Seagate CEO remarks on factory expansion time hit U.S. memory chip stocks

Shares of memory chip maker Seagate fell sharply on May 18 on worries it may not keep pace with memory demand from expanding AI investment.

The weakness spread across memory stocks including Micron, SanDisk and Western Digital.
