Why Are Micron, SanDisk, and SK Hynix Stocks Rising in Premarket Today After Friday’s Chip Rout?

Micron (MU), SanDisk (SNDK), and SK Hynix (SKHY) stocks rose in premarket trading. Bank of America named Micron its top pick with a $1,550 target. Oil prices fell, easing inflation concerns. Friday's sell-off was due to AI spending concerns and Intel's weak guidance. SanDisk reported strong Q1 results and guidance. Analysts expect memory demand to remain strong.
