Pomerantz Law Firm Files Class Action Against Micron Technology for Securities Violations

Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Micron Technology

On February 4, 2025, the Pomerantz Law Firm announced the initiation of a class action lawsuit against Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) and certain of its executives. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, has been docketed under case number 25-cv-80040. The action targets individuals and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Micron common stock between September 28, 2023, and December 18, 2024.

Understanding the Class Action

This class action arises from allegations that Micron and its officers misled investors regarding the company's performance and prospects. Investors claim they suffered damages due to violations of federal securities laws, specifically under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5.

Micron is recognized for its design, development, manufacturing, and sale of memory and storage products, which include dynamic random access memory (DRAM), NAND, and NOR semiconductor devices. These products serve various markets, ranging from personal electronics like PCs and smartphones to industrial applications like data centers.

Throughout the filing period, it was alleged that Micron's leadership consistently assured investors of a recovering demand for their products, especially in consumer-oriented markets and their NAND offerings. However, many believe these assertions were excessively optimistic and did not align with the actual declining market conditions.

Background on Industry Challenges

Micron's regulatory filings indicate that the memory and storage sector faced significant challenges starting in late 2022 due to declining demand, reduced average selling prices, and weakened economic conditions. These adverse factors were highlighted in the company's statements, but insiders purportedly insisted that recovery was on the horizon.

Investors grew concerned as the financial results reported on December 18, 2024, contradicted previous assertions. The earnings report reflected a much steeper drop in NAND flash memory revenues, disappointing future guidance, and significant downward revisions in estimated profits and sales.

After this announcement, analysts reacted swiftly, decreasing their price targets for Micron stock, which led to a dramatic decline in the company’s share price by over 16% following the news release. Investors who bought shares during the class period are urged to take action; they have until March 10, 2025, to request to be appointed as Lead Plaintiff.

Importance of Class Actions

If successful, class actions can lead to significant financial restitution for the plaintiffs.
