Micron faces worsening DRAM shortages as demand rises, with tighter supply expected through 2027.

Micron Technology's customers are rationing DRAM due to supply shortages, with some data center buyers receiving only half of their requested memory. The shortage is expected to worsen, with tighter supply anticipated in 2027 compared to 2026. The rise of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) exacerbates the issue by consuming more wafer capacity, limiting conventional DRAM availability. Despite these challenges, Micron's stock appears priced for a more severe earnings downturn than currently expected, and supply chain agreements could help stabilize future volumes and prices.
