Is the Memory Rally Still Alive After the Semiconductor Sell-Off?

Despite a $2.7 trillion market cap wipeout in semiconductors last week driven by fears over rising hardware costs and CapEx concerns, the structural rally in memory chip makers remains intact. The PHLX Semiconductor Index is still up 11% monthly and 99% year-to-date, with memory chip shortages forecast through 2028. Micron Technology exemplifies the sector's strength, gaining over 750% in 52 weeks with 1,358% YoY earnings growth and 85% gross margins.
