What did The Pomp Podcast say about Micron?

Micron came up on several recent episodes. Quotes below are from the episodes, with timestamps.

On the October 10, 2026 episode, "Bitcoin Is the Toll Collector of the AI Economy | Jordi Visser", Jordi Visser pointed to Micron's run:

❝

"I want everyone to go bring up a chart of Micron."

Jordi Visser, The Pomp Podcast, Oct 10, 2026, 29:04

He said the show had talked about Micron at $100 and $150, and asked whether to sell at $200, adding: "It went to 1,400." One clarification: StockAnalysis lists Micron's 52-week high at $1,255.00 a share, so the $1,400 figure is his.

On October 22, Dan Ives said Micron was trading at about five times earnings. StockAnalysis listed its forward price-to-earnings ratio at 4.97 as of October 23, 2026. On October 24, Jordi said the chip trade still rises and falls with spending cycles:

❝

"NVIDIA is still a cyclical company, Micron is still a cyclical company."

Jordi Visser, The Pomp Podcast, Oct 24, 2026, 49:22

On October 20, Moez Kassam described a short-term trade his team debated:

❝

"So I was talking to my team and they go, you really want to get into the memory trade?"

Moez Kassam, The Pomp Podcast, Oct 20, 2026, 32:30

He said he expected a quick bounce once markets stabilized, rather than a long-term hold.
