2. Supply is tight for 5+ years , because few players control production.
3. Pricing power returns , because MU earns more by changing price rather than volume.
4. OEMs face commoditization . Because low margins, no pricing power.
5. MU’s cycle is turning upward . Because inventories cleared, capex cuts → tight supply in 2026–2028.
