#MicronShortSqueeze #MicronShortSqueeze Micron has been one of 2026's most extreme squeeze stories. Shares surged 19.3% on May 27 alone (to $895.88, then above $914 after-hours, another 10% premarket next day) in what analysts called a powerful gamma squeeze — options positioning amplifying the move as implied volatility spiked. The stock was up 265% in H1 2026 and gained over 834% in the trailing 12 months, driven by sold-out HBM memory and AI-fueled DRAM demand, yet still traded at a modest 8-9x forward P/E — unusual for a stock moving like this. That run peaked near $1,051.87 on July 2, the exact moment Michael Burry ("The Big Short") disclosed a short position, calling Micron a "destroyer of capital" caught in psychological bubble dynamics, citing its brutal cyclical history (34 drawdowns over 30% in 42 years) and weak median ROIC (~4%). Burry's timing looks prescient so far: Micron has since pulled back sharply — down to $895-980 by early July, then falling another 9% July 28-29 on fresh worries about Chinese competition (CXMT's capacity ramp) undercutting memory prices and broader loss of confidence in AI capex sustainability. The stock remains genuinely split between "generational short" bears (Seeking Alpha's 76%-downside thesis) and bulls who see the memory bottleneck (RAMageddon) as structurally durable through 2027.
