Micron (MU) stock exploded higher after UBS dramatically raised its price target from $535 to $1,625 — the highest on Wall Street. The stock surged as much as 14-19% during the day, briefly pushing Micron’s market cap above $1 trillion for the first time ever.
Micron Technology (MU) stock is surging by as much as nearly 14% on Tuesday after UBS raised its price target on the memory chipmaker to a Wall Street-high view of $1,625 from its previous forecast of $535.
Micron topped a $1 trillion market value for the first time on Tuesday as shares popped 18%, driven by insatiable artificial intelligence demand for its memory chips. The stock surge came as UBS tripled its price target on the stock from $535 to $1,625 a share, citing long-term agreement opportunities with partially fixed pricing. “We believe the market will start to put a more ‘normal’ multiple on the stock and MU will continue to re-rate higher as more details emerge about the structural changes AI has driven to the entire memory complex,” the firm wrote. The new price target suggests shares could more than double from Friday’s close.
