Micron Technology sees AI‑driven boom, $10 bn investment surge and short‑selling amid volatile stock

Micron Technology AI memory demand $10 billion investment stock volatility Michael Burry short

Micron Technology’s shares surged 304 % through the end of June 2026 before falling about 20 % after a sharp July sell‑off. The company, which makes both DRAM and NAND memory chips, is benefitting from soaring demand for AI‑driven data‑center infrastructure, prompting analysts to project 247 % revenue growth for fiscal 2026 and 84 % growth for fiscal 2027.

Micron announced it will invest more than $10 billion in fiscal 2027 to expand high‑bandwidth‑memory (HBM) and DRAM capacity. Average twelve‑month analyst price targets sit around $1,569 per share (range $1,100‑$2,200), with some forecasts as high as $1,875. On July 30, famed investor Michael Burry added a short position on Micron at $880 after the stock rallied 16 % on the day Samsung posted record earnings.
