Micron Has Completely Proven Me Wrong (Rating Upgrade)

Summary Micron has surpassed over 600% in a year, driven by unprecedented AI CapEx and soaring demand for high bandwidth memory (HBM). MU's fortunes are tightly linked to the ongoing AI infrastructure build-out, with CapEx projected to exceed $1.6 trillion by 2031. Long-term agreements provide revenue visibility and help manage pricing volatility, but growth normalization is likely by FY2028 as supply catches up. The AI agentic inferencing opportunity has completely wiped out my previous skepticism. It is a transformative new era for Micron. But I will not completely throw caution to the wind when thinking about the possibility of buying at peak margins right now. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
Narrative Update May 15

New Narrative Mar 10

Position to be managed in the supercycle of memory but too expensive for long-term hold

Target Entry Point: Under $350 - ride 12 month supercycle (if you have appetite) Micron represents a cycle-aware position in the $200B+ global memory semiconductor market, entering the most profitable period in its 47-year history driven by AI-fueled demand for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), data center DRAM, and enterprise SSDs. FY2026 is a confirmed supercycle: Q1 delivered $13.64B in record revenue (+57% YoY), Q2 is guided at $18.7B with 68% gross margins, and full-year consensus is ~$76B in revenue with ~$34 EPS. The core thesis — that AI structurally elevates memory from commodity component to strategic infrastructure — is validated by Micron's entire 2026 HBM supply being sold out under finalized contracts.
Narrative Update Mar 02

MU: AI Memory Demand And Tight Supply Will Reshape Future Cycle

Micron: I'm Finally Bullish (Rating Upgrade)

Summary Micron Technology is in a favorable price action position, bouncing on a decade-long trend line. Shares are still holding up since the April 7 lows. My bull case is driven by limited tariff exposure, strong pricing power, and promising HBM sales after earnings data came in from SK hynix. That said, I remain concerned about recent insider selling and gross margin pressure from NAND oversupply. Overall, I favor Micron’s current technical setup. The AI narrative is still strong, and I expect the stock to hold the decade-long trendline. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Micron: A Buy Recommendation Despite Current Market Woes

Summary A trade war threatens Micron Technology, Inc.'s revenue growth as 80% of its sales are international. Management's Q3 FY 2025 gross margin guidance was weaker than analysts' forecasts, dampening investor sentiment. Micron has a significant potential upside opportunity in high bandwidth memory, which is necessary for training sophisticated AI algorithms. Its one-year forward PEG ratio implies a high potential upside if the memory chip manufacturing industry's upcycle continues. MU stock remains a buy for risk-tolerant investors.

Micron Technology: HBM Ramp-Up May Pressure Margins, But Stock Remains A Buy

Summary Micron Technology, Inc. reported a 38.3% YoY revenue increase, driven by DRAM and NAND sales growth, despite some pricing pressures and inventory adjustments. The company delivered on its guidance, but the stock price declined due to margin pressures and competitive pricing, particularly from China. Micron's Q3 guidance indicates higher sales but continued margin pressure, necessitating careful management of capacity and investments in HBM chips. Despite current challenges, I maintain a buy rating for MU stock with a price target of $134.91, implying a 42% upside by FY26. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
