Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 21 days.
The thesis — published October 16, 2025
Demand for memory used in AI is still strong. A big chip maker just reported much higher profits, showing companies keep spending on AI gear, which should help Micron's high-end memory and newer DDR5 products sell at better prices. Recent average price is rising, trading activity is healthy, and buyers keep stepping in on dips. In the next 0-3 months, better product mix and pricing could push the uptrend to continue.
Primary drivers
- TSMC's strong results point to ongoing heavy AI spending across customers
- Shift toward HBM and DDR5 lifts average selling prices and margins
- Recent average price is rising, with strong trading activity
- Buyers keep stepping in on dips even as some slower signals lag
