $3.45B), which came in below the $3.52B analyst consensus, alongside a lower ZT Systems Q4 revenue outlook of $0.8B–$1.0B due to legacy program timing shifts.

AMKR plunged -24.08% during Tuesday's regular session, falling from a $60.71 prior close to $46.09, as a post-earnings sell-off accelerated throughout the trading day. The primary catalyst was disappointing Q3 revenue guidance of $1.95B–$2.05B (midpoint $2.0B), which fell well short of the $2.1B consensus, overshadowing a strong Q2 beat of $0.70 EPS on record $1.9B revenue.

Oracle Corporation (ORCL) closed at approximately $120 on July 27, 2026, down roughly 63% from its September 2025 all-time high of $345.72. The $250 price target aligns with the consensus analyst 12-month forecast of approximately $248, implying potential upside exceeding 100% from current levels.

NVTS shares plunged -10.96% to $10.16 during Tuesday's regular session, following a -2% to -3% after-hours decline Monday after the company reported Q2 2026 earnings. The primary catalyst was a Q2 GAAP net loss of $228.2 million ($0.95/share), which included a $203.1 million non-cash earnout liability charge that dramatically overshadowed a revenue beat of $10.53M vs. $9.84M expected.
