Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) climbed in Tuesday premarket trading as investors continued moving into AI infrastructure stocks on expectations of stronger memory-chip demand. The move followed upbeat AI signals from NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), which recently reported first-quarter revenue growth of 85%, issued strong second-quarter guidance, approved an additional $80 billion share buyback, and raised its quarterly dividend. Micron also said its Manassas, Virginia, facility has started manufacturing 1α (1-alpha) DRAM memory chips, described by the company as the most advanced memory production currently operating in the United States. The project is part of Micron’s broader $200 billion plan to expand semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. According to the article, Micron’s projects in Virginia, Idaho, and New York are expected to create roughly 90,000 jobs. The next major catalyst is the estimated June 24, 2026 earnings report, with EPS estimated at $19.11 and revenue estimated at $33.60 billion. MU shares were up 6.26% at $798.01 during Tuesday premarket trading, near the stock’s 52-week high of $818.67, according to Benzinga Pro data cited in the article.
