My view: the memory supercycle still has room to run, but the easy money is probably behind us. The key is separating DRAM from NAND. DRAM remains structurally tight because AI accelerators and HBM are consuming enormous wafer capacity, while new fabs take years to build and ramp. NAND, however, faces a clearer risk of supply catching up with demand in 2027.

That makes me more comfortable with MU and SK hynix than pure NAND exposure. SK hynix’s ₩40T buyback is a strong signal that management remains confident in future cash generation, but buybacks are not a guaranteed price floor.

At ~85% gross margins, expectations are already extremely high. I would watch DRAM contract prices, HBM demand, hyperscaler capex and gross margins rather than stock charts. If DRAM prices roll over while AI capex slows, the cycle could turn quickly. Until then, I remain bullish—but I would buy selectively on pullbacks rather than chase momentum.

    DRAM contract price growth already cooled for two straight months, so calling it structurally tight feels rich lol. HBM can't cover every weak end market forever
