The Weebit Nano Ltd (ASX: WBT) share price is rocketing today. Shares in the semiconductor player are up 8.76%, trading at $1.80 at the time of writing.

Let's take a look at the latest Weebit share price action.

What's happened today?

There have been no market sensitive announcements today that apply specifically to Weebit.

The share price has been a gainer following a key announcement on 25 June, where the company confirmed it had successfully demonstrated the integration of a selector with ReRAM, for the standalone memory market.

Since this event, shares have walked their way northwards by 12.6%, gaining as much as 20% the day after the announcement alone.

Regarding the milestone, Weebit CEO Coby Hanoch stated:

This achievement demonstrates our commitment to addressing the discrete memory market as part of our mid-term strategy. We see a broad range of opportunities for discrete ReRAM, from NOR flash to storage class memory, in a range of segments.

Given our 2024 target for a discrete solution, we anticipate that other opportunities will arise as well. We will continue to share our progress in meeting this mid-term goal, while we continue our near-term focus on the embedded memory module where we are making good progress.
