BETTER AI CHIP STOCK : TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR VS . MICRON

What happened: A comparison of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) and Micron (MU) argues Micron is the better buy, noting the two make different chips and are not competitors. Key numbers: Micron trades at 5.3 times forward earnings versus TSMC at 24. TSM was down 2.28% and MU down 5.63% in the cited quote. The memory shortage is expected to worsen in 2027 and 2028. Why it matters: The article says the market doubts the AI-driven memory demand wave will last and discounts Micron as a result, while TSMC's less cyclical logic chip business is not valued at a discount.
