Shares of Micron (NASDAQ:MU) surged over 16% in pre-market today after the chipmaker issued stronger-than-expected guidance for the current quarter, driven by rising demand for its memory chips used in artificial intelligence applications. Micron reported adjusted fourth-quarter earnings of $1.18 per share on revenue of $7.75 billion, surpassing analysts’ expectations, which had forecast earnings of $1.11 per share on revenue of $7.65 billion.
