Chip stocks tied to the AI boom got hammered today, with Micron dropping 12% despite expectations for massive earnings growth. The whole sector is selling off as investors panic, but the fundamental story hasn't changed.

## Idea

Micron is expected to post nearly 1000% earnings growth thanks to insatiable AI demand for memory chips. Yet the stock just crashed 12% because the entire tech sector is in panic-selling mode. When good companies get dragged down with the broader market despite unchanged fundamentals, it often creates a buying opportunity. The selloff is driven by fear, not by a deterioration in Micron's actual business. Once the panic subsides, the stock should recover as investors realize the AI memory shortage is still very real.
