AI-Driven Memory & Storage Supercycle

Conviction: 72% · Horizon: 2Y · 2026-04-06
Hyperscaler AI buildout is fueling a multi-year supercycle across NAND flash, HBM, and high-capacity nearline storage

AI infrastructure investment by hyperscalers is creating sustained, broad-based demand for memory and storage technologies — from HBM and NAND flash to enterprise SSDs and nearline HDDs. Companies with proprietary nodes, key IP, or dominant market positions in these segments are well positioned for multi-year tailwinds.

Instrument Side Target Reason
RMBS Long 126 Essential IP provider for HBM and DDR5/6 memory interfaces required for AI bandwidth; positioned as a royalty-driven beneficiary of the AI memory supercycle.
STX Long Dominant in high-capacity nearline HDD storage for data center cold storage; HDD price improvements and growing nearline demand from AI hyperscalers. TAM of $25B+ in data storage infrastructure.
SNDK Long Pure-play NAND flash and enterprise SSD provider with deep hyperscaler ties; proprietary BiCS8 node drives shift to high-speed AI storage. Addressable TAM of $94.22B in global NAND flash market.
MU Long Diversified memory leader dominant in HBM for AI; Applied Materials partnership for next-gen DRAM and $200B capacity expansion underway. TAM of $150B–$300B in combined DRAM/HBM market.
