Micron and SanDisk are both trading roughly 25 percent below their June highs after Samsung's shareholder return plan came in below what the market wanted. The mechanism is simple. Samsung's board approved 90 to 110 trillion won versus expectations closer to 140 trillion, and the immediate buyback tranche was smaller than SK Hynix's own program from earlier this month. None of that changes underlying DRAM and NAND demand. It changes sentiment around capital discipline in a sector that just had its best year in a decade. Micron is still up close to 190 percent for 2026, so this reads more like profit taking after an extreme move than a reversal of the AI storage thesis.

Everyone calling this a bear market after one bad week from Samsung. Feels early. SK Hynix and Nvidia reportedly locked in a multi year DRAM and HBM supply deal per an Edgewater note this week, which is not the kind of thing companies sign if they think demand is rolling over. Watching to see if this holds.

Bought MU around 780 back in May before this whole run. Watched it touch 1200 and did not sell a single share, which I regret a little now that it is back near 910. My rule going in was simple, trim a third if it doubles from my cost and hold the rest. It already doubled and I did not trim. Not adding more here either. If it breaks 850 I will reconsider, otherwise just sitting on it.

This is just rotation, not collapse. Investors are de-risking into $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) earnings and Jackson Hole. Memory news hurts $Micron Tech(MU.US)/$SKHYNIX, but helps China plays like Zhongji. Dip buyers show up after Wednesday.

Updating safety and preventive of accident mobile transport are always better if it saves lives in an emergency. The other good comfort or convenience functions are good to have.

What a great day celebrating the opening of the Micron Training Center in Boise. 🎉

Edgewater: Feedback suggests Nvidia likely signed a multi-year supply agreement for DRAM/HBM with SK Hynix and Micron. CY27 HBM pricing is not expected to be settled until late 2H26.

$SK Hynix(SKHY.US)SK hynix: The AI Memory Giant 🧠📈

Everyone talks about NVIDIA, but SK hynix is one of the companies powering the AI boom behind the scenes.

SK hynix is a global leader in HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) — critical memory used in advanced AI GPUs and data centres.

🔥 Why I’m watching SK hynix:

• HBM demand is exploding with AI infrastructure

• HBM4 is now entering mass production

• Strong partnership with NVIDIA

• Record-breaking profits and margins

• Huge investments in next-generation AI memory

• Major shareholder returns, including a massive buyback

The biggest opportunity isn’t just today’s AI boom — it’s the amount of memory future AI systems will require.

⚠️ Risks remain: memory is cyclical, competition from Samsung/Micron is intense, and AI spending could eventually slow.

But if AI continues expanding, SK hynix could be one of the biggest “picks and shovels” companies of the AI era.

AI needs compute.

Compute needs memory.

And SK hynix is right in the middle of it. 🚀

Context: Micron Technology Inc (MU) has transformed from a volatile commodity memory chip maker into a core pillar of the artificial intelligence supercycle, propelling its stock price up over 200% year-to-date. The company’s recent fiscal Q3 2026 earnings report was nothing short of a blockbuster, with revenue skyrocketing 346% year-over-year to $41.46 billion, driven by insatiable data center demand for High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Furthermore, Micron expanded its gross margins to a staggering 84.6% and secured $22 billion in upfront customer cash deposits via long-term take-or-pay agreements extending into 2028. While the company recently reclaimed the key $1,000 price level, it faces short-term pressure and mild pullbacks over broader macroeconomic inflation worries and high required capital expenditures.

My Trade: Despite concerns of a cyclical peak from cautious value investors, I am maintaining a long position on Micron Technology Inc (MU) by accumulating shares on the current technical dip below $1,000. Trading at an incredibly cheap valuation of roughly 6 times forward earnings, the risk-to-reward ratio remains highly asymmetric given that Wall Street’s consensus 12-month target sits near $1,500. The massive multi-year contracts lock in structural revenue security that past cycles lacked. My technical strategy involves using the 50-day moving average as a baseline support level, with a planned price target of $1,300 by early 2027 while keeping a strict stop-loss below the July low of $737 to mitigate potential downside.

Takeaway: The ultimate lesson here is that AI has structurally re-rated the chip market, turning memory into an elite, highly defended growth asset rather than a basic commodity. However, retail traders must remember that semiconductors carry an inherently high risk of sharp corrections, meaning capital allocation should always be sized within a diversified tech portfolio to insulate against total loss if supply gluts emerge.

Well as much as the narrative keeps pointing to yields and I agree yields are a sticky point and that is why the Feds are doing a ‘stealthy YCC’. (Look at what Bessent just added to what he said the day earlier. I mean he is hinting at YCC without saying it. Those who get the hint will plan accordingly. Those who are waiting for a clear cut announcement and definition will be behind the curve. Even crypto is hinting at something. Hint: They flourish with liquidity. And look at USD. It is devaluing in response. Price action precedes narratives.)

Again, I am just sharing my opinion. To the ‘textbookists’, let’s agree to disagree. Peace! 😊

Jackson hole is a key point but not sure what stuff Fed will say

Crypto was the buzz just when Trump took office and it took a bow and languished in the dark shadows for the most of the year. Now the president is back in action again to pump it up again such that funds have another avenue to rotate around, scything the retail FOMO hords.

AI infrastructure and semiconductor-related names such as SK Hynix, Micron and Lumentum continued to outperform, showing that investor demand for AI exposure remains strong despite concerns over higher capex and valuations.

Alibaba's results also highlighted this trend cloud and AI revenue surged, but profitability came under pressure as investment spending accelerated.

With Treasury yields rising again and Jackson Hole approaching, volatility could remain elevated in the near term

A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY.

📌 Last session supposed many 👀 at the hottest hits for this month. I also got it though few months ago was searching what to invest. If the prices came tumbling downward, I will also consider to buy more, not worrying about the short term swings as the purpose of it is indeed worth more meaning than just AI Era as we will see how it could further transformed in the medical sciences too, another TGIF hope to close it steadily to mark a good week! It is Friday baby! 👏🏻🆙📈🆒🆕💊💫🌟🌟

Interesting that the news are not quite reporting the surge in the crypto markets and the crypto related stocks. Shall see if the rally can be sustained.
