The results have prompted at least one prominent analyst to set a bold long-term price target of $1,750 for MU stock.
The company's AI-driven momentum reflects a broader industrywide shift as hyperscalers and cloud providers race to build out infrastructure capable of supporting large language models and next-generation workloads.
