Memory & Storage Candidates — April 26, 2026
Overview
Memory sector continues its monster run — all three names are near 52-week highs and the HBM AI demand cycle remains the strongest structural theme in the market. STX leading: $513.28, RSI 70.7, +28.9% 30D, +87.2% vs SMA200, near ATH (-0.8%). WDC surged to $350.16, RSI 67.6, +22.3% 30D, +108.4% vs SMA200, near ATH (-0.5%). MU has the best entry setup: $496.72, RSI 68.7, +30.1% 30D, +86.2% vs SMA200, near ATH (-2.0%). All three strong-up with golden crosses. The AI HBM supercycle is far from over but all three are extended — entries require patience.
