The PHLX Semiconductor Index has soared 41% in the past month and 150% over the past year, with memory chip stocks like Micron, Sandisk, and SK Hynix posting gains between 300% and 3,000%.
Analysts highlight that such rapid price increases are 'textbook parabolic price action,' raising concerns about a potential bubble despite some stocks still trading at reasonable valuations based on earnings.
