    Micron and Sandisk sign long-term memory contracts through 2030-2031

    Question

    Micron and Sandisk sign long-term memory contracts through 2030-2031

    Direct answer

    Locked pricing through 2030-2031 can stabilize DRAM and HBM margin expectations for MU, SNDK, and NVDA supply-chain assumptions. — bullish pressure on MU via long-term DRAM and HBM pricing into margin visibility.
