HBM4 ramp reaches >$10B annual revenue. "Ramageddon" RAM price surge (up to 500% price increases) sustains through 2026. AI server demand creates structural memory shortage. Micron captures 30%+ HBM share from Samsung/SK Hynix. Trailing PE compresses toward 18× on earnings growth.
30% probability

HBM and DRAM pricing remains elevated but normalizes from peak. Micron maintains solid execution in AI datacenter supply. Revenue grows 25-30% in FY2026 (ending Aug). Trades at 20-22× trailing earnings.

🟢 Bull Case
$300
+28%
Agentic AI confirms CPUs are the new GPU — Intel's blowout proves it. ARM royalty rates per chip increase as premium Armv9 IP adoption widens. FQ4 2026 beats $1.47B guidance. Qualcomm litigation resolved favorably. ARM enters chip manufacturing and re-rates as hardware + IP business.
25% probability
🔵 Base Case
$200
-15%
Revenue grows 18-20% YoY, royalty rates expand modestly. 121.7× fwd P/E is hard to justify without a step-change. Stock consolidates post-INTC catalyst; Morgan Stanley's Equal-Weight (downgrade from OW with $150 target) proves prescient in the near term.
50% probability
🔴 Bear Case
$130
-45%
Qualcomm litigation escalates. RISC-V gains meaningful traction as open-source alternative to ARM architecture. 97.5% gross margin masks a thin revenue base of only $4.67B TTM — too small to justify $249B market cap. Multiple compresses from 122× to 60×.
