Thanks For The Memories

I. Micron and the AI Trade

Memory has become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI spending boom. Micron’s stock, for example, is up 273.2% ytd, second only to SanDisk among the semiconductor companies. We have been bullish on memory, and Micron’s fiscal Q4-2026 results reinforced our view. Revenue surged 379% y/y to a record $54.2 billion, above the $50.8 billion consensus. Adjusted EPS of $33.42 topped management’s guidance range. Gross margins widened to 87% as DRAM and NAND prices surged.
