Micron has more than tripled in 2026. Deutsche Bank says the rally isn’t over
Micron Technology has considerable room left to run as the company positions itself to benefit from a memory shortage amid the artificial intelligence boom, according to Deutsche Bank. The bank has a buy on the semiconductor name. It hiked its price target to $1,500 from $1,000, implying 47% upside from Tuesday’s close. “We see strong upward bias to our estimates given management’s intra-quarter commentary around its financial outlook strengthening, continuous strength in memory pricing, and the company’s historical tendency to beat Street revenue estimates,” analyst Melissa Weathers said Tuesday in a note to clients. Shares of Micron have surged 258% in the year to date, fueled by a memory supply crunch worsened by widening AI adoption. It’s a trend that should continue for the next few years, boosting the semiconductor firm’s stock, according to Deutsche Bank.

The bank projects memory-related tailwinds will help boost revenue to $35.1 billion for the third quarter of the current fiscal year, or above the $33.5 billion expected by Micron. The company is slated to report its third-quarter results on June 24. Deutsche Bank’s call falls in line with consensus on the Street.
