Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU) is trending up in extended hours on Wednesday after reporting market-beating earnings for its fiscal first quarter.

Micron issues upbeat guidance

Shareholders are happy because the management’s guidance for the current quarter topped Street estimates as well.

Micron now forecasts its revenue to come in at $5.3 billion in the second quarter. Analysts, in comparison, were at $4.97 billion. According to Delano Saporu of New Street Advisors:

I think the big driver in 2024 for Micron is going to be AI. There’s going to be a lot more demand and I think that’s why I’d be a buyer here.

In the earnings release, Sanjay Mehrotra – the Chief Executive of Micron Technology also said that the Boise-headquartered firm that makes memory chips is well positioned to capitalise on artificial intelligence related opportunities.

Micron Q1 earnings snapshot

I think some of that [tailwinds] is priced in but some of that is not priced in.
