Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) stock climbed about 2% Friday morning, shrugging off a cautious note on its high-bandwidth memory (HBM) outlook.

Semianalysis cut its forecast for Micron's share of Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) next-generation HBM4 chips to zero. The research firm cited performance concerns and now expects SK Hynix and Samsung to supply the bulk of the memory.

Despite this, Micron was initially boosted by Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) $200 billion capital expenditure plan for 2026. Analysts see the spending as a potential driver for demand in memory chips across data centers.

HBM memory is a key component for advanced AI processors. Losing Nvidia's HBM4 orders may limit Micron's growth in the high-margin AI segment. However, broader market demand could offset some of the impact.

Shares of Nvidia rose more than 6% on expectations for strong AI chip adoption, while Amazon slipped about 8% following its capital-intensive forecast.

Investors are watching how Micron balances AI memory opportunities with ongoing market pressures, including competition from SK Hynix and Samsung.
