Extended read
Micron Technology's latest earnings report has redefined the profitability expectations for the memory sector. With an 84% gross margin, Micron has effectively captured the pricing power previously held exclusively by logic chip designers like Nvidia. This outperformance is driven by the explosive demand for HBM, which is essential for AI training clusters. Management's guidance for 86% margins suggests that the supply-demand imbalance in high-end memory is intensifying, providing a significant tailwind for the stock even as the broader Nasdaq faces pressure.
