Wolfe Research outlined three main reasons for their positive outlook. First, they noted that Micron’s recent positive preannouncement indicates continued strength in pricing, despite concerns about potential demand pull-forward. Second, if Samsung qualifies for High Bandwidth Memory 4 (HBM4) in 2026, Wolfe Research believes SK Hynix, not Micron, would likely lose market share. Third, while Samsung’s entry into advanced HBM could pressure pricing, Wolfe expects Micron’s HBM4 gross margins to remain above the company’s corporate average.

Wolfe Research highlighted a significant opportunity for Micron in 2027 due to the Rubin Ultra’s increased HBM content, which offers “4x content per chip and 2x content per GPU.” They noted that industry capacity is not yet sufficient to meet this demand.

Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) designs and manufactures memory and storage products, including DRAM and NAND flash memory. It operates advanced fabrication facilities across the United States, with major investments in Idaho, New York, and Virginia to expand domestic chip production. The company supports critical US sectors, including AI, automotive, and defense, through high-performance memory solutions.
