<li>Solidigm’s potential US$150bn IPO is Monday’s key Korea catalyst: SK Hynix’s NAND unit is reportedly pitching a 2027 US listing at up to US$150bn, implying ~15% of SK Hynix’s MCAP.</li>
<li>Micron enters 30 September results with the Street above guidance: consensus is US$50.97bn revenue / US$31.35 EPS versus US$50bn / US$31 guidance, while Goldman’s whisper sits at US$51.9bn / US$32.54.</li>
<li>The sector remains earnings-led but increasingly crowded. We favour Micron tactically, half-sized into the print, with SK Hynix moving to alternative after the Solidigm catalyst fired.</li>
