## Resource

Micron stock surged over 15 percent this week, hitting an all-time high above $1,130. In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack why the memory chip maker has become an unexpected beneficiary of the AI boom. They dive into the shift from training to inference, the critical role of high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and how Micron's bet on HBM3E gave it a lead over Samsung and SK Hynix. They also discuss the broader semiconductor landscape, including why TSMC and ASML are also up, and what it means for investors. Specific numbers: Micron's data center revenue now 70 percent of total, and HBM market expected to grow at 40 percent CAGR through 2030. A focused look at one company's pivot that changed its trajectory. #Micron #ArtificialIntelligence #Semiconductors #HBM #MemoryChips #AIInference #DataCenters #StockMarket #Investing #Technology #TSMC #ASML #Broadcom #NVIDIA #ChipStocks #Earnings #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
