Strong price upside from transmissible pricing power in DRAM/NAND, plus HBM-driven margin expansion and a sizable buyback catalyst post-CHIPS Act anniversary, historically associated with meaningful re-rating when memory cycles tighten.

AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

JPMorgan’s Harlan Sur expects Micron to confirm strong memory pricing in Q4, boosting revenue, margins, and free cash flow. He notes DRAM/NAND prices up ~20% QoQ, ongoing HBM4 ramp, and robust data-center demand supporting above-consensus guidance for Q4 and the November quarter. A CHIPS Act milestone drives a planned 100% excess cash buyback, potentially unlocking upside through calendar 2027.

  • JPMorgan keeps MU overweight with a $1,540目标, citing strong pricing upside.
  • DRAM and NAND ASP expected to rise ~20% QoQ; HBM4 ramp supports margins.
  • Data-center revenue >$100B annualized; DC-SSD revenue likely >$5B.
  • Q4 and Nov guidance likely above consensus; FCF >$24B; CHIPS Act buybacks catalyst.
  • MU down ~3.9% to $1,040.18 despite bullish setup.
