What stands out

On Schwab Network, Ed Butowsky highlighted Micron's backlog as a tangible reason for the stock's recent surge, while Bob Lang argued that improving dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) pricing and margin expansion tied to artificial intelligence (AI) demand leave room for more upside.

The piece matters because it turns a popular theme into testable claims: backlog conversion and margin recovery.
