A new investment sector, dubbed "Memi" (memory semiconductors), is significantly impacting global stock markets due to the immense demand from AI development. Major memory chip manufacturers like Micron Technology, SK Hynix, and Samsung are experiencing substantial market capitalization growth, with Micron's stock up 240% year-to-date. This surge is driven by the critical need for DRAM chips to train AI models, a demand that is expected to continue due to supply constraints projected until 2028. The "Memi" sector's performance is influencing various market segments, including small-cap and emerging market funds, and has led to the creation of the first memory ETF, DRAM. AI
