MU vs RMBS: The 20x Valuation Spread That’s Begging to Be Traded

Here's what the market is telling us: Micron (MU) at $163.28 trades at 29.6x earnings while Rambus (RMBS) at $103.74 commands 49.1x. That's a 20-turn premium for RMBS, pricing it like a hypergrowth SaaS company when it's actually a semiconductor IP licensor riding the same memory cycle as Micron. One company owns the fabs and makes the actual memory. The other makes interface chips and collects royalties. The market's paying 66% more in P/E terms for the latter. This is a dislocation worth exploiting.
