    Thesis

    As the consensus view solidifies around Nvidia's central role in AI, investors are now looking at second-order effects and the valuation of adjacent segments like memory and networking. — bullish pressure on MU via increasing focus on memory as a critical part of the AI system.

    Hedge fund manager Gavin Baker identifies a valuation inefficiency in AI stocks, arguing that memory chips (Micron, SanDisk) and Nvidia are undervalued.
