Micron Technology reported that revenue more than quadrupled in its fiscal third quarter, driven by surging demand for memory chips tied to the artificial intelligence boom.
The memory maker’s results underscore the continued strength of the AI infrastructure build-out, even as broader semiconductor stocks faced pressure earlier in the week.
The company’s shares rose in Wednesday trading, recovering from a sharp 13% slump on Tuesday when Micron fell to $1,055 amid a wider sell-off in the chip sector.

Investors had grown concerned that the rally in high-flying technology names was losing momentum, but the robust earnings print provided a counter-narrative to the recent risk-off sentiment.
The revenue surge highlights the structural shift in memory markets, where high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and other AI-optimized products are commanding premium pricing.
This dynamic has allowed Micron to capitalize on the data-center expansion cycle, distinguishing its performance from peers facing more cyclical headwinds.
