Micron Technology's stock surged 5.07% in pre-market trading on Monday, marking a significant rebound as the memory chipmaker looks to break a recent losing streak.
The move follows news that Micron, along with other major memory manufacturers, has halted in-house development of CXL (Compute Express Link) controllers, opting instead to source these components from specialized chip design firms. This strategic shift allows Micron to reduce R&D costs and focus resources on its core memory business, which is experiencing robust demand driven by the AI server transition.
Additionally, continued optimism surrounding high-bandwidth memory (HBM) demand for artificial intelligence applications, coupled with Micron's strategic customer agreements in the automotive sector using take-or-pay models, has bolstered investor confidence. Analysts maintain positive outlooks, with KeyBanc recently reiterating an Overweight rating and $1,750 price target on the stock.
