Micron’s AI-Driven Surge Faces Test as Insiders Cash Out
Micron Technology's stock (MU) has defied semiconductor market gravity with a 700% annual surge, closing at $746.79 on May 8, 2026. The rally stems from explosive demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips powering AI systems, with 2026 supply already sold out. Q2 revenue hit $23.9B (up 196% YoY) as gross margins expanded to 74%.
Wall Street remains bullish on MU's 2026 outlook, projecting $33.5B next-quarter revenue and 81% margins. Yet insider selling and valuation concerns loom. The stock now trades at 12x forward sales—triple its 5-year average—amid questions about sustainability of AI-driven growth premiums.
