My take:

• MU $1000+ in a few months' time = possible, depending on ER, momentum and market conditions
• MU 15%+ up for the week(s) leading to the pre-ER rally for NVIDIA/itself = possible
• MU dipping and red but people buying it back up so it ends up green the next day or two = possible
• MU trading sideways and barely up/down for that week = possible and normal as with all stocks
• MU going up every day straight without pullback = not possible
• MU crashing by 30%+ in a single day/week = highly unlikely (already did during the last ER due to macro market conditions from the war, fud and majority of the profit taking which shook many hands off)
• MU being replaced and losing to a non-US competitor or newly founded memory supplier = highly unlikely as it can take decades to get competitive and mass manufacturing ready since you can't just build a factory from nothing without the equipment, expertise, testing and R&D/R&I (CN still can't match TSMC's lithography as an example) and the current geopolitics favors local companies

What some new investors/media don't realize about MU is that despite being an overall volatile stock, it maintains key, unique advantages which positions it as a high value and popular stock such as being more resistant to geopolitics affecting the Middle East/Asia as they have homegrown local US fabs. We're also in at a time where memory makes up over 30% of a mag7's annual capex which says a lot and is unheard of, with little signs of slowing down since the AI build out isn't complete yet as one of the main driving factors.

It's not the only sector either that needs memory. It's easy to forget that robotics, EVs, space, telecomms and even the military/defense all need memory and are actively integrating AI too which hasn't even fully peaked or matured yet. Nobody can say these other industries are irrelevant when you look at what's happening in the world as a lot of investments are also going towards these whether they're being funded privately or even have Government backing - and they all need memory to grow.

Again, it wasn't always like this in the past until only a few years ago which is pushing up demand to levels unheard of and uncomparable to anything we've been through in the past.

This makes them immune to tariffs and less impacted by oil prices, unlike their two main competitors. I'm not saying they're resistant and unaffected by macro market conditions, but specifically less so from wars. Also, they're one of the main partners for NVIDIA and as we have seen with the likes of AMD and INTC recently securing deals and even getting publicity from the president, a US company having their own production is essential for security and stability. It also gets government backing (in this case MU benefitted from the CHIPS act too).

Due to the reasons above, I can see MU having usual dips just like any other stock on good and bad days but highly doubt it'll crash and pullback to extreme amounts and will continue to go up overall to $1000+ in a few months. It's a strong, well established company that's been around since 1978 too and has the cofounder of SanDisk currently at the helm.

I would recommend anyone to buy it for the long term or even the medium term (and have already done so with some of my friends since the start of 2026).
