SK hynix Vs. Micron: The Memory Trade Isn't Done Rotating

Summary SK hynix Inc. remains favored over Micron Technology, Inc. in the memory trade, with a compelling valuation gap and strong up-cycle positioning. The pair trade - long SKHY, short MY - benefits from SK hynix’s HBM leadership, buyback catalyst, and exposure to scarcity-driven pricing upside through 2027. Micron’s capped upside from contract structures and heavier NAND/DRAM exposure faces headwinds from stabilizing NAND prices and rising Chinese supply. Investors should stay light ahead of Micron’s September 30 results, monitoring for guidance shifts or contract structure changes that could alter the trade’s risk-reward.

Sandisk And The NAND Stabilization Test

Summary Sandisk Corporation's major upcoming test will be preserving and attempting to increase its earnings power as potentially NAND supply stabilizes and pricing becomes less favorable. Multi-year New Business Model agreements covering about half of projected fiscal 2027 bit shipments and roughly two-thirds of fiscal 2028 bits could reduce SNDK’s exposure to the NAND cycle. Growing enterprise SSD demand from AI inference, combined with Sandisk’s UltraQLC, BiCS9, BiCS10, and High Bandwidth Flash initiatives, could support a higher-value product mix and lower costs per bit. While acknowledging risks, I rate SNDK stock a cautious Buy, as the company has unique tools for this stage of the cycle, including increased exposure to AI inference.

AAPL: AI Reset And Foldables Will Test Pricing Power And Margins

Apple's analyst fair value estimate has been lifted by about $7 to roughly $326, as analysts factor in slightly higher assumed future P/E multiples around $35.7, modestly softer margin and growth assumptions tied to memory cost pressure, and product launch pricing that aims to support iPhone and foldable Duo volumes without aggressive hikes. Analyst Commentary Recent research on Apple highlights a split view around the latest product launch, pricing decisions, and the impact of higher memory and component costs.

Microsoft: Big Tech Winner Still On Sale

Summary Microsoft is rated a buy, supported by strong Azure growth, Copilot adoption, and a valuation discount to historical averages. Azure revenue surged 43% with demand outpacing supply; guidance calls for further acceleration to 45% growth next quarter. Copilot reached 30 million paying seats, up 50% quarter-over-quarter, and is positioned as a core AI orchestration layer for enterprises. Despite OpenAI partnership risks, MSFT's broad-based demand, integrated AI strategy, and discounted PEG present a compelling entry point. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

The Memory Shortage Is Lam's Order Book — Whether It Persists Or Resolves

The story behind this stock Lam Research is the position I hold to be right about the AI memory bottleneck without having to be right about how long it lasts. That sentence is the entire thesis, so it's worth unpacking.
