Micron shares are in free fall this week. - Be Micron. - Get excited about Sam Altman singing letters “intending” to buy 40% of DRAM. - Close your entire Crucial consumer memory division so you can sell gamer RAM to OpenAI. - Sam Altman loses investors, never buys the RAM he signed letters for. - Google announces breakthrough saving AI 6x the RAM. - Micron now stuck with all this RAM and no way more division to sell to consumers.


The 1 month performance of Memory Stocks: Truly smoked $MU $WDC $SNDK SK Hynix High Valuations matter especially in this environment. It will be punished even if the fundamentals are intact.


The iron law of memory cycles: shortage → price spike → overinvestment → oversupply → price collapse


I see a lot of retail panicking over $MU earnings at $468. In general, re-pricing in stocks happen before earnings are announced. The exception is "unless there's a major surprise with guidance". Micron earnings beat was not a major surprise. Here's my take: - Jan 25th 2026: Public news broke out Samsung was doubling NAND prices Q1, DRAM ~70% compared to Q/Q estimates of 33-38%. Institutions probably got word a few days early from 300 paid vendor analysis, which is why $MU went from $300 -> $400. - Back in early March: News broke out Samsung was doubling NAND prices for Q2, which was a major surprise, beating some estimates by 20 times, while beating others by 5 times. There was also news that Samsung/SK Hynix were planning large DRAM price increases for the next quarter. However, this was coupled with index dropping/broader macro fears from the Ukraine war. While there was a major sell-off in majority of names, these fundamental changes, likely led $MU to outperform names like $MU that dropped 20% YTD. Leading up to earnings, there was a Bloomberg terminal report projecting Micron to beat earnings, which sent the stock from $400's to $460. The thing is: Majority of this earnings beat was known in advanced and priced in throughout the entire year. If you ever read my posts, - I've been trying to track DRAM/NAND prices along with estimating hyperscaler demand: - Tracking to track crude/LNG/Helium disruption on semi supply chains and modeling in any margin impact Which is how you price in memory companies. -> Earnings are just confirmation that your estimates before were right. So if you're buying options on the earnings week: This is a terrible idea. All the profit to be made is before information is known and priced in by the broader market.




This is a smart strategy. Thanks to President Trump, the U.S. is energy independent. The countries that actually depend on Gulf oil should apply pressure to reopen the strait.
