Micron joins the trillion-dollar club, with the AI race driving a surge in memory chip demand

Gold Finance News reported that on May 26, Tuesday, Micron Technology (MU.O)’s market capitalization first surpassed the $1 trillion mark. The company underwent a swift surge, cementing its status as one of the standout winners in the AI boom as the largest US memory chip manufacturer. Micron’s share price rose as much as 18%, to $886.6, a record high. Earlier, UBS sharply raised its target price from $535 to $1,625. According to LSEG data, this is the highest target price among the 46 brokerages tracking the company. This milestone not only highlights the core role of memory chips in AI infrastructure, but also reflects a broader shift in the AI investment landscape: after the initial rush to invest in graphics processing unit makers, investors began looking for companies that could benefit from the massive spending plans of tech giants. Samsung Electronics of South Korea, the world’s largest memory chip manufacturer, has already crossed the $1 trillion market-cap threshold, and SK Hynix is also nearing this level.
