On May 27, Micron Technology rose 4.56% overnight, trading at $942.21/share, with trading volume of $104 million. The gain extends the prior session's historic 19% surge that pushed the company's market capitalization above $1 trillion for the first time.
The continued momentum follows UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri raising Micron's target price from $535 to $1,625 — the highest on Wall Street — implying over 100% further upside and a potential market cap of approximately $1.8 trillion. The core thesis centers on AI-driven structural changes in the memory industry, particularly new enhanced long-term agreements (LTAs) with hyperscalers that feature fixed pricing frameworks, covering 60%-70% of Server DDR5 volumes. UBS argues these agreements will smooth earnings volatility, reduce cyclicality, and warrant a re-rating from cyclical to growth-stock valuation multiples.
Additionally, U.S. President Trump publicly endorsed the company at a rally, calling Micron \"really great,\" further fueling investor enthusiasm. The stock has gained approximately 210% year-to-date and set 28 closing records this year.
