What Happened?

Micron (MU) stock jumped after Melius Research initiated coverage with a buy rating and a $700 price target.

• Analyst Ben Reitzes set that as a two-year target, implying 41% upside from current levels.
• Melius also initiated coverage on Sandisk with a buy rating and a $1,350 price target, representing 36% upside.
• The core thesis is straightforward.
• Melius believes memory is central to the AI investment cycle. The firm expects AI-driven demand for HBM, DRAM, and NAND to stay unusually durable through the end of the decade.
• That’s a longer runway than most investors have been pricing in.

The timing fits. Micron’s own earnings call painted a similar picture.

• Management said demand from AI data centers far exceeds available supply and that gap isn’t closing anytime soon.
• Their HBM and DRAM capacity is sold out through 2026, and new fabs won’t meaningfully add supply until fiscal 2028.
• That kind of supply tightness tends to support both pricing and margins.

Micron stock has already had a strong run, up 567% over the past year. But Melius and other analysts argue the fundamentals still support more upside.

• Revenue grew 85.6% over the last twelve months, reaching $58.1 billion.
• Gross margins hit 58.4%.

Other firms are also raising targets.

• Lynx Equity bumped its target to $825, citing extended capacity sell-outs.
• UBS raised its target to $535, pointing to stronger DRAM and NAND pricing.
• KeyBanc holds an Overweight with a $600 target, flagging new long-term supply agreements with hyperscale customers that include pricing floors and upfront payments.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Micron Stock

Micron stock is getting a lot of analyst attention for good reason.

The AI memory cycle is real, supply is genuinely constrained, and Micron’s product portfolio is well-positioned, especially in HBM4, where early yield ramps are tracking ahead of expectations.

The risk is that Micron stock has already priced in a lot of good news. A slowdown in AI infrastructure spending or faster-than-expected supply additions could change the story quickly.
