Shares of Micron Technology surged 16% after UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri raised Micron's price target from $535 to $1,625, citing durable AI-driven demand and long-term memory supply agreements. This upgrade sparked gains across the memory sector, with SanDisk up 7% and Western Digital up 9%, reflecting strong AI-era storage demand.

However, the memory market's historic cyclicality and rising short interest suggest caution, with upcoming earnings reports key to validating this bullish outlook.
