Why Micron's Latest Long-Term Deals Are a Game-Changer for Investors

Micron Technology has signed 26 strategic customer agreements covering 35% of sales through 2030, with major customers like Alphabet reportedly extending deals to 2035.

The long-term deals suggest the current AI-driven memory supercycle may last longer than previously feared, despite concerns about Chinese competition and potential market flooding by 2029-2030.
