The memory cycle turned before anyone noticed

MU
Delayed

The thesis

Memory is the most honest cycle in semis — pricing tells you everything. Contract prices bottomed and started climbing while the equity kept de-rating.

What I'm watching

  • DRAM and NAND contract price direction
  • Supplier capex discipline holding
  • HBM allocation as a share of the mix

Positioning

Long, 1-3 quarters. Conviction: Medium. Memory cycles overshoot in both directions. Respect the volatility.

The second point is the one most people are going to skip over.

Priya Halloran·

Clearest framing of MU I've read this month.

Nora Aziz·

Are you expressing this in equity or options?

Kenji Aoyama·

Equity for now. I'll look at options if the vol comes in.

Mei Vasquez·

For anyone tracking this, the data drops Thursday pre-market.

Reasonable thesis but I think MU is priced for most of this already.
