Lynx Equity said its latest checks show Micron’s HBM capacity, and possibly its DDR5/lpDDR5 capacity, is now sold out through 2026, extending beyond management’s prior commentary that HBM was fully booked through 2026. With 2027 supply already allocated, the firm believes Micron is now negotiating pricing and supply terms into 2028.
The analyst argues this visibility is far stronger than what the Street is modeling.
Why Lynx Thinks the Street Is Missing the Bigger Story
The firm highlighted three key disconnects:
1. Demand Visibility Through 2027 – While many analysts are focused on upside to calendar-Q2 pricing, Lynx believes the more important takeaway is that Micron may now have multi‑year visibility on demand and pricing.
2. Conservative Consensus – Even after Micron’s blowout quarter, Wall Street expects flat to down revenue in FY28. Meanwhile, Lynx forecasts 40% growth as new DRAM wafer capacity comes online and the company begins monetizing pent-up demand.
3. TurboQuant Concerns Are Irrelevant – The analyst dismissed worries that TurboQuant, a technology aimed at reducing memory needs, could hurt Micron, calling the impact “irrelevant to MU fundamentals.”
Is Micron a Good Stock to Buy?
Wall Street has a Strong Buy consensus rating on Micron stock based on 25 Buy and three Hold recommendations. The average MU stock price target of $543.13 indicates 29.65% upside potential.
