MERIDIAN: Micron's cheap valuation despite growing profits signals that the memory chips behind AI servers are still in high demand, so ordinary people can expect AI tools and smarter devices to keep getting more capable without prices jumping as fast. This dip might actually speed up the rollout of that tech in everyday life.
