Wall St ends mixed as tech megacap losses outweigh upbeat chip outlook

<body><p>STORY: U.S. stocks ended mixed on Thursday, with the Dow ticking up more than a tenth of a percent, while the S&P 500 closed flat and the Nasdaq dropped nearly half a percent.</p><p>Technology shares reversed early gains to move lower, as investors worried about hyperscaler spending on AI and who foots the bill.</p><p>:: Micron</p><p>Those fears outweighed upbeat signals on AI demand from Micron, which gained nearly 16%, while shares of Sandisk soared 22%.</p><p>Brian Mulberry, chief market strategist at Zacks Investment Management, notes that it's memory chip makers that are now leading the charge.&nbsp;</p><p>"What's different about Micron, SanDisk, Western Digital, those types of names that are doing so well is that they're memory chips. And you have to have memory, specifically DRAM or H-band memory, if you're going to have enough computing power to do all the computations. That is nothing if you don't have memory to transfer it from one place to another. So one of the reasons that these stocks have done so well and the growth at Micron is so solid is because a recent redesign in the server technology means we go from eight memory chips per server to 96. That's 12 times growth in demand for this one simple component."</p><p>The surging prices of memory and storage chips prompted Apple on Thursday to hike prices for its iPads and MacBooks.

AI boom keeps memory chip makers in sweet spot, says expert

<body><p>STORY: Micron said on Wednesday customers such as Nvidia had committed $22 billion to lock in supplies of memory chips, playing up huge growth in five-year "take-or-pay" deals that require clients to either buy its chips or hand over cash.</p><p>The comments underscore the growing importance of memory chips in the artificial intelligence supply chain, where demand has surged alongside the need for greater computing power.</p><p>"What's different about Micron, SanDisk, Western Digital, those types of names that are doing so well, is that they're memory chips. You have to have memory specifically DRAM or H-band memory if you're going to have enough computing power to do all the computations. That is nothing If you don't have memory to transfer it from one place to another," said Mulberry.</p><p>That dynamic has helped fuel investor interest in memory-chip makers, particularly as AI-related demand continues to outpace available supply.</p><p>"So if I'm looking at sales trading at five times, but the demand went up by 12 times, this is actually still a good buying opportunity for a company like Micron."</p></body>
