- Geopoliticsneutrallong-termThe progress of China's CXMT and YMTC in domestic substitution, along with a sharp rise in global DRAM capex, has the market worried that supply catch-up will shorten the memory boom. However, traditional majors and advanced HBM have different technical barriers, and Chinese makers still have a long way to go to ship stably in volume and profit, so the risks cannot be generalized.Source
- AI Capexpositive for stockslong-termStill bullish on memory demand driven by AI data centers; the explosion in data volume creates strong demand for enterprise SSDs and other devices. Even if AI companies save on expensive HBM, demand shifts to other storage hardware, so the industry is not broadly weakening.Source
- Consumernegative for stocksmid-termConsumer-grade NAND faces considerable pressure; component price hikes cause brands to quietly reduce capacity configurations or extend procurement cycles, and inventory is slowly accumulating in the supply chain, clearly diverging from strong AI data center demand.Source
- MUbullishlong-termMicron is the preferred memory stock for scaling in; even if FY2027 earnings estimates are cut by 30%, the P/E is only around 8x, which is not dangerously valued. Its product lines (HBM, server memory, and SSD) can capture diversified AI data center demand, so he is willing to start taking risk and buying, while keeping some capital to watch subsequent earnings.Source
- OtherneutralBullish on SK Hynix's corporate prospects (strong HBM orders), but its US ADR currently trades at about a 35% premium to the underlying Korean shares, which would eat into future returns. Therefore, he chooses to wait until the premium narrows sharply or earnings surge makes the price reasonable.Source
- SNDKbullishlong-termSanDisk has fallen sharply but is not automatically cheaper than Micron; after cutting FY2027 earnings estimates by 30%, the P/E is close to 10x. He likes enterprise SSD demand (contract prices seen rising over 20% in Q4), but consumer NAND faces inventory and Chinese expansion pressure, so he only suggests a small tranche, waiting for product mix improvement before adding more.Source
