AI Memory Boom Spurs MU Advantage Over SNDK, Investor Says

The AI infrastructure boom is lifting Micron and SanDisk as memory demand surges. Micron reported $23.9 billion in Q2 revenue with guidance of about $33.5 billion for the next quarter and is aiming for an ~81% gross margin in Q3, while SanDisk posted $5.95 billion in Q3 revenue with a 78.4% gross margin. An investor calling themselves Alpha Analyst recommends a relative trade: stay long MU for stronger AI‑memory durability and hedge with a short SNDK, citing MU’s cheaper forward EV/EBITDA (roughly 8x vs. SNDK ~16x) and tighter HBM/DRAM supply constraints. However, the piece notes valuations are stretched and warns against naked buys if AI capex growth slows, making MU the more durable long‑term play.
