Samsung's 40,000-person strike countdown ends in 8 days; retail investors predict Micron will reach $1,300.

Samsung Electronics faces a strike involving 40,000 employees starting May 21 after labor negotiations broke down. This has led to increased interest in Micron Technology, which is expected to benefit from the disruption, with retail investors predicting its stock could reach $1,300. Micron's stock has surged 140% recently, driven by its unique position as a US-based supplier of memory chips. Analysts warn that the strike could significantly impact global memory chip production and Samsung's profits, with potential losses reaching $671 million per day.
