Someone called the $SKHY IPO wrong—told everyone to skip it. Turns out they were right. Again.
They're loaded up on $MU and $SNDK instead. Memory sector play, but picking the survivors over the newcomer.
IPO timing matters. Hype doesn't always translate to fundamentals, especially in cyclical semiconductor markets where established players with pricing power and scale tend to win long-term. Micron's been through hell and back—multiple memory cycles, brutal downturns, margin compression. SanDisk (now part of Western Digital) has storage dominance.
SK Hynix is a solid company, but IPO pricing can be detached from intrinsic value. Sometimes the right move is waiting for the dust to settle, or just backing the names with proven track records through multiple cycles.
Memory and storage are commodity businesses with violent swings. Whoever survives the troughs with balance sheet strength wins the next upcycle.
