Shares of technology companies rallied on optimism about chip stocks. Memory chip maker Micron rose 19% after analysts at brokerage UBS drastically increased price targets due to an anticipated jump-shift in revenue growth caused by artificial-intelligence demand. Even after Micron's torrid rally, which has brought it to the $1 trillion market capitalization level, the company's valuation based on forecasted earnings is relatively modest, said J.D.
