On Tuesday, the second most actively traded stock by value, Micron Technology (MU), closed up 2.20% with trading volume reaching $47.582 billion.
In its latest research report, Deutsche Bank significantly raised its price target for Micron Technology from $1000 to $1500, while maintaining a "Buy" rating. Based on Micron's closing price of $1020.76 at the end of Tuesday's session, this new target implies a potential upside of approximately 47%.
So far this year, Micron's share price has surged by about 260%. The primary driver behind this rally is the rapid adoption of AI applications, which has exacerbated a shortage in memory chip supply. Another US memory chip company, SanDisk, has seen its stock price skyrocket by roughly 730% this year.
