MU rides on soaring AI-driven HBM demand, with 2025 supply sold out and next-gen products fueling growth momentum.
I reiterate my strong buy rating on Micron. HBM is still the main pillar of my case, as I believe it is the single biggest growth engine. HBM supply sold out for 2025. HBM revenue up ~50% q/q and shipping includes the MI355X, which is ramping. HBM4 sampling now, with a ramp next year. Valuation supports my strong buy on MU stock, in my view: ~16.5x next year's EPS vs ~29.8x industry median. P/CF down sharply from 2024, suggesting undervaluation.

Micron's run-up got interrupted by the Edgewater Research report, putting a big fat warning about memory growth next year. While there is merit to the report, particularly the NAND weakness highlighted, the concerns about HBM are overblown by current visibility. DRAM, particularly HBM, has more moat to support upside, more so as ASIC-related HBM kicks in, estimated to surge +80% next year.
