Micron’s AI-fueled Rally Faces Inevitable Reversion to Mean

TL;DR Summary
The analysis argues Micron’s current stock surge reflects a temporary, cyclical memory-demand spike driven by AI, not lasting growth. As memory capacity expands, margins and earnings are likely to retrace, making MU overvalued versus secular growers with recurring revenues (e.g., data-center REITs like Equinix) and utilities. The piece highlights how capacity expansions have historically crushed cyclical highs, and Micron’s own capex plan will boost supply further, supporting a return to equilibrium rather than permanent gains. Investors should rotate from MU’s immediate-revenue burst to companies with durable, recurring revenue.
