Micron Surges to $1.4 Trillion Valuation, Overtakes Meta and Tesla in AI-Fuelled Rally
Micron Technology has climbed to a historic market valuation of $1.398 trillion, briefly surpassing Meta Platforms and edging close to Tesla, as a strong revenue outlook and surging demand for AI memory chips fuel a dramatic rally in the semiconductor sector.
The chipmaker’s shares jumped 18.4% to $1,236, lifting its market capitalisation to record levels and reinforcing its position as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the global artificial intelligence investment boom.
At its peak, Micron’s valuation exceeded Meta’s $1.392 trillion and momentarily approached Tesla’s $1.4 trillion, highlighting the rapid reordering of market leadership driven by AI-linked growth expectations.
The surge follows the company’s upbeat fourth-quarter revenue and profit forecast, announced on Wednesday, which helped reverse a recent downturn in its share price. Investors reacted strongly to news that customers have committed approximately $22 billion to secure long-term supplies of memory chips.
The development underscores intensifying demand for high-performance memory infrastructure, which is becoming increasingly critical for powering artificial intelligence systems, cloud computing platforms, and advanced data centres.
Micron’s rise above the $1 trillion valuation mark on May 26 marked a key milestone in its transformation into a central player in the AI supply chain. That milestone came shortly after South Korea’s Samsung Electronics also joined the trillion-dollar club, further signalling the growing dominance of semiconductor firms in global equity markets.
