On May 27, Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X ETF rose 9.59% in regular trading, trading at $767.0/share, with trading volume of $1.403 billion. The leveraged ETF tracking Micron Technology surged as multiple Wall Street banks issued dramatically higher price targets for the underlying stock.
UBS raised Micron's target price from $535 to $1,625, the highest on Wall Street, while Barclays lifted its target from $675 to $1,175, both maintaining buy-equivalent ratings. The core thesis centers on a structural shift in the memory industry: enhanced Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) featuring 3-5 year durations with partially fixed pricing frameworks. According to UBS, hyperscalers have secured approximately 60%-70% of industry Server DDR5 volumes under these agreements, providing smoother earnings visibility and higher cross-cycle returns for memory suppliers.
Micron itself surged over 17% the prior session, breaching a $1 trillion market cap for the first time, as Micron's CEO warned that AI-driven demand is causing persistent memory shortages. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index gained over 5% in the session, reflecting broad strength across chip stocks.
