The chipmaker said AI memory orders are outpacing capacity as it plans $250 billion in new manufacturing campuses.
On Wednesday, Micron Technology reported better-than-expected quarterly results, forecasting first-quarter revenue of about $61.5 billion. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra signaled the AI-driven memory chip boom continues powering growth.
Soaring demand for AI infrastructure from Nvidia and AMD has driven Micron's stock up more than 500% in the past year. Micron remains the only US-based HBM maker amid a worldwide supply crunch.
Fourth-Quarter revenue quadrupled to $54.23 billion, as net income climbed to $37.7 billion. Although Micron holds the smallest HBM market share compared to Hynix and Samsung, market cap topped $1.2 trillion.
To meet surging demand, Micron is investing $250 billion to build two HBM campuses. The company broke ground in Clay, New York, in January, with its first Boise, Idaho fab scheduled to come online next year.
Mehrotra participated in an AI regulation summit with President Donald Trump on Tuesday, days after attending a White House dinner with Chinese President Jinping. These engagements underscore semiconductors' strategic importance.
