Micron Reclaims $1,000
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) shares rose to $1,043.96 after rebounding from a pullback below $1,000.
AI Memory Shortage Driver
Micron is the only U.S.-based memory manufacturer selling DRAM, NAND, and high-bandwidth memory across four segments.
HBM4 Ramping Faster
HBM4 12-high is ramping twice as fast as HBM3E 12-high, with next-generation nodes targeting volume production in calendar 2027.
Fiscal Q3 Performance
Fiscal Q3 revenue hit $41.46 billion, up 345.7% year over year, with gross margin of 84.9% and free cash flow of $18.3 billion.
Strategic Customer Agreements
Management signed 16 SCAs covering 20% of DRAM volume and a third of NAND volume with $100 billion in cumulative minimum revenue.
Bull Case for Buyers
The SCA framework provides floor pricing above prior peak margins, with forward earnings at 7x and visibility not priced in.
What Could Invalidate
A Q4 revenue miss, SCA economics walk-back, or hyperscaler capex reset could invalidate the bull case.
The short version
Micron's AI memory shortage demand and strategic customer agreements support its price rebound above $1,000.
