  • Alphabet's Google Boosts Memory Chip Demand, Favoring Micron, Sandisk, Seagate Stocks
    April 11, 2026, 10:14 AM EDT. Alphabet's Google unveiled TurboQuant, a compression technology for large language models (LLMs) aimed at reducing memory costs without accuracy loss. Despite initial investor concerns causing shares of memory chip makers Micron Technology, Sandisk, and Seagate Technology to dip, experts suggest TurboQuant will actually increase demand for memory. The exponential growth in LLM parameters means AI models keep expanding, requiring more memory. TurboQuant could enable training of larger models more efficiently, potentially lowering costs and driving long-term AI usage growth. This scenario positions Micron, Sandisk, and Seagate as potential winners, with their stocks trading at attractive valuations amid rising AI hardware needs.
