AI boom fuels memory stocks rally; Jim Cramer sees more gains ahead despite big run-ups

Jim Cramer highlighted that the AI boom has transformed the memory chip industry, supporting strong profits amid soaring demand and disciplined supply. Despite huge rallies this year—Sandisk up 653%, Seagate 261%, Micron 254%, Western Digital 211%—Cramer believes it's not too late to invest, citing long-term customer agreements and share buybacks as signs of a healthier cycle. He sees potential for further gains, especially in Micron, as the memory shortage continues and companies avoid past overbuilding mistakes. While acknowledging risks of a future slowdown, Cramer advises investors not to miss out on this opportunity.
