  • Is It Too Late to Buy Micron Stock After Its Stellar Rally?
    May 19, 2026, 2:10 PM EDT. Micron Technology (MU) has surged nearly 7-fold in the past year, driven by soaring demand and prices for memory chips fueled by artificial intelligence growth. Quarterly revenue jumped from $4-8 billion pre-2025 to nearly $24 billion recently, with management forecasting $33.5 billion next quarter. The high prices reflect tight supply amid booming AI needs. Micron expects the high-bandwidth memory market to nearly triple by 2028, supporting sustained demand and expansion. Despite this, the chip market's cyclical nature keeps investor caution high.
