Extended read
Micron's fiscal Q3 results serve as a critical data point for the AI bull case. The 17% revenue beat was driven by surging demand for high-bandwidth memory in AI data centers. The company's move to lock in 20-33% of its volume through 2030 via strategic agreements with price floors suggests a structural shift in the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry. This 'blowout' quarter sets a high bar for other semiconductor players like TSM and NVDA. The inclusion of price ceiling/floor bands in contracts is a novel approach to managing the historically volatile memory market.
