Micron Lands Ford Deal, UBS Forecasts 30%+ Memory Price Hikes
MU has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $103.38.
Summary
Micron secured a long-term deal to supply Ford with automotive memory and storage, which will expand its auto-focused capacity and make automotive contracts approximately 40% of its business. This significant strategic partnership diversifies revenue and secures a major growth segment. UBS simultaneously raised its 2026 memory price outlook, forecasting substantial increases: DDR up 32% in Q3 and 18% in Q4, and NAND up around 30% in Q3. This reinforces the strong market conditions, with UBS expecting demand to outpace supply into 2027-28, building on Micron's recent record financial results and sold-out HBM supply.
