Micron Technology, Inc.(NASDAQ:MU) stock slid by more than 2% during Thursday's premarket session as traders weigh a pullback in high-beta chip names even with a firmer overnight index tone. Nasdaq futures are up 0.65% while S&P 500 futures have gained 0.39%.
美光科技公司(納斯達克代碼:MU)股價在周四盤前交易中下跌逾2%,因交易員權衡高貝塔晶片股的回調,儘管隔夜股指基調更為堅挺。納斯達剋期貨上漲0.65%,而標普500指數期貨上漲0.39%。
Micron remains central to the memory trade as analysts point to tight supply, strong demand and pricing trends as the key factors shaping the sector after a sharp pullback.
美光科技仍是記憶體器交易的核心,分析師指出,在經歷大幅回調後,供應緊張、需求強勁和價格走勢是塑造該行業的關鍵因素。
Analysts Say Supply Remains Tight
分析師稱供應依然緊張
Wolfe Researchsenior analystChris Casotold CNBC on Wednesday that the recent semiconductor weakness reflects a reset in expectations after a major rally. He said the SOXX index doubled over roughly three months before falling about 25% from its high.
Wolfe Research高級分析師Chris Caso周三告訴CNBC,近期半導體類股的疲軟反映了在經歷大幅上漲後市場預期的重新調整。他表示,SOXX指數在大約三個月內翻了一番,隨後從高點回落約25%。
Caso said Micron recently delivered what he viewed as one of its strongest reports, supported by robust memory demand. He said memory suppliers remain severely supply constrained because they cannot quickly add production, which supports Wolfe's bullish view on the group.
Caso表示,美光科技最近發佈了他認為是該公司最強勁的業績之一,這得益於強勁的記憶體器需求。他表示,由於記憶體器供應商無法迅速增加產量,供應仍然嚴重受限,這支援了Wolfe對該類股的看漲觀點。
Caso also said oversupply risk looks unlikely in the near term because the industry lacks enough physical space to produce the semiconductors customers want. He said any potential oversupply cycle may not emerge before 2028 at the earliest because new capacity requires new buildings that take time to complete.
Caso還表示,短期內出現供過於求的風險似乎不大,因為行業缺乏足夠的物理空間來生產客戶所需的半導體。他表示,任何潛在的供過於求周期最早也要到2028年才可能出現,因為新增產能需要新建廠房,而建設需要時間。
Pricing Trends Become The Next Catalyst
價格走勢成為下一個催化劑
Susquehannasenior equity research analystMehdi Hosseinitold CNBC on Tuesday that investors should stay patient with memory stocks after the recent pullback. He said the next phase depends on whether commodity memory prices can move sideways or roll over like they have in past cycles.
Susquehanna資深股票研究分析師Mehdi Hosseini周二告訴CNBC,在近期回調之後,投資者應耐心對待記憶體器類股票。他表示,下一階段的關鍵在於商品記憶體器價格能否橫盤整理,還是會像以往周期那樣掉頭向下。
Hosseini said the "easy money" in memory stocks has largely been made, although he remains constructive on the industry's longer-term outlook.
Hosseini表示,記憶體器類股票的「輕鬆賺錢」階段基本已經結束,但他對行業長期前景仍持積極看法。
For investors without exposure to the sector, Hosseini recommended waiting rather than chasing recent weakness. "I think you're going to have better pricing over the next month or two," he said, adding that investors typically return to the memory sector in late summer.
對於尚未佈局該類股的投資者,Hosseini建議等待,而不是追跌買入。他表示:「我認為未來一兩個月你會獲得更好的入場價格。」他還補充稱,投資者通常會在夏末重返記憶體器類股。
While memory stocks have surrendered a significant portion of their recent gains over the past month, Hosseini noted they continue to outperform levels seen three months ago.
儘管記憶體器類股票在過去一個月回吐了近期漲幅的很大一部分,Hosseini指出,它們的表現仍優於三個月前的水平。
The comments come after a volatile month for memory-chip makers, including Micron, as investors reassess whether pricing gains fueled by artificial intelligence demand can continue.
此番言論發表之際,正值記憶體晶片製造商(包括Micron)經歷了一個波動劇烈的月份,投資者正在重新評估由人工智慧需求推動的價格上漲能否持續。
