# MU Stock Alert: BMO Names Micron a Top AI Memory Play With $1,300 Price Target

Micron Technology received an Outperform rating and a $1,300 price target from BMO Capital as the firm began coverage of the memory-chip maker alongside other semiconductor companies.

BMO's view centers on Micron's exposure to artificial intelligence infrastructure. The firm expects demand for high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, to remain a key factor as data-center operators expand AI computing capacity.

The analysts also pointed to industry supply and demand conditions that could support higher pricing across DRAM and NAND memory products. Micron's long-term customer agreements may provide additional visibility into future business levels, according to BMO.

The broader coverage reflects BMO's positive stance on AI-related semiconductor demand and an anticipated recovery across parts of the analog market. Micron stands out within that view because memory content has become increasingly important to AI systems.

The $1,300 target provides a new valuation reference for investors following Micron as the company navigates tight memory markets and continued spending on AI infrastructure.

BMO's Outperform rating and $1,300 target suggest the firm expects AI-driven memory demand to support further upside.
