Micron Technology (MU) once again reminded Wall Street why it remains one of the biggest beneficiaries of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. After concerns emerged that China's new open-weight AI model, Kimi K3, could curb AI infrastructure spending, Bank of America reached the opposite conclusion.
Earlier this week, the firm reiterated its “Buy” rating and $1,550 price target on Micron stock, arguing that more efficient AI models could actually drive substantially higher demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), DDR5, and NAND storage. The bank sees roughly 65% potential upside from current levels. BofA believes Micron could be one of the biggest long-term winners of the next phase of the AI boom.
