$MU @MicronCEO on CNBC. Three things the bears need to hear.
One. Non-HBM DRAM is more profitable than HBM today. The entire portfolio is firing.
Two. A meaningful supply ramp does not even begin until 2028. And even then, supply will not catch demand for a considerable period of time.
Three. Revenue grew nearly $10B from Q1 to Q2. Another $10B from Q2 to Q3.
"Bringing up supply is a very long lead item. DRAM needs new capacity. New capacity takes new construction. Construction is a long lead time item. So earliest that we see in the industry meaningful ramp ... gradually happen overtime starting in 2028 timeframe. So I do not see supply catching up to demand for considerable period of time here."
"Today, Non-HBM dram has actually higher profitability than HBM. NAND has strong profitability as well, so we are managing the mix of the business, keeping in mind long-term considerations and absolutely, data center is the biggest growth driver. We are well positioned with our product portfolio, including HBM, to address these demand trends."
