MICRON TECHNOLOGY – POST 2/2 In the previous post, I explained why the memory shortage is not cyclical and won’t be fixed simply by “opening more factories.” Now I want to go one level deeper, because this is the point the market continues to underestimate. The real bottleneck isn’t installed capacity. It’s how memory is manufactured today. Let me explain in depth. Unlike other semiconductors, memory is not produced as a homogeneous product. Micron (and the rest of the industry) must constantly switch between multiple densities and configurations depending on customer requirements: 12GB, 16GB, 24GB, HBM, LPDDR, DDR5, and more. Every switch requires recalibrating production lines, validating processes, and sacrificing total output volume. In a normal market, that flexibility was manageable. In a market where demand has exploded due to AI and data centers, that same variety becomes structural friction. Higher demand does not translate linearly into higher supply, and that has completely changed the cycle dynamics. That’s why, even though Micron is investing aggressively in capacity (Idaho, New York, mega-fabs costing up to $100 billion), the company itself has been clear that the real impact on supply won’t be felt before 2028, once the entire equipment, validation, and certification process is completed. In the meantime, something very important is happening: – Demand keeps growing – Supply remains constrained – Strategic customers compete for capacity – Pricing power continues to strengthen This is the kind of environment where margins don’t just expand, they remain elevated over time. On top of that, there’s another signal that is rarely noise: meaningful insider buying. When executives who understand the cycles better than anyone invest millions of dollars of their own money into the stock, they’re usually not thinking about the next quarter. That said, it’s also important to note that there have been insider sales as well, some clearly due to the strong price appreciation and others simply because stock is part of their compensation. Micron is not behaving like a defensive company. It’s acting like a company that knows the cycle ahead is neither short, nor fragile, nor easily replicable, which represents an impressive competitive advantage. That’s why we continue to view Micron as a strategic, not tactical, position. Despite trading at all-time highs and delivering a cumulative return of +107% in our portfolio, the thesis has not weakened. It’s becoming clearer by the day. This isn’t the typical “AI hype” story. It’s a story about critical infrastructure, real bottlenecks, and a market that has completely changed its scale. I hope this post is useful, and if it’s not too much to ask, I’d really appreciate a like and a share. $MU (Micron Technology, Inc.) $VGT (Vanguard Information Technology) $GOLD $SILVER $TSM (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd - ADR)
