Micron Technology (MU US) US$948.80
Micron is Samsung's closest US-listed peer, as one of only three companies globally, alongside Samsung and SK Hynix, that manufactures DRAM and NAND memory at scale. Both compete for the same AI-driven customers, including Nvidia and the hyperscalers, with demand for HBM, DDR5 and NAND driving earnings. Unlike broader semiconductor names such as Intel or Qualcomm, Micron is a pure-play memory business, making it the best listed proxy for Samsung's highly profitable Device Solutions division, which is easier to buy than the Korean stocks for most of us.
