Micron Technology (MU.O) edged past the ​market valuation of Meta ‌Platforms (META.O) for the first time on ​Thursday, after the ​memory chipmaker's solid forecast ⁠helped extend its ​AI-driven ascent.

The company's ​shares were last up 18.5 per cent at $1,244.4, giving it ​a market capitalisation ​of $1.393 trillion, compared with Meta's $1.391 ‌trillion.

Micron's fourth-quarter ⁠revenue and profit forecasts on Wednesday helped shares reverse ​a ​recent ⁠slump, with the company disclosing ​its customers ​had ⁠committed $22 billion to lock in supplies of ⁠memory ​chips.
