TechInsights: AI Memory Crunch to Hit '10 Out of 10' Craziness, DRAM Prices to Surge 200%
MU has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $118.52.
Summary
TechInsights CSO Dan Kim says the AI-driven memory crunch will intensify, rating current conditions 8/10 'craziness' and expecting 10/10 through at least end of 2027. The firm forecasts DRAM prices to rise more than 200% year over year, calling it historically unprecedented, with significant new supply not arriving until late 2027 or early 2028. High-bandwidth memory is effectively sold out, and shortages are spreading to automotive, medical-device, and other traditional customers. Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix dominate mainstream DRAM, and Micron is expanding capacity in Idaho. This follows Micron's record Q3 FY2026 results and Nvidia HBM4 certification, reinforcing the AI memory supercycle. The commentary supports continued pricing power and revenue growth for Micron, though the stock is already up 1.63% premarket.
