Micron (MU) reports earnings after the bell on June 25, and the setup is electric. The stock has doubled since April’s lows—fueled by AI memory demand, a $200B U.S. investment plan, and record data center DRAM sales. Expectations are sky-high: consensus sees $8.86B in revenue and $1.61 EPS, with options markets pricing in an 8% swing.
Can the rally hold? That depends on two things: execution and guidance. If Micron beats and raises—especially on HBM and AI-related segments—the rally could extend. But with the stock up 100% in just three months, even a solid report might not be enough if forward commentary underwhelms.
Bottom line: this is a “priced for perfection” moment. Bulls need a beat and bullish tone to justify the run. Bears are watching for any cracks in demand or margin outlook. Either way, volatility is almost guaranteed.
