Key catalyst: Micron HBM4 ramp + design wins
Watch events: Micron HBM4 revenue trajectory; design-win disclosures.
Resolution evidence
Micron F/Q2 2026 earnings commentary confirmed HBM4 HVM on schedule; design wins disclosed.
Predictor: Micron
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Micron is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
