Micron Technology's stock has soared 156.59% year to date, fueled by AI-driven demand for memory chips, which CEO Sanjay Mehrotra calls a structural shift. Despite a recent 8.91% pullback, the company reported strong Q3 guidance with revenue exceeding last year's full fiscal year, signaling robust earnings growth. Analysts remain mostly bullish, though some see current valuations as high. To reach $1,000 per share by 2027, Micron needs continued supply constraints, successful ramp-up of new memory products, and upward revisions of earnings estimates. Risks include potential demand slowdowns if AI investment pauses.
