Revenue growth has decelerated to 3.8% year-over-year in 2026Q4 despite gross margin surging to 86.8% and operating margin to 80.7%, an outlier spread versus Seagate's 33.6% that may indicate pricing gains are approaching cyclical extremes rather than reflecting a structurally superior model.

The best time to buy is at the time of maximum AI pessimism, given the serious disconnect between Micron's robust fundamentals and discounted stock valuations/prices. The 26 SCAs lock in RPOs worth $150B through 2031 and cash commitments of $32B, providing multi-year revenue visibility while mitigating the sector's cyclical risks.
