Everyone is crowding into $MU and $SNDK for the memory shortage.
But most people are overlooking $PENG.
Same tailwind, way less attention.
→ AI moved from training to inference, and inference is memory-bound, not compute-bound. The GPU's onboard HBM becomes the wall.
→ DRAM prices doubled in Q1 and Reuters reported they could climb another ~63% this quarter. HSBC's Kazunori Ito sees little prospect of a quick drop.
→ The crowd buys the chipmakers. $MU, $SNDK, the obvious picks. But the shortage also reprices the system integrators who package that memory into AI factories. That's $PENG.
Why $PENG is still a good play:
→ Memory segment grew +63% YoY in Q2 FY2026 on AI demand and pricing.
→ The MemoryAI KV Cache server (industry-first, March 2026) adds up to 11 TB of CXL 2.0 memory per node ≈ 10x faster than NVMe caching, 3.8x faster than RDMA.
→ Built on 30 years of SMART Modular memory IP + an SK Hynix DRAM collaboration competitors can't easily copy.
The rerate is already starting:
→ $16 (52-wk low) → ~$71 recent high. Rosenblatt and Stifel both hiked targets into the $60s, Street high sits at $108.
→ The market is re-rating $PENG from a commodity hardware multiple to an AI-infrastructure multiple.
While everyone fights over $MU, that gap is where the alpha lives.
I'm in at $30, holding, and $100 is my minimum target.
Not financial advice. DYOR.
