Fake news and FUD

Hello everyone, so as I think we all can agree last Thursday and Friday were quite brutal. I know stocks like MU, SNDK, Kioxia, Hynix etc... are very volatile, but still 25% in 2 days is pretty brutal.

Having that in mind I have been reading a lot of news lately (mainly from Bloomberg) which are straight up FUD. No real basis in their claims and actually straight up false claims. Such as Meta renting their computing (which they won't really be doing and which brought NBIS down a lot) and now false claims about Nvidia which Nvidia has already denied all of them (that news brought down Korean market yesterday).

I'm curious to see if you guys know more about this and generally your thoughts. Do you think institutions are spreading FUD before another leg up?

Anyone buying at these levels ?

Honest question. My average is 550 but I kind of feel momentum has slowed in the AI circles somehow. What are people doing now ? Drop your strategy.

This sub has more lowkey bears than bulls in it

If you don’t believe in HBM then just sell and fuck off lmao

Not hard.

Believe what you wish, I stay a bull because the fundamentals and growth projection of the company is great.

MU vs WDC/STX valuation makes no sense

​

The market is completely mis-scaling the AI memory/storage basket.

From my broker screen today:

MU forward P/E: around 7

WDC forward P/E: around 40

STX forward P/E: around 38

All three are up massively YTD, but MU is still treated like an old-school cyclical memory stock, while WDC/STX get premium AI infrastructure multiples.

That makes no sense to me.

I’m not saying WDC or STX are bad. AI storage demand is real. But AI memory demand is just as real, and MU is directly exposed to the AI memory bottleneck through DRAM/HBM/data center memory.

So why is the market saying:

“MU = cyclical = discount”

but

“WDC/STX = AI infrastructure = premium multiple”?

This looks like lazy basket trading, not proper relative valuation.

If MU keeps delivering earnings and guidance, forward P/E around 7 while related AI storage names trade near 40 looks ridiculous.

Micron and Ford sign strategic agreement to strengthen long term memory supply and industry resilience.

Micron and Ford sign strategic agreement to strengthen long term memory supply and industry resilience.

08:30 Jul 06 EDT

Micron Technology and Ford Motor Company have officially announced a long-term Strategic Customer Agreement. This move follows a very similar partnership Micron locked in with General Motors (GM) just a few days ago, highlighting a broader trend of automakers securing their supply chains amidst a massive, AI-driven global memory chip shortage.

Here are the key details of the agreement:

What the Deal Entails

  • Guaranteed Supply: Micron will provide Ford with a secure, long-term supply of advanced automotive memory and storage solutions for its next-generation vehicle lineups.
  • Extended Product Lifecycles: Unlike smartphones or PCs, vehicles remain on the road and in production for a very long time. Micron is expanding its production capacity specifically to support Ford’s long-term product lifecycles, ensuring parts remain available for years to come.

U.S.-Based Manufacturing Focus

  • A major pillar of this agreement centers around Micron’s fabrication plant in Manassas, Virginia.
  • Micron has invested roughly $2 billion into modernizing this facility and scaling up domestic DRAM production. Ford CEO Jim Farley explicitly praised this move, noting that a resilient, U.S.-based semiconductor supply chain is vital for the mass production of future vehicles.

The Bigger Picture

Modern vehicles are essentially high-performance computers on wheels, requiring massive amounts of memory to power Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), on-board AI, and massive infotainment setups.

This contract is part of a broader strategy by Micron; during their recent 2026 earnings call, the company noted they have signed 16 of these long-term strategic customer agreements to lock in volume and pricing predictability in a fiercely competitive market.

This can have both real fundamentals and also be a meme stock. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's probably enormous opportunity.

Most meme stocks are built upon real businesses who just happened to get hijacked by reddit or whatever to have preposterous valuations and insane 10x ebbs and flows.

Since MU has both insane (borderline memetically absurd) fundamentals and also actual meme/mainstream hype/FUD, patient traders (or long term investors) basically can just have infinite entries and exits with extreme volatility combined with the safety of baseline fundamentals. That's a unicorn stock fellas.

