- Micron's Valuation Advantage: Micron Technology (MU) is currently trading at a forward P/E of just 11 times, despite significant revenue and earnings growth, with projected EPS reaching $32.42 in fiscal 2026, indicating strong growth potential in the AI market.
- Market Demand Surge: According to Counterpoint Research, DRAM prices are expected to rise by 40% to 50% in the current quarter, which will further boost Micron's revenue growth, especially against the backdrop of surging demand for AI accelerators.
- Marvell's Growth Potential: Marvell Technology (MRVL) reported a 51% year-over-year revenue increase to nearly $6 billion in the first nine months of fiscal 2026, with non-GAAP net income more than doubling to $2.05 per share, reflecting strong demand in the AI processor market.
- Expanding Client Base: Marvell has secured five new design wins for its AI chips and is in deep negotiations with a third client, with these orders expected to ramp into volume production next year, further solidifying its position in the AI infrastructure market.
