  • Micron hits record stock high ahead of June 24 earnings, driven by AI memory demand
    June 20, 2026, 2:52 PM EDT. Micron Technology's shares surged to an all-time high of $1,133.99 on June 18, up 8.7% amid a holiday-shortened week, fueled by mounting investor interest ahead of its June 24 fiscal Q3 earnings. The chipmaker's stock has soared 298% this year, reflecting strong expectations that AI-related data center spending will sustain demand and pricing gains for memory chips like DRAM, NAND, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM). Micron's revenue target for Q3 stands at $33.5 billion, with non-GAAP EPS projected at $19.15. Competitor SK Hynix is also advancing, shipping new 12-layer HBM4E chip samples that promise higher speed and efficiency, intensifying the race in the AI-server memory market.
