This summary was created by AI, based on 74 opinions in the last 12 months.

Micron Technology (MU) is at the center of discussions due to its substantial gains in the memory chip sector, driven primarily by AI demand and data center growth. Experts express a mix of optimism and caution, as Micron's stock has surged 210% this year, leading to concerns about sustainability and potential overvaluation in the near term. While many analysts praise Micron's innovative strategies and favorable long-term contracts, they also highlight the cyclical nature of the memory market, which can lead to volatility and significant price corrections. The consensus generally points to an expectation of continued strong performance due to ongoing shortages and strategic positioning, yet warnings about the risks of price corrections and the diminishing growth after an impressive upward trajectory remain prevalent. Overall, the sentiment around Micron intersects optimism regarding its innovations with caution about its current valuation and the cyclical nature of the memory market.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 30/22, Down 35%) Device growth has been weak, and chip makers have not done well. Good company to be with when there's a rebound. But now's not the time.

DON'T BUY

They report Wednesday. He expects another leg down for semis, meaning the glut in semis will continue. A lot of semis stocks will slide on Thursday.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 25/21, Down 30%) King of DRAM and NAND. Lots of noise about capital investment. Barometer of tech business, especially the semi side. Today announced another production slowdown, so they still see headwinds. Lots of these names are trades. Buy in thirds at $62.50, 59, and 55. (Analysts’ price target is $68.00)

DON'T BUY

Today, they said that demand has weakened and they will miss their quarter. True, October was bad, but the problem is, they have said this twice before and are taking bold and aggressive steps to reduce the supply of their chips, like reducing capex towards expanding capacity. Micron shows there's been no increase in basic electronics, namely computers.

WATCH

It's down 50% from highs. The PE is low vs. book value historically, but the semis are cursed now, are among the most-beaten stocks. Eventually, they will turn around and sharply--but it's too soon. The semis are more linked to China than we expected, and Biden wants to keep American chips out of the hands of China's military. More chips are being made to address shortages, but this will take a few quarters. Don't buy, but watch Micron.

DON'T BUY

Yesterday's quarterly report was just okay, but their outlook was hugely disappointing. The CEO said it would take next year to see a real turn. This stock has always been boom and bust. Historically, they make too many computer chips, which leads to slashing prices and crushing earnings. It usually takes two quarters to clear out the inventory and before you can buy the stock.

DON'T BUY

BUY ON WEAKNESS

It won't hold $50. Buy around $47-48.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 30/22, Down 21%) Has since sold stock. Doesn't believe in strength of business anymore. Supply chain issues and over supply of chips a problem. Short time, has problems to navigate within sector.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly This manufacturer of memory and storage chips is well poised for the the continued expansion of 5G infrastructure and all things internet based. The company stands to benefit substantially from the expansion of AI processing in everything from data warehousing to smart cars. It trades at only 7x earnings and just 1.3x book value. The company continues to build cash reserves while retiring debt. Recently reported earnings beat market expectations and support a 21% ROE. We recommend a stop loss at $45.00, looking to achieve $87.50 - upside potential over 52%. Yield 0.7% (Analysts’ price target is $87.42)

DON'T BUY

Consumer spending and the manufacturing index are both coming down. Semis' slump points to the economy slowing down.

DON'T BUY

They report Thursday. He fears the worst. They could bring the entire semi sector, hurt badly by lockdowns in China. He fears shares will fall.

BUY

options Still owns it and happy to despite it hitting a 52-week low. DRAM pricing is strong, though, and the cloud computing space is promising to them. They're stepping up to the plate. Super balance sheet and free cash flow. Many reasons to like it, even as markets fall lower.

Makes memory ships. Only US manufacturer making DRAM, giving them a strong competitive advantage. Benefits from the global ship shortage. Chip industry as a whole has a good long-term potential. Recently selected as a TOP PICK by Brendal Caldwell. Social media mentions increased 333% over the last 24h.

COMMENT

Stocks like Micron had very good earnings, but celebratory trading is short-loved in this market. Micron is down 10% since its report. It's the time to be cautious and hold cash, but don't sell long-term positions either, because you will pay a heavy tax bill.
