Micron CEO Sees 2028 Supply Easing as Memory Shortages Persist

3 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · Jun 30

Summary

  • Micron expects industry memory and storage supply to improve only gradually in 2028, with shortages still taking considerable time to ease, CEO Sanjay Mehrotra told analysts.
  • Robust demand is the main reason tighter conditions may outlast that added capacity, preserving the pricing power that has helped lift Micron's growth outlook.
  • Apple has already cited higher costs tied to the shortage as it raises prices, underscoring that major customers do not expect relief soon.
  • For investors, the timeline supports Micron's near-term momentum but leaves the stock exposed to sharp swings if AI spending cools or broader economic conditions weaken.
