Micron's AI Memory Boom Could Drive Long-Term Stock Gains

Micron Technology is riding a surge in AI‑driven demand for memory chips, boosting revenue, cash flow and buybacks. With a forward P/E around 11.5 and a projected $100 billion high‑bandwidth memory TAM by 2028, the stock trades at a material discount to growth peers, implying potential upside as AI data‑center spend remains robust. Yet memory is cyclical, so a long‑term horizon is prudent as buybacks reduce shares and earnings grow, even if near‑term growth moderates.
