Has MU truly exited the Crucial consumer business? Is this a pivot toward the AI server goldmine, or a sign of impending decline?

MU announced today that it will shut down its Crucial consumer memory and SSD business, with global retail channels ceasing sales by February 2026.

The stated reason is a pivot toward high-end memory (HBM DRAM) for AI and data centers, which offers higher profit margins and surging demand.

MU is currently making a bold bet that the AI and data center memory boom will continue.

Should investors increase their MU holdings on this news or adopt a wait-and-see approach?
