Micron has kicked off a $9.3 billion fab expansion project in Hiroshima, Japan. The first batch of equipment for the project is expected to be delivered in H2 2028, aiming to support the supply of HBM and other DRAM memory chips.
The core takeaway: Micron continues to double down on high-bandwidth memory and DRAM capacity to meet the memory bandwidth and supply demands of the AI era.
