What happened:<\/strong> Micron (MU<\/a>) stock jumped Friday, putting the chipmaker on track for its seventh straight intraday record high, adding to its weekly gain of over 30%.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s behind the move:<\/strong> The rally is tied to the AI memory boom, where demand for high-bandwidth memory and other advanced chips has turned Micron into one of the market\u2019s biggest AI hardware winners. The stock is now up 120% since its March 30 low and nearly 1,000% from its April 8, 2025, post-\u201dLiberation Day\u201d low.<\/p>\n

By the numbers:<\/strong> Micron has hit 28 intraday records this year and added $437 billion in market value since March 20, lifting its valuation to roughly $800 billion.<\/p>\n

Micron is now the fourth-largest chip stock, behind Nvidia (NVDA<\/a>), TSMC (TSM<\/a>), and Broadcom (AVGO<\/a>). It ranks 13th in the S&P 500, behind JPMorgan Chase (JPM<\/a>) and ahead of AMD (AMD<\/a>). In the Nasdaq 100, it ranks 10th, just behind Walmart (WMT<\/a>) and ahead of AMD.<\/p>\n

Micron was not alone Friday. SanDisk (SNDK<\/a>), Applied Materials (AMAT<\/a>), ASML (ASML<\/a>), Intel (INTC<\/a>), AMD, and Nvidia also hit intraday records. Smaller names on that list, including MACOM Technology Solutions (MTSI<\/a>) and AXT (AXTI<\/a>), have each notched more than 30 intraday records this year.<\/p>\n

What else you need to know:<\/strong> The next key area is below the tape. Micron\u2019s old breakout zone around $465 to $470 is now the support area to watch. However, that\u2019s 34% below the current trading level.<\/p>\n
