Micron stock to move following earnings, After the market closes on Wednesday, Micron Technology will release its earnings, and traders anticipate a significant shift in the memory chip manufacturer’s stock.
According to options pricing, traders anticipate that by the end of the week, Micron (MU) shares could move up to 9% in either way. At the high end, the stock would rise above $258, close to its all-time high from last week, with a move of that magnitude from Monday’s closing at $237.50.

Due to the increased demand for its memory chips, Micron, which produces memory components for top AI chipmakers like Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), has witnessed a sharp increase in revenue this year. Its stock has almost tripled in value in 2025, making it one of the S&P 500’s top-performing stocks thus far.
Micron is regarded as a major “pick-and-shovel” player in the AI industry because it provides memory to some of the largest AI chipmakers. Its position as one of the major beneficiaries of the AI surge this year would be reinforced by a solid earnings release this week and the market’s response to the results.
