Micron's sold-out high-bandwidth memory through 2027+ and contracts already being signed for 2029-2030+ extend its earnings runway. At 5x forward earnings, it is cheaper than a year ago; its private Anthropic stake is about to be instantly rerated at Anthropic's IPO, and a new share buyback is expected to be announced Dec. 9. Micron could certainly gain 30% in three months. x.com x.comÂ
Micron's $900 floor now coincides with its biggest near-term put concentration. The October 16 options map shows about $21M in put bets at $900; buy only if that level holds or wait for a close back above $947. The target is $1,000 by October 30, with a daily close below $899.95 breaking support. x.comÂ
Buyers rushing into Micron's gap-down open show fear is still too limited for a sustainable low. They bought hand over fist, while the equity put/call ratio stood at 0.75; significantly more pain and fear are needed. x.com x.comÂ
Heavy put buying in Micron could set up a squeeze of bearish whales by market makers and a sharp rebound tomorrow or later this week. The puts closed in the red today; a cool CPI print tomorrow would add pressure on those buyers. The broader outlook can still be bearish, and this is a contrarian thought, not a trade alert. x.com x.com x.com x.comÂ
Demand for Micron's products is through the roof, making its revenue surge only the beginning as it heads into 2027. The attached eight-quarter chart puts Q4 FY26 revenue at $54.2 billion, and Micron's gross margin is cited at 86%. A $100 billion revenue quarter could arrive in the not-so-distant future; the stock is a good bet here. x.comÂ
Micron could fall if Nvidia launches new integrations with Groq at its conference next week, as expected, which would reduce reliance on DRAM. That likely explains the highly unusual $18.2 million of Micron puts expiring next week, flagged by @CheddarFlow. x.comÂ
Micron's $150B of long-term contracts with price floors give memory unprecedented visibility, but macro fear is keeping the market from awarding a structural multiple. Those deals should exceed 35% of revenue through 2030 at margins above any prior peak, and revenue and margins should rise every quarter of 2027 even as price hikes moderate. That depends on increasingly debt-funded AI buyers paying amid a September Fed hike and 20-year-high yields; the next leg needs de-escalation in Iran. x.comÂ
Micron's options structure points higher, with a first short- to medium-term target of $1,100. Its moving averages remain in bullish expansion, gamma is skewed upward and call positioning extends to $1,300. The setup favors waiting for consolidation or a pullback to find entries. x.comÂ
Micron faces a severe crash risk from CXMT's current threat and apparent investor complacency after a euphoric high. If the Wall St Cheat Sheet fits, most of Micron's gains across 40 years, amassed in just one year, could be erased soon. Earlier, Elon Musk said Micron had been reasonable on future memory prices; memory stocks were not yet to be faded. x.com x.comÂ
Micron's path to buying back about half of its shares by 2029 is extremely bullish. Per UBS, cited by @techfund1, free cash flow of about $155B, $225B and $205B for 2027-2029 lays a path to repurchasing about 30% of the company over two years and potentially about half through 2029. UBS expects the market to reward Micron with a much higher P/E as gross margins likely hold above 65-70% through the cycle. Wall Street price targets should now reflect much higher P/Es. x.com x.comÂ
