Hold recommended on Micron and SK hynix as memory market momentum slows and clarity on 2028 supply is awaited

An analyst recommends holding shares of Micron Technology and SK hynix, as the relative advantages between the two have evened out. The memory market shows slowing growth in DRAM and a shift in NAND pricing momentum, making current dips unattractive for new investments. Both companies have strong contracts through 2027, but the next key catalyst will be clearer supply and capital expenditure outlooks in 2028. Earnings growth and buybacks may offset valuation pressures, but sideways trading is expected until more visibility on 2028 emerges.

As of Nov 05, 2026 02:21 WIB, Micron Technology (MU) trades at USD 804.25, down 5.95% in one day on Pluang. SK hynix (SKHY) is priced at USD 143.13 with a 5.08% decline over the same period. On Pluang, MU investors typically hold for 51 days, while SKHY holders average 18 days, reflecting differing trading behaviors amid current market conditions.
