Alphabet's AI Shift Could Power Micron's Memory Sales

Alphabet’s AI-driven algorithm changes are described as a 'gift' for Micron, potentially boosting memory-chip demand, while MU’s aggressive CapEx—including a $200B U.S. mega-factory—supports AI-driven supply; MU posted strong FYQ2 2026 results (EPS $12.20, revenue $23.86B, DRAM/NAND up ~206%/169%), and trades at a meaningful discount to peers on EV/Sales and EV/EBITDA, indicating a potential upside.

Sony Hikes PS5 Prices as AI-Driven Chip Costs Bite

Sony is raising PS5 prices globally (US: Standard $649.99, Digital $599.99, Pro $899.99) and the PS Portal to $249.99, citing higher memory-chip costs driven by AI infrastructure; Europe and Japan will follow. The move comes as helium supply risks from the Iran-Qatar conflict threaten chip production, and analysts say the price hikes could dampen console demand this year.

Google TurboQuant Sparks Memory-Stock Pullback, Analysts Urge Buying the Dip

Micron (MU) and SanDisk (SNDK) slid in pre-market trading after Google unveiled TurboQuant, an AI-memory compression tech that could reduce memory demand; MU fell about 7% and SNDK about 11%, with peers WDC and STX also down as the sector weighs potential weaker DRAM/NAND demand. Analysts are split on the impact: KC Rajkumar sees limited 3–5 year demand destruction and maintains a MU price target around $700, while Andrew Rocha cautions that AI memory needs could shrink demand if adoption is rapid. TipRanks data suggest MU has the strongest upside among major memory names, making the recent drop a potential buying opportunity for some investors.

Asia stocks steady as Iran de-escalation keeps week muted

Asian equities trimmed early losses after Trump postponed strikes on Iran, easing risk sentiment but leaving markets cautious about a protracted conflict. Korea’s KOSPI slipped and is headed for a deep weekly loss amid a memory-chip rout, while China and Japan posted small gains. U.S. futures tick higher, yet overall weekly gains across the region are expected to be muted as Iran tensions linger.

Memory giant SK Hynix eyes US listing to fund AI-fueled capacity boom

SK Hynix disclosed a confidential SEC filing for a potential U.S. listing via American Depositary Receipts within 2026, aiming to raise about $6.7–$10 billion to fund capacity expansion amid surging AI-driven memory demand. Details on size, method and timing aren’t finalized and will be disclosed later or within six months. The company is pursuing major capex, including new Korean fabs and U.S. packaging facilities, and recently placed a large ASML equipment order as it rides an “unprecedented growth” in the memory market.

Micron Poised for Strong Q2 as AI-Driven Memory Demand Surges

Micron Technology is set to report its Q2 FY26 results on March 18; analysts expect EPS of $8.74 and revenue of about $19.03 billion, signaling a 460% YoY EPS surge and 136% revenue rise driven by demand for high-bandwidth memory and DRAM in data centers supporting AI workloads. The stock has climbed roughly 42% this year amid tight supply and rising memory prices. Micron recently acquired Powerchip’s P5 plant in Taiwan to expand DRAM/HBM production with shipments expected in fiscal 2028. Bullish commentary from Wedbush and Wells Fargo has lifted price targets to $500 and $470, respectively, and the consensus remains Strong Buy, with options implying about a 10.6% move post-earnings.

Micron Faces HBM4 Shift as Nvidia's Vera Rubin Draws Supply From Rivals

Micron, a key Nvidia memory supplier, could lose share as Nvidia's Vera Rubin reportedly sources HBM4 from SK Hynix and Samsung, sidelining Micron in the AI data-center memory supply; while demand for Micron's other memory chips may persist and memory prices could rise on persistent shortages, the hit may be temporary as Vera Rubin ramps.

Xiaomi Unveils 17 Series Amid Record Memory-Chip Costs

Xiaomi launched the 17 and 17 Ultra at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, pricing them at €999 and €1,499 as memory-chip costs surge 80–90% on AI/data-center demand. Analysts warn higher component costs could lift smartphone prices in 2026 and dampen mid-range demand, though premium devices may be more insulated. The broader market is expected to shrink, while Xiaomi expands its EV business, which now accounts for about a quarter of sales; smartphone revenue fell about 3% year over year in the latest quarter, even as EV sales surged.

RAM Crunch Hits Steam Deck OLED Availability, Valve Warns

Valve says the Steam Deck OLED may be intermittently unavailable in some regions due to a RAM shortage, with US and Japan stockouts cited. After earlier delays tied to memory and storage constraints, Valve still plans to ship the Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR headset, and Steam Controller in early 2026 but remains cautious about component availability and pricing. The RAM crisis is affecting the wider tech industry, fueling talk of potential PS6 delays into 2028–2029 and price pressures for Nintendo.

AI-Fueled Memory Rally: Micron Stock Set to Extend Its Run

Micron Technology’s stock is forecast to extend its rally as AI data-center demand drives memory-chip sales (HBM, server DRAM, and DDR5). The company posted FY25 sales of $37.38 billion with earnings strength expected to continue, as FY26/FY27 EPS are revised higher (around $33.22 and $44.95). With a long-running Zacks Rank #1 and shares up more than 40% in 2026 after a sharp rise last year, MU trades near 12x forward earnings, suggesting further upside if AI demand remains durable.

Memory chips spark 2026 sales surge among top tech stocks

MarketWatch identifies 20 of 82 large-cap tech names with the fastest projected 2026 sales growth, led by Sandisk (SNDK) at about 131% and Micron (MU) at 65.5%; Palantir (PLTR), Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO) and others follow, with Palantir guiding to roughly 61% revenue growth in 2026 per its earnings, and Wedbush calling Palantir a top tech pick. The trend skews toward hardware and AI-related winners as Google and Amazon lift capex for chipmakers, while several names trade at lower forward P/Es than the IT sector despite higher earnings forecasts. Overall, the 2026 sales growth for these names far surpasses the S&P 500 information-technology sector’s expected ~17% sales growth for the year.
