Extended read
Micron's transition to high-bandwidth memory (HBM) for AI servers has fundamentally altered its margin profile. The 87% gross margin in the data center segment suggests that demand for AI-optimized memory is vastly outstripping supply. The $3 billion investment in U.S. supply chain infrastructure, including a $500 million loan to GlobalWafers, indicates Micron is securing its upstream supply to maintain this growth trajectory.
