On May 26, 2026, the U.S. stock market迎来 another historic moment. The largest memory chip manufacturer in the United States, Micron Technology, saw its stock price surge by 18.7% during trading, reaching a high of $891.27, with a market capitalization breaking through the $1 trillion mark for the first time. By the close, Micron closed at $895.88, with a single-day increase of 19.29%, the largest one-day gain since November 2011. This year, Micron's stock price has risen approximately 213%, soaring from $285.41 at the end of 2025 to the recent high of $895.55 last month.

Just days before Micron's stock price soared, U.S. President Trump publicly praised Micron Technology at a large rally held in Saffron, New York, calling it "really great," and emphasizing that the company has invested several hundred billion dollars in the U.S. This statement, combined with a heavyweight bullish report from UBS, ignited Micron's strong rally. Memory chip peers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix also surged, leading the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index to reach a new all-time high.

瑞银大幅上调目标价至 1,625 美元,从“周期股”到“增长股”的估值重估

推动美光股价单日暴涨的直接催化剂,是瑞银分析师 Timothy Arcuri 将美光目标价从 535 美元大幅上调近三倍至 1,625 美元,成为目前覆盖美光的 46 家券商中的最高目标价。按照目标价测算,美光市值有望在 12 个月内达到约 1.8 万亿美元,届时将超越 Meta 和特斯拉等公司,成为美国市值第七大的上市公司。

瑞银的核心逻辑并非通常市场关注的 HBM 产品,而是内存行业正在发生的结构性变革。超大规模云厂商正与存储芯片供应商签订包含部分固定价格条款的长期协议,合约周期普遍长达 3 至 5 年,可分为“2+3 模式”(2 年固定条款+3 年可变条款)与“3+2 模式”两类。这些带定价约束的 LTA 将覆盖美光 60% 至 70% 的服务器 DDR5 出货量。这类协议虽然可能让美光牺牲部分短期营收换取长期需求确定性,但能够有效平滑盈利波动,推动市场对美光的估值逻辑从“周期性存储芯片公司”重新定义为“AI 增长型基础设施公司”。

特朗普为何如此看好美光?关税保护与美国本土制造的战略博弈

特朗普在 5 月 22 日的集会上公开称赞美光科技,这种级别的总统公开“喊单”在科技企业历史上极为罕见。但特朗普对美光的看好并非毫无逻辑。

一方面,美光正在执行美国历史上规模最大的半导体制造扩张计划。公司已公布总额高达 2,000 亿美元的美国本土存储芯片制造与研发投资计划,其中未来 20 年将在纽约州克莱投资最高 1,000 亿美元建设美国最大半导体工厂,预计 2030 年投产。在 AI 芯片供应链安全上升到国家战略高度的当下,美光的这一布局与美国政府将半导体制造“带回美国”的政策方向高度契合。

另一方面,特朗普政府正在研究对输美半导体征收关税,以强化美国本土芯片制造业。在这一关税保护预期下,美光作为美国本土最大的存储芯片制造商,既是“友岸制造”战略的核心受益者,也是特朗普在半导体政策上最有说服力的政绩案例。当特朗普宣称“美光真的很棒”时,外界有理由相信其中包含了关税工具配合本土产能扩张的深层政策意图。

AI 需求爆发式增长:HBM 产能售罄至 2026 年底,存储缺口短期无法填补

美光此轮飙升背后最为稳固的基本面支撑,来自 AI 基础设施建设的爆炸性需求。美光管理层已明确预警,HBM、DRAM 和 NAND 存储芯片的供应紧张局面预计将远远超出 2026 年。

在 HBM 这一 AI 加速器最关键的存储产品上,美光 2026 年全年产能已全部售罄,核心客户的需求满足率至今仍低至 50% 至 66%,供需矛盾在未来数年都难以缓解。公司已确认开始向 NVIDIA 大规模出货下一代 HBM4 内存芯片,并锁定了首个五年期战略客户协议。HBM4 的量产爬坡速度为 HBM3 的两倍,下一代 HBM4E 预计于 2027 年启动量产爬坡。

美光管理层预计,AI 内存市场将从 2025 年的 350 亿美元扩张至 2028 年的 1,000 亿美元。瑞银据此预测,美光 2027 至 2029 财年每股收益将稳固高于 100 美元,同期累计自由现金流将突破 4,000 亿美元。

华尔街机构全面看多:44 家券商中 39 家给予买入评级

美光此轮大涨之后,华尔街各大行迅速跟进上调目标价。汇丰将目标价从 750 美元上调至 1,100 美元,花旗从 425 美元上调至 840 美元,CFRA 将目标价上调至 900 美元。44 家华尔街大行中已有 39 家给予买入评级,且无一家给出卖出评级。

机构资金层面,美光在今年第一季度成为机构投资者最青睐的股票之一。约 2,440 家机构披露了对美光的新建仓,其中包括洛克菲勒资本管理公司和施罗德等全球知名资产管理机构。美光股价下方承接盘极为有力,上涨阻力远小于下跌风险。

Summary

Micron Technology's market cap surpassing $1 trillion marks the official entry of the memory chip sector into the core narrative of AI infrastructure investment. UBS's structural analysis of long-term agreements reveals a fundamental shift in market valuation logic for Micron—from the traditionally volatile "storage cycle stocks" affected by price cycles to "AI growth stocks" benefiting from long-term contract lock-in profits. Trump's public support is not just a casual statement but a product of coordinated tariff protection policies and domestic manufacturing strategies in the U.S. The short-term gap in AI demand cannot be filled, and the tight HBM capacity situation will persist beyond 2026, providing strong support for Micron's pricing power and profit margins in the coming years. When UBS sets a target price of $1,625 and suggests Micron's market cap could hit $1.8 trillion, the signal from Wall Street is very clear: AI storage is no longer an accessory but a core infrastructure of the AI era.

In the wave of AI storage led by Micron, Gate will continue to focus on major structural opportunities in the semiconductor and related digital industries, providing investors with in-depth industry insights and timely information updates.
