Micron: The AI Memory Shortage Has Spread Beyond HBM (NASDAQ:MU)

Micron Technology (MU) is rated Buy due to AI-driven memory shortages in DRAM and NAND, not just HBM. Demand from Dell and HPE, along with supply constraints, is expected to sustain elevated earnings until at least FY2028. Analysts project $215 EPS for FY2028, with a 7x multiple suggesting a $1,500 fair value.

Jim Cramer has strong message for Micron stock investors

Micron reported fiscal Q3 revenue of $41.46B, up 346% YoY, with non-GAAP EPS of $25.11, beating estimates. The company has $100B in AI contracts through 2030 and $22B in cash deposits from customers.
