America’s stock market continues to climb, but much of the momentum remains tied to the artificial intelligence boom, reported by CNN. Investor enthusiasm has been fueled by anticipated IPOs from major AI players such as Anthropic and OpenAI, alongside expanding investments in data centers and AI infrastructure.
The report said companies supplying memory chips and data storage solutions have emerged as some of Wall Street’s strongest performers. SanDisk has surged more than 600% this year, while Micron, Seagate and Western Digital have all gained over 200%, significantly outpacing the S&P 500’s 11% rise.

According to analysts cited by CNN, demand for AI-related memory and storage hardware continues to exceed supply, creating pricing power and boosting earnings expectations. Alphabet’s plan to raise $80 billion for AI infrastructure further highlights the scale of investment flowing into the sector.
Micron recently crossed a $1 trillion market valuation, while South Korean chipmakers Samsung and SK Hynix have also benefited from rising global demand. Analysts said strong earnings and continued AI expansion are helping justify the sector’s remarkable rally.
