Direxion Daily MU Bull 2X Shares (MUU) surged 5.04% intraday on Wednesday, reflecting strong bullish momentum.
The leveraged ETF's rally was driven by a wave of bullish analyst upgrades on Micron Technology, which it tracks. Citi nearly doubled its target price for Micron from $425 to $840, maintaining a Buy rating, citing expectations that DRAM average selling prices will surge approximately 200% year-over-year in 2026 as AI demand pushes the memory industry into a historic super cycle. HSBC simultaneously raised its Micron target from $750 to $1,100.
Additionally, Samsung Electronics workers confirmed a strike action, further tightening industry supply. Analysts noted that SK Hynix and Micron cannot quickly fill Samsung's capacity gap, potentially intensifying the supply-demand imbalance in both HBM and conventional DRAM markets through 2027.
