(Reuters) -Micron Technology Inc on Tuesday forecast third-quarter revenue would tumble nearly 60% from a year earlier but the steep drop was in line with Wall Street expectations and company executives painted a rosy outlook for 2025 with artificial intelligence boosting sales.
With a glut still nagging the chip industry, Micron expects the deepest revenue drop since 2001. Micron said it would keep investments at about $7 billion for fiscal year 2023, the lower end of a previously stated range. It will target a 15% headcount reduction this year, bigger than its previous 10% target.
