Our MU data runs from Apr 27, 2012 to Nov 2, 2026. Highs set before that date still count, so a decline that was already under way on the first day is shown from its low in our data and marked as such. Days are calendar days. The backdrop column names a period only where both the peak and the low fall inside a very well-known market episode.

What the history shows

  • -The deepest decline was 94.6%, reaching its low on Oct 24, 2012 after a decline that began before our data.
  • -The fastest 20%+ fall took 10 days (20.5%, November 2025 to November 2025).
  • -Completed recoveries took a median of 161 days (about 5 months) from trough to a new high, ranging from 15 days to 3,359 days (about 9.2 years).
  • -The June 2026 to July 2026 decline had not closed back at its prior high as of Nov 2, 2026.

A fall of 20% or more from a high is the usual rule of thumb for a bear market, and single stocks have them far more often than broad indexes. These figures describe what happened to MU in the past. They do not predict what comes next and are not advice to buy or sell. Learn more in What Is a Drawdown? and Drawdowns vs Corrections vs Bear Markets.
