Micron Technology, Inc. (MU): A Bull Case Theory

We came across a bullish thesis on Micron Technology, Inc. on Rijnberk InvestInsights’s Substack by Daan | InvestInsights. In this article, we will summarize the bulls’ thesis on MU. Micron Technology, Inc.'s share was trading at $114.39 as of July 18^th. MU’s trailing and forward P/E were 20.61 and 9.40 respectively according to Yahoo Finance.

Micron Technology, a leading U.S.-based memory semiconductor producer, remains a controversial investment. As one of three global DRAM and NAND giants, it benefits from scale, process leadership, and high barriers to entry but operates in a deeply cyclical, commodity-like market, deterring many long-term investors.

DRAM, its largest segment (≈70% of revenue), has gained market share to ~25% amid early DDR5/LPDDR5X adoption, node leadership (1αnm/1βnm), and a pivot to AI, automotive, and industrial applications. NAND (≈30% of revenue) remains more challenged, with Micron holding ~11–12% share, behind Samsung and SK Hynix.

Its fastest-growing business, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), is critical for AI workloads; Micron’s HBM3E/4 products lead in power and capacity, with 2025 output sold out and share expected to reach 20–25% by year-end. Integrated manufacturing, U.S.-heavy production, and diversification limit geopolitical risk.

Financially, Micron is rebounding sharply: Q3 FY25 revenue grew 37% YoY to $9.3B, gross margin hit 39%, EPS surged >200% YoY, and free cash flow reached $1.9B despite $2.7B in capex. Management guides Q4 revenue up 15% sequentially to $10.7B and EPS of $2.50, with DRAM and HBM driving mid-teens bit growth.

Structural AI, data center, and automotive demand should sustain a low-double-digit CAGR through cycles. Valuation remains attractive at ~10x FY26 earnings, with a PEG of ~0.4x.For investors with a 5–10 year horizon and a tolerance for 30–50% drawdowns, Micron offers exposure to secular AI-driven growth. Shares near $125 could deliver mid-teens annualized returns, with upside if current execution persists.

Previously we covered a bullish thesis on Micron Technology, Inc. by Oliver | MMMT Wealth in April 2025, which highlighted its technological edge, secular AI-driven memory demand, and undervaluation as key drivers. The company's stock price has appreciated by approximately 69% since our coverage. This is because AI and data center tailwinds accelerated. The thesis still stands as structural demand persists. Daan | InvestInsights shares a similar but emphasizes on Micron’s HBM leadership and financial rebound.
