Micron's recent run and the memory chip supercycle

Micron's recent run and the memory chip supercycle

Micron is up 147% so far this year. It is trading like a momentum stock, but they have the numbers to back it up. Last quarter sales increased 196% and earnings went up 771%. Demand is high right now, with customers buying whatever memory chips are available regardless of price. Their gross profit margin is expected to be above 75% this year, compared to Nvidia at 71%. The main concern is what happens when this memory supercycle ends. Semiconductors are a historically cyclical industry, so competitors will eventually emerge to challenge those margins just like we are seeing in the AI chip space.

Micron’s numbers are insane right now, but memory cycles can flip fast. The big question is how long those margins stay this strong once supply catches up.

those margin numbers for Micron are wild especially compared to the big ai chip makers. it will be interesting to see how they handle the eventual competition.
