The stock has been on a parabolic run: $1080 at investigation date vs ~$396 three months prior (90-day return +172%). Earnings history is exceptional — four consecutive beats including a +33% EPS surprise last quarter and the most recent print showing +20.6% beat on the prior quarter, with strong analyst revision momentum (Morgan Stanley raised target from $520 to $1050; UBS hiked to $1625). HBM memory demand driven by AI infrastructure buildout is the structural tailwind framing the bull thesis. Options data shows elevated IV (~100%) with call-skew bias and a put/call ratio of 1.85 (aggregate), but net dollar flow heavily bullish (+$91M directional bias into calls). The implied ATM straddle move is approximately 20-21%, while historical realized moves for MU at this magnitude of earnings beats likely run 15-25% — the edge is marginal and direction-dependent rather than purely vol-dislocative. Five of six directional signals are bullish; only insider selling (CEO Mehrotra executing systematic 10b5-1 sales, no open-market buys in the past 90 days) counters. Technicals flash overbought: RSI14 at 82, stock above all major MAs with a recent bullish MACD cross.
