$MU became the AI memory trade nobody wanted to chase. What is the next “obvious in hindsight” chip-adjacent play?

Micron turning into a trillion-dollar AI winner still feels crazy.
A year ago most people were focused on GPUs, hyperscalers and software. Now memory is suddenly the bottleneck everyone cares about. HBM demand is tight, pricing power is back, and the whole thesis looks stronger than it did when the stock was much cheaper.
I was in $MU earlier, took profits, and completely underestimated how big the AI memory trade could get. Classic mistake: I saw the thesis, but not the full rerate.
Now I’m trying to figure out where the next “obvious in hindsight” move might be.
Is it still memory?
Is it storage?
Is it networking?
Is it power?
Is it cooling?
Is it data center infrastructure?
Names I’m looking at: $WDC, $STX, $AVGO, $MRVL, $ALAB, $CRWV, $NBIS.
Anyone else sell $MU too early?
And what do you think is the next AI bottleneck trade?
