Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 15 days.
The thesis — published October 12, 2025
Memory demand is picking up again, helped by AI chips that need high-end HBM and DRAM. Recent price trends point to buyers gaining the upper hand, and the recent average price is climbing. Morgan Stanley raised its view to Overweight with a $220 target, and the stock still looks cheaper than peers, which supports more upside. Headlines about trade could swing the price, but better pricing and factory use could lift shares toward prior highs in 0-3 months.
Primary drivers
- Prices for HBM and DRAM are improving, likely lifting revenue and margins
- More buyers than sellers lately, with a rising recent average price
- Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock and set a $220 target on 10-11
- Shares look cheaper than similar companies, leaving room for a higher value
