Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 68 days.
The thesis — published July 9, 2025
Micron is coming out of a long slump right as powerful AI computers and new phones need far more advanced memory chips than the industry can supply. Chip prices have already jumped by double digits, and bosses say profit margins should turn positive by August, a point that has often marked the start of long upswings. Analysts lifted their 2026 profit forecasts by 12% in a month and a major bank upgrade on July 9 backed the stronger outlook. After a small 4% price dip, the share now sits in a low-risk zone for what could be a three-month climb to new highs, helped by orders that are already locked in through 2026.
Primary drivers
- All top-tier memory chips Micron can make until 2026 are pre-sold, boosting prices
- July 9 broker upgrade points to much stronger demand across the whole memory market
- Trading volume four times normal shows big funds are still buying heavily
- Analysts lifted profit estimates by 12% in a month, pushing the share value higher
