  • TD Cowen's Krish Sankar Raises Micron Stock Price Target to $660 Amid AI-Driven Memory Demand
    April 29, 2026, 2:19 PM EDT. TD Cowen analyst Krish Sankar, a top-ranked chip expert, raised his Micron Technology (MU) price target from $550 to $660, a 20% increase reflecting strong confidence in the AI memory chip market. Micron shares have surged 129% in six months, vastly outperforming the S&P 500. The durability of this rally is tied to long-term supply agreements with robust gross margin protections, supporting sustained growth beyond immediate earnings. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra emphasized memory's strategic role in the AI era during Q2 2026 earnings. Sankar's outlook highlights a shift from cyclical boom-bust patterns to a more stable memory cycle buoyed by AI demand, suggesting investors should consider long-term trends driving Micron's valuation.
