Micron Technology (MU)

The sleeper story everyone is missing: SCAs aren't just supply deals, they're structured margin protection that locks in profitability floors across cycles with 'specific commitments' spanning five years. While the Street celebrates 81% gross margins, the real story is Micron building a moat through binding customer agreements that convert memory from commodity to strategic asset. The constraint isn't demand (they're only fulfilling 50-67% of key customer needs), it's clean room physics with $10B+ construction spend increases showing panic-level urgency. Most revealing quote: 'These SCAs are meant to go across periods when the industry is very tight versus other parts of the industry environment as well' - that's downside protection language disguised as supply-demand speak. My view changes if they start disclosing SCA revenue mix or admit any customer is successfully multi-sourcing away from their 'strategic' agreements.
