(Reuters) -Micron Technology shares surged roughly 14% in after-hours trading after the memory maker forecast higher than expected first-quarter revenue due to the thirst for its memory chips used in artificial intelligence computing.
Micron is one of the only three providers of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips along with South Korea's SK Hynix and Samsung, which has allowed the U.S. firm to cash in on demand for semiconductors that help power generative AI technology.
