Micron beats on earnings and issues strong guidance as data center revenue jumps 11-fold
Micron's stock has skyrocketed over 500% in the past year, driven by a global shortage of memory chips needed for AI models and workloads, which has led to a surge in demand for the company's products, making it a hot commodity in the tech world.
The shortage has caused a significant spike in memory costs, resulting in higher prices for consumer electronics like Apple's iPads and MacBooks, and Micron is reaping the benefits with record-breaking earnings, including a 343% increase in DRAM revenue.
Micron is investing a whopping $250 billion to build two new campuses for making high-bandwidth memory, which is crucial for AI infrastructure, and its market cap has topped $1.2 trillion, making it a major player in the industry with a strong roadmap for future growth.
