Micron’s AI memory boom could push MU stock higher
Micron Technology is riding AI-driven demand for memory, especially HBM chips used with Nvidia/AMD GPUs; data-center revenue surged and management sees strong near-term growth, with Q2 revenue forecast up about 132% year over year to $18.7 billion and earnings of roughly $8.19 per share. The CEO says the data-center HBM market could top $100 billion by 2028, underpinning continued profit growth as AI workloads expand into smartphones and PCs. After a 239% rally in 2025 and further gains in early 2026, MU trades at a forward P/E around 12.2, implying potential upside if AI demand remains robust, though the semiconductor cycle remains cyclical and upside may temper.
