Micron Stock Extends Rally On Pure Storage Partnership Amid Trump’s $20B US Data Center Push: Retail Bullish On Hyperscaler Ambitions

Shares of Micron Technology surged over 4% on Tuesday afternoon after the company announced new memory and storage products, alongside the expansion of its strategic collaboration with Pure Storage (PSTG) at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025.

This surge comes on the heels of a 10% increase in the stock's value on Monday – buoyed by Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang mentioning the company during his keynote speech – marking Micron's fourth consecutive day of gains.

It also helped that President-elect Donald Trump announced $20 billion in foreign investment to build new U.S. data centers on Tuesday.

Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani, a Trump associate and founder of the property development company DAMAC Properties, is pledging “at least” that amount, the president-elect said at his Florida home, Mar-a-Lago.

At CES, Micron announced its teaming up with Pure Storage to create faster and more reliable storage solutions using Micron's G9 QLC NAND technology for future DirectFlash Module products.

These new systems will use Micron's advanced memory technology to handle huge amounts of data efficiently, which the company said would be especially useful for hyperscalers with data-intensive workloads. 

At the same time, Micron has improved its line of memory and storage products for everyday users. This includes the launch of its high-speed Crucial P510 SSD, offering read and write speeds of up to 11,000/9,550 MB per second.
