Chipmaker Micron Technology (MU) is trading higher again on Tuesday morning.
This is happening one day after equities analyst Nomura had nearly doubled its target price from $55 to $100, bumping Micron’s stock price 9% higher to over $59.
There is also speculation that Micron may increasingly be viewed as a takeout target, which often involves paying a premium relative to market value.
