Deutsche Bank raised Micron’s price target to $500, citing a 40% year-over-year surge in high-bandwidth memory orders from AI data centers that should boost fiscal 2026 revenue by 15%. Micron shares have climbed over 300% in the past year, outperforming major DRAM and flash competitors.
1. Deutsche Bank Raises Price Target to $500
Deutsche Bank analysts lifted their Micron price objective to $500, highlighting a more than 40% year-over-year increase in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) orders for AI and data-center projects. The firm projects this HBM strength will drive a 15% rise in Micron’s fiscal 2026 revenue, elevating profit margins as AI workloads expand.
2. Micron’s Stock Up Over 300% in Past Year
Micron shares have surged over 300% in the last twelve months, outpacing peers in both DRAM and NAND flash markets. This rally reflects robust demand for AI-optimized memory and positions Micron as a hidden leader in next-generation data-center hardware.
3. AI and Data-Center Demand Drives Outlook
Continued expansion of AI applications and server upgrades is expected to sustain high-bandwidth memory growth into 2026. Analysts forecast that Micron’s increasing HBM market share and ongoing capacity investments will underpin further revenue gains and strengthen its competitive standing.
