MU's manufacturing push targets rising AI memory demand, with new DRAM and HBM capacity planned as supply constraints support growth.
Whether you're a value, growth, or momentum investor, finding strong stocks becomes easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a top feature of the Zacks Premium research service.
Tight DRAM supply, soaring HBM demand and long-term customer deals could fuel growth for MU through 2027 and beyond.
Micron, SanDisk and SK Hynix are sitting at the sharp end of Monday's AI sell-off as investors question one of the assumptions that made memory stocks the biggest winners of the infrastructure boom. Micron and SanDisk fell more than 5% in US premarket trading, while SK Hynix plunged 7.4%.
DRAM and NAND prices continued to hit record prices in August. The DRAM market continues to look supply-constrained.
Micron just posted the highest revenue guidance in its history while the shortage fueling its growth gets worse, yet Wall Street wiped out tens of billions in market cap anyway.
Three companies control the world's DRAM supply, AI is burning through memory faster than fabs can build it, and one of those three just signed contracts that could permanently rewire what a chip cycle looks like.
Micron has already stunned Wall Street with a historic surge, but a fresh competitive threat just knocked shares down and reignited the debate over whether the AI memory trade still has legs or has finally run out of road.
Micron Technology, Inc. remains a bullish opportunity ahead of Q4 earnings, with upside potential of ~32% to my price target. Fears of a cyclical memory peak are overblown; capacity constraints and persistent memory shortages should support elevated margins through 2030. Short-term MU catalysts include strong DRAM/NAND pricing, HBM4 revenue scaling, and favorable guidance for revenue and gross margin.
Micron Technology said on Friday its direct labour employees in Taiwan would receive total fiscal 2026 rewards equivalent to 35 to 68 months of pay, with minimum cash compensation of T$1.7 million ($53,809.39).
Micron just signed binding contracts covering years of memory supply at guaranteed floor prices, and analysts are pointing to a forward earnings multiple that makes the trillion-dollar valuation look cheap. The bear case, though, hinges on a single customer.
Memory stocks fell sharply on Thursday as a jump in oil prices intensified broader market concerns about inflation and higher interest rates, weighing on high-beta technology shares. Micron Technology MU and SanDisk each fell about 4%, while SK Hynix dropped more than 5%.
