Micron Technology (MU) is back in the market’s good graces, and the rally is gaining momentum. Shares climbed on May 19 as investors leaned into a strengthening memory-chip pricing cycle, even as the Nasdaq slipped and rising bond yields pressured growth stocks.
The bullish sentiment makes sense. MU stock has surged this year alongside booming AI-driven demand, and analysts expect DRAM prices to keep climbing. Earlier this month, Citi raised its price target on Micron to $840 from $425, citing expectations for DRAM prices to nearly triple next year.
