Wall Street is calling Micron the next Nvidia.
Story
TechCrunch on investors piling into the memory maker, betting that high-bandwidth-memory demand from AI accelerators makes it a structural winner. The thesis reframes the hardware trade beyond GPUs toward the memory bottleneck that actually gates training and inference throughput. I don't trade stocks here, but the architectural point stands: memory bandwidth, not raw compute, is increasingly the constraint.
