Extended read
Micron Technology experienced an 84% gain in May, pushing its market capitalization past $1 trillion, driven by strong demand for AI-related memory chips. This surge is part of a broader AI-fueled bull market. Hedge fund manager Gavin Baker has articulated a view that memory chips, including those from Micron and SanDisk, are currently undervalued within the AI sector. He argues that optical stocks, such as Lumentum and Coherent, are overvalued based on their current multiple expansion. This perspective suggests a potential for capital reallocation within the AI supply chain, favoring memory chip manufacturers if the AI cycle continues to drive uniform growth across components.
