Micron lifts U.S. investment target to US$250bn through 2035.

Ground broken on a major New York fab, record AI-memory results, and long-term supply agreements with Ford, Meta, and GM.

Jul 2026SemiconductorsSolomon Partners Briefing

Micron has raised its U.S. investment target to US$250bn through 2035, breaking ground on a major New York facility while reporting record third-quarter results driven by what management describes as insatiable demand for AI memory.

The company simultaneously locked in demand, signing long-term supply agreements with Ford, Meta, and General Motors. Automakers signing memory supply deals directly — behavior once reserved for hyperscalers — signals how deeply AI compute has penetrated the vehicle platform.

As the only U.S.-headquartered DRAM maker, Micron's expansion is inseparable from industrial policy: memory is now treated as strategic capacity, and the New York build anchors the domestic leg of a supply chain Washington wants onshore.

Our read.

Customers pre-committing to memory supply years forward tells you where the bargaining power sits in this cycle. For investors, the durable question is whether HBM-driven margin structure survives the capacity wave now being financed on three continents.
