One user argued that the chipmaker “doesn’t need to double to $2,000 for the split to matter,” since “post-split options volume explodes, retail participation rises, and the float psychologically expands.” > $MU doesn't need to double to $2,000 for the split to matter. Post-split options volume explodes, retail participation rises, and the float psychologically expands. The price tag changes; the thesis doesn't. > > — darkfillnz (@fillln1zn) September 27, 2026 A Reddit user pushed back on the split talk altogether, pointing out that **SanDisk Corp.** (NASDAQ:SNDK) is trading even higher at $1,729.76 and still hasn’t split its stock. One user predicted a split if they post earnings per share of $45. ## **Why Micron Stock Has Surged** Micron is one of three major memory chipmakers, along with South Korea’s **Samsung Electronics** and **SK Hynix Inc.** (NASDAQ:SKHY), and has been one of the best-performing stocks over the past year as a memory shortage has sent chip prices skyrocketing. The stock’s forward price-to-earnings ratio is 6.8, compared with the industry average of 37, according to Benzinga Pro. ## **Mega-Cap Splitters** **Nvidia Corp.** (NASDAQ:NVDA) did a 10-for-1 split in 2024 when its shares traded around $1,200, while Apple Inc.
