Verdict: Micron took the Nvidia CEO shock better than its peers and kept most of Wednesday’s jump. Nvidia’s third-quarter results on Tuesday 17 November are the test of whether that holds. Reference levels for the week: $885 above, $690 below.

How Micron’s week went

Micron started the week after a hard fall. It lost 17.46 percent on 5 November and closed at $690.00 the next day. It rose 6.25 percent on Monday 9 November, slipped 1.10 percent on Tuesday, then jumped 11.89 percent on Wednesday after CoreWeave raised its outlook and said its capacity was largely sold out through 2027.

On Thursday Nvidia said Jensen Huang had resigned as chief executive and named finance chief Colette Kress interim CEO. Micron fell 1.59 percent that day and 2.52 percent on Friday. Sandisk lost 4.11 percent and 5.59 percent on the same two days, so Micron held up better than the other big US memory name. Our Saturday Micron page covers Friday’s session.

The Motley Fool tied Friday’s slide to uncertainty across the chip industry after Huang’s exit and said Nvidia’s report is likely to move Micron one way or the other. No Micron-specific news came out over the weekend. US stock futures reopen on Sunday evening, US time.

Nvidia on Tuesday: what Micron needs to hear

Nvidia is Micron’s largest customer for high-bandwidth memory, the chips stacked next to its AI processors. Nvidia guided third-quarter revenue to $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2 percent, and consensus is about $109.2 billion in revenue and $2.48 in adjusted earnings per share, according to an Invezz preview citing LSEG data. Results come out at about 1:20 p.m. Pacific time on 17 November, with the call at 2 p.m. Pacific (Nvidia investor relations).

Three parts of the report matter most for Micron:

  • Data centre revenue and margins. A strong quarter supports the view that AI demand has not changed with the leadership.
  • The fiscal 2028 outlook. Kress gave a preliminary forecast of about 70 percent revenue growth in August. Whether that number survives is the main question in most previews.
  • Supply of the Vera Rubin platform. Kress has said hyperscale growth should re-accelerate in the fourth quarter as Rubin supply grows.

Options traders expect a large reaction from Nvidia. Estimates of the priced-in move differ by method: Investing.com, citing Bloomberg data, put it at 6.7 percent, while Equibles estimated 6.2 to 6.9 percent for the report alone and said straddle-based figures near 10 percent also price in the sessions around it. Our Nvidia page has the full preview.

Anthropic later in the week

Anthropic is expected to price its IPO on 18 November and start trading on Nasdaq under ANT on 19 November, according to reports citing people familiar with the plans. The range is $70 to $78, and Bloomberg reported on 12 November that the book was about six times oversubscribed. Micron is among the companies buying shares at the IPO price. A strong debut would back the case that AI spending has years to run.

What analysts say

Targets remain far above the share price. Goldman Sachs has a Neutral rating and a $1,250 target, Bernstein a Buy and $1,300, and KeyBanc an Overweight and $1,750. DA Davidson’s Gil Luria has the Street-high $3,000. The consensus was $1,561.91 across 49 analysts at StockAnalysis and $1,407.88 across 46 at MarketBeat at the end of last week. These are 12-month views; the table below covers the coming week.

Micron stock: bull, base and bear for Nvidia week

Scenario MU What has to happen Anchor
Bear $690 Nvidia’s outlook disappoints and Micron gives back the whole of last week’s gain. The 6 November close of $690.00; about 11.3 percent below $778.31.
Base $750-$828 Nvidia’s numbers are in line and Micron trades inside last week’s post-rally range. Friday’s $750.25 low and the 11 November intraday high of $827.58.
Bull $885 Nvidia’s data centre numbers and fiscal 2028 outlook hold up and memory stocks rally. The 30 October close of $884.74; about 13.7 percent above $778.31.

The bear case sits below the current price. These are reference levels measured from Friday’s close, not forecasts. The levels are wider than usual because of Nvidia’s report.

What to watch this week

  • Sunday evening: US stock futures reopen.
  • Monday 16 November: whether Micron holds Friday’s $750.25 low after the after-hours dip to $761.20.
  • Tuesday 17 November, after the close: Nvidia’s results and call. Our Sandisk page covers the flash side of the trade.
  • 18-19 November: Anthropic’s expected pricing and first trade.
  • $811.30: the 11 November close, the first level above.

Quick take: Micron closed at $778.31 on Friday and gained about 12.8 percent on the week, holding up better than Sandisk after Nvidia’s CEO exit. Nvidia’s results on Tuesday decide the next move. $690 is the downside reference, $885 the upside.
