Micron reports largest loss on record as memory-chip market melts down, but stock gains as execs say inventory issues have peaked

Micron Technology Inc. reported its largest quarterly loss on record due to an inventory write-down of more than $1.4 billion on Tuesday, but shares held up as executives suggested the memory market may be reaching a bottom.

Analysts on average were expecting an adjusted loss of 67 cents a share on sales of $3.71 billion, according to FactSet. Micron shares gained more than 1% in after-hours trading immediately following the release of the results, after closing with a 0.9% decline at $59.28. The final total was higher than any of those estimates at $1.43 billion, or $1.34 a share. Micron also said it would increase plans to shrink its workforce to a 15% reduction from previous guidance of 10%.
