Context

Micron just closed a historic fiscal year 2026, completely rewriting its narrative from a cyclical memory player into a secular AI infrastructure powerhouse. The financials from its recent Q4 report are staggering:

• Exponential Top-Line Growth: Full-year revenue reached $133.19 billion, up 256.3% year-over-year. Q4 revenue alone hit $54.23 billion.

• Explosive Profitability: Full-year net income jumped nearly 900% to $84.97 billion ($74.33 EPS).

• Peak Pricing Power: Driven by data center demands for High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and premium DRAM, Q4 gross margins reached an unprecedented 87%.

My Trade

• The Setup: Despite “crushing” earnings and projecting an even stronger fiscal Q1 2027 ($61.5B revenue midpoint), the stock experienced a mild short-term pullback to $1,045.56 due to minor Wall Street anxieties surrounding long-term capital expenditure rises and peak gross margin metrics. Technical indicators reveal that an inverse head-and-shoulders breakout past $1,041 remains valid.

• Action Plan: Buy the Dip. I am accumulating a long position at the current support zone between $1,000 and $1,050.

• Execution Structure:

• Entry Triggers: Build a 70% core position at current prices ($1,045), and save 30% for emergency add-ons if it sweeps liquidity down to the psychological $1,000 floor.

Takeaway

The key takeaway is that the market is still mispricing the length and structural shift of this memory cycle. Traditional memory cycles bust when supply floods the market, but structural physical layout complexities for HBM4/HBM4E mean that newly constructed wafer fabs won’t bring massive supply online until late 2027 or 2028.

Trading at just 14x trailing earnings and a microscopic 6x forward P/E, the denominator (profits) easily supports the high share price. Micron isn’t just a trade; it’s a structural long-term hold for the duration of the physical AI infrastructure buildout.
