Though the company posted third-quarter results and a fourth-quarter forecast that exceeded estimates, the stock began sliding Wednesday in late trading after a conference call with executives and continued to decline Thursday. A key focus was high-bandwidth memory, a component used in artificial intelligence computing. The technology is fueling a sales surge at Micron, but the company didn’t predict the kind of runaway growth that some investors were looking for.
