Micron stock soared on Thursday after the memory maker reported blockbuster third-quarter earnings as the artificial intelligence boom causes demand for memory to surge. Shares climbed as high as 19%, pushing Micron's market cap above Meta and Tesla among the most valuable U.S. companies. The stock later pared those gains. The company's revenue more than quadrupled from $9.3 billion a year earlier to $41.46 billion in its fiscal third quarter, it reported on Wednesday.
