Micron Technology (MU) Shares Up 241% Amid AI Demand Growth

Micron Technology (MU) has seen its stock price surge by 241% in 2026, making it the second-highest gainer in the Nasdaq-100. The growth is attributed to unprecedented demand for advanced memory in AI data centers, leading to substantial pricing power for Micron's DRAM, NAND, and HBM products. Analysts predict Micron's EPS to reach $73.32 for the current fiscal year and $149.64 for the next fiscal year, driven by a structural expansion rather than cyclical trends in the memory market. This outlook positions Micron for potential stock prices of $2,000 or more within the next year.
