BTCCSquare news:

Micron Technology and Sandisk opened 2026 with explosive gains, climbing 7.76% and 10.39% respectively in premarket trading. The rebound followed a brief New Year’s Eve dip that saw Micron shed 2.5%, suggesting institutional buyers are capitalizing on temporary weakness.

Bernstein’s bullish $330 price target for Micron—up from $270—reflects expectations of 20-25% quarterly DRAM price growth. Data center demand for flash-based SSDs continues to accelerate as AI workloads outpace traditional storage solutions. Sandisk’s 559% surge since its Western Digital spinoff at $36/share now positions it among 2025’s top performers.

The memory sector’s momentum appears self-sustaining: Micron’s 239% annual returns ranked second in the S&P 500, while the MOVE index confirms 2025 gains were demand-driven rather than speculative. Storage stocks now trade as proxies for AI infrastructure buildouts.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
