Buy Micron MU. The Solidigm IPO cancellation removes a future NAND capacity funding path, which supports NAND pricing over the next cycle. Add the near-term setup: the SOX selloff looks partly technical, and MU is already rebounding with the group. Micron also has AI-linked upside via DRAM/NAND plus HBM exposure, so sentiment should improve as investors rotate back into “AI picks-and-shovels.”
Key Risk: NAND prices keep falling because demand weakens faster than supply growth slows.
Buy SK Hynix 000660.KS. The Solidigm IPO cancellation is shareholder-friendly and shifts attention to stronger buyback/dividend commitments at the upcoming earnings. That creates a direct catalyst, not just a sector bounce. Plus, less likely future NAND supply pressure supports memory margins, which the market will reward when earnings confirm.
Key Risk: Management disappoints on shareholder returns (buybacks/dividends) or guidance shows margins rolling over.