All that is required to profit huge with MU using either trading style (range trading or long term investing) is big balls and calm resolve.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I top blasted $MU and here's what I think

$MU is my first stock investment and I didn't see this whole memory opportunity early enough, unfortunately I only discovered Micron at the top, post Q2 earnings, but I was sold and still am comfortable despite being in a loss and here's why:

JUSTIFICATION 1

Soon after I top blasted, someone posted a prediction on X "There has been a significant breakthrough in architecture - specifically around memory efficiency - not by one of the big labs, but by a team that was spun out of OpenAI (not SSI). They will probably announce it soon.". I see my $MU shares dump and I panic but I soon discover Jevons Paradox which nullifies this rumour even if it came into fruition.

The Jevons Paradox is an economic phenomenon where technological progress that increases the efficiency of resource usage ultimately leads to higher overall consumption of that resource, rather than lower. Because efficiency reduces the "effective price" of performing a task, it encourages greater demand.

JUSTIFICATION 2

I am convinced this latest dump can be associated with an end of month, end of quarter and 6 month rebalance, deleveraging that compounded from leverage flushes on Kopsi, and I am aware on previous blowout earnings reported by Micron the stock has dumped 30% and recovered and again I am predicting history repeats itself here.

JUSTIFICATION 3

Trump has also thanked Micron today and last week he has called Micron an incredible company and we all know Trump is never a top signal as we've seen with $INTC, $DELL, $IBM and probably a few others I don't know about.

JUSTIFICATION 4

And from what I understand the $250m donation to Trump accounts by Micron was a chess play just to certainly ensure Apple are never authorised to buy illegal Chinese CMXT chips.

JUSTIFICATION 5

Microsoft has also today laid off 2.5% of their jobs to fund more AI capex so the whole FUD behind capex being cut potentially doesn't make sense to me in this present time.

JUSTIFICATION 6

And the Meta fud about Zuckerberg selling compute was him expressing the optionality of being able to sell compute if they overbuilt, somewhat justifying why they are okay even if they overspend on AI capex, and this infers it is not just unlikely AI capex cuts from hyperscalers are coming soon but in fact they are expressing their interest in wanting to spend more, and at the end of the day they are in an existential race to win the AI race.

JUSTIFICATION 7

I don't know how reliable bank and wall street analyst price predictions are but they again have all theirs in the $1.4-2k range.

Today Citi has added an "upside 90-day catalyst watch" with a $1.4k price target which again just screams bullish to me.

I am merely a retail trader and Micron is my first stock purchase at $1,100 it does seem like a comfortable hold with DRAM shortage expected to continue until 2029 on top of all the other reasons Micron is a great company but the reasons I included in this post are my reasons why I will be holding through this blood. I would love to hear everyone's thoughts and any other bull justifications or whether any of my justifications don't make sense.

Thanks!

Micron Stock Selloff Is a Buying Opportunity, UBS Analyst Says

Barrons: Micron and its memory-chip peers have suffered a small dent in the past week, after racking up huge gains in recent months. That’s a chance to get in on the memory surge, according to UBS analyst Nicolas Gaudois.

Micron shares have fallen 14% in the past five trading sessions, although the stock was up 3.3% to $1,007.26 in Monday’s premarket, along with the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite, and the iShares Semiconductor ETF.There was no clear reason for the selloff beyond nervousness around the wider technology sector. Micron has become a volatile stock with a nearly 700% gain in the past 12 months.

However, Barron’s has previously argued it could double from its current levels as booming memory demand driven by artificial-intelligence hardware moves it beyond its normal boom-and-bust cycle.

UBS analyst Gaudois is broadly in agreement, with a price target of $1,625 on the stock. He argues the pullback is “likely temporary.”

“Fundamentals remain strong, with the memory industry set to generate close to $1.2 trillion of FCF [free cash flow] in 2027E. We believe this will ultimately lead to a step-up in returns to shareholders,” Gaudois wrote in a research note.

Soaring memory chip prices are powering those returns. UBS now estimates that prices for double data rate (DDR) memory are set to rise 32% in the third quarter of this year from the previous quarter, with a further 18% rise in the fourth quarter.

“We continue to forecast the dynamic random access memory industry to be undersupplied until at least 2Q28 [the second quarter of 2028]. The gap between bit demand growth in 2027 (+36.2% YoY) and supply (+19.3%) is too wide to close by then,” Gaudois wrote.

