Wedbush Morning Call - Jun 18 2026 7:01AM
■ Net, even with our FQ3 estimates at the top end of consensus, we see room for MU to likely exceed our revised model,
with DRAM ASPs being the single most influential input in determining income/EPS.
● We are modeling further upside for MU's FQ4 (though again, we see even our new higher estimates as likely to prove
conservative).
■ Our checks have suggested that PX for DRAM and NAND likely lifts ~20% in CQ3. This outlook mirrors our new modeled
expectations for MU's FQ4.
■ But, we also have seen RDIMM pricing in secondary markets spike through May with speculation that gains could
continue through CQ3, a result that we see as implying room for greater forward contract PX increases.
■ And, we have encountered suggestions mix should improve (particularly for server DIMMs) with vendors more
aggressively lifting lower density modules (encouraging a higher ASP more profitable mix).
■ As such, we see our outlook for a 20% PX lift as leaving meaningful room for MU to either guide (or eventually report)
upside for FQ4.
■ In turn, we would point to our FQ1'27 and FQ2'27 numbers (which now also assume increasing PX, albeit at a slower
rate) as offering some view into how MU FQ4 results might play out, assuming PX indeed outpaces our current
assumptions.
With numbers moving higher, demand for AI seemingly set to remain robust through CY2027 (if not 2028), limited likelihood
of oversupply over the next 18 months, and finally a strong likelihood MU exceeds our estimates, we see no reason to shift
our positive view on the name. Our new $1,300 PT is calculated by applying a 9X multiple to our new FY'27 EPS estimates
and adding in net cash. We see this multiple as being at the high end of typical peak cycle valuations, but also again believe
