Micron Technology FY2025 (Aug 2025) revenue ~$30-32B (+50-60% YoY recovering from FY2024 trough $25.1B = -50% from FY2022 peak $30.8B). Adj. operating margin recovered to ~30% (from FY2024 ~5%) with adj. EPS ~$8.75 (vs ~-$1 FY2024). HBM franchise grew from $0.5B FY2022 to $8-10B+ FY2025 — Micron HBM market share expanded from ~10-15% to ~25-30% as HBM3E qualified at NVIDIA + AMD + hyperscalers. PRC sales compressed from 25% to 10-12% on US export controls + May 2023 PRC Cyberspace Admin determination. FY2026 thesis: HBM4 ramp + HBM3E continued production drives DRAM premium economics; traditional memory cycle pricing discipline sustains; Idaho ID2 + NY1 fab construction progresses on $25-35B+ multi-year capex plan; key risks: memory cycle reversal, Samsung HBM3E ramp displacing Micron, PRC trade policy further restricting sales, capex execution.

South Korea's Q1 GDP data, driven by a 12% jump in semiconductor exports, confirms the memory chip upcycle is accelerating two quarters ahead of consensus. This creates a differential trade: memory producers (SSNGY, HXSCL, MU, WDC) benefit from price increases, while consumer electronics assemblers (DELL, HPQ, LNVGY) face unmodeled margin compression. A long memory/short assembler pair targets 7-10% outperformance over six months, falsified if Q2 export growth falls below 8% YoY by July 31.