Buy the pullback in chip stocks, JPM’s Matejka says

Investing.com -- JPMorgan strategist Mislav Matejka said the recent weakness in semiconductor stocks should be used as a buying opportunity, while flagging that broader market participation is set to widen in the second half of 2026 as stagflation fears unwind.

“The risks of renewed flareups remain, but we believe one should keep using any dips on the back of adverse geopolitical headlines in order to add,” wrote Matejka.

Matejka told clients in a note on Monday that the firm’s pecking order for technology positioning is "semis over hyperscalers over AI at risk plays," adding that "the latest weakness in SOX and in Korea will be used as an opportunity to add, as semis upcycle is not peaking anytime soon, meaningful supply is not likely to arrive before 2028."

On the Magnificent Seven, Matejka was more cautious, saying earnings and valuation tailwinds remain but that the group is "likely to see derating continuing on monetization fears." 

JPMorgan said it stays “fundamentally bearish on AI cannibalisation trades," including software, business services and media, though it acknowledged tactical bounces are likely when the group becomes oversold.

The strategist believes the unwinding of the Iran conflict’s market impact is a key catalyst for the second half, arguing that oil prices, inflation expectations, bond yields and central bank rate projections "could all reverse their upmove that was seen during Q2."

At the broader market level, JPMorgan said it looks for fresh highs in global equities in the second half, supported by a strong earnings outlook, easing inflation pressures and lighter investor positioning. 

Matejka added that AI is "unlikely to be the only story in town in 2H," with small caps, cyclicals and international markets all expected to benefit from a broadening in market participation.

UBS projects tighter memory supply and stronger pricing through 2028 for SanDisk and broader memory sector

Here is a breakdown of the recent UBS report detailing the prolonged supply squeeze and price hikes in the memory sector through 2028, along with contextual links.

The Core Catalyst: The "AI Vacuum"

The primary reason behind the tight supply is the massive shift toward High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and enterprise-grade server storage required by AI hyperscalers. Production capacity that previously went toward consumer DRAM and NAND flash is being aggressively redirected to feed AI data center clusters.

UBS Forecast Adjustments (2026–2028)

UBS significantly raised its sequential pricing expectations for the latter half of 2026, anticipating that the broader market will struggle to keep up with demand over the next two years.

Pricing Squeeze Details

  • DDR Memory (DRAM): UBS raised its Q3 2026 price growth expectation to 32% quarter-over-quarter (up from its previous 17% forecast). Q4 2026 prices are projected to rise an additional 18%.
  • NAND Flash (Storage): Driven by heavy demand for enterprise solid-state drives (SSDs), UBS lifted its Q3 2026 projection to 30% quarter-over-quarter (up from 17%).

The Long-Term Imbalance

UBS expects the DRAM market to stay strictly undersupplied until at least the second quarter of 2028.

  • The 2027 Supply Gap: In 2027, UBS expects global memory demand to jump by 36.2%, while total manufacturer supply is projected to grow by just 19.3%.
  • This represents a historic 17-percentage-point demand-supply gap, a metric UBS notes is unprecedented in the past 30 years of memory cycles.
  • Total Industry Revenues: Spurred by these aggressive price hikes, UBS projects overall memory industry revenue to climb toward $992 billion in 2026 and reach an astronomical $1.76 trillion in 2027.

What This Means for Major Suppliers

Because hyperscale cloud providers are desperate to secure guaranteed allocations, companies like Micron and Western Digital (which owns the SanDisk brand) have been entering into long-term supply agreements with partially fixed, premium pricing.

This structural shift protects memory manufacturers from typical economic volatility and has driven major institutional upgrades and price target bumps across Wall Street for storage stocks.

SK Hynix on Nasdaq July 10. Do you buy the ADR or just stick with Micron?

$SKHY starts trading July 10. For most U.S. investors this is the first time you can buy SK Hynix in dollars without going through a Korean brokerage.

The interesting tension: SK Hynix arguably has better HBM exposure than Micron right now, but $MU has always traded at a higher forward multiple. Once both are sitting on Nasdaq side by side, that valuation gap becomes a lot harder to ignore.

So the question is whether you play the direct ADR, stick with Micron as the easier U.S. proxy, or just buy $SMH and let the ETF sort it out.

What's the move?
