This summary was created by AI, based on 46 opinions in the last 12 months.

Micron Technology (MU) has experienced a remarkable increase in value, gaining about 220% this year due to a shortage in memory supply, notably from data centers. While many analysts agree that the stock's fundamentals are strong, the overall market sentiment reveals caution due to its high beta and historical cyclicality in the semiconductor industry. Experts point to the risks of a potential correction, particularly as speculative interest has surged, making the stock feel more like a meme than a solid investment. Furthermore, although there are bullish projections regarding demand from AI and data centers, many analysts also suggest reducing positions or waiting for a pullback before making new investments. Overall, the landscape appears promising, yet fraught with risks that warrant careful consideration before entering or expanding investment in MU.

DON'T BUY

A global leader in memory chips. Customers include data centres, PCs, graphics and autos. As we know, there's a supply shortage in semis especially for cars. Note: this is one of many cyclical swings in this industry over a 30-year period, so this shortage isn't a surprise. This sector demands flexibility and innovation to adjust to rapid changes in new products using semis with short life cycles. MU is guiding high-single-digit volumes for the next quarter. The stock peaked in April at $95 and is now at $77. It isn't on his radar now. It's not for the feint of heart, though the street really likes it.

COMMENT

Chip shortage He likes it, but not as much as AMD which will be a very different company when it closes its Xilinx deal. Hard to tell where the shortage is going.

WAIT

Great company, but very cyclical. It's already done well. The time to buy is when it's buried at the bottom and things don't look great. Buyer beware.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Uncharacteristically, we are again making MU a TOP PICK, after it triggered our stop just a short while ago. At that time it was monetizing an overall 50% gain. We still see upside and it still appears to be at good value here. It trades at 30x earnings compared to peers and earnings as expected to double again over the upcoming year. We would buy this with a stop loss at $60, looking to achieve $113 -- upside potential over 41%. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $113.20)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 11/20, Up 67.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly MU has triggered our $80 stop, so we are recommending covering the remaining position at this time. Combined with the previous recommendation to cover 50%, this has resulted in a net investment return of 50%.

COMMENT

It's done very well, tripling, and a stock like this will stall even on good news.

BUY

The chip shortage is getting worse, so the semis will go higher, maybe a lot. Last week, Micron said D-RAMs and flash memory chips are in short supply. Demand for cell phone parts is high; 5G is demanding more parts. There's not enough being manufactured.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 31/20, Up 109%) A manufacturer in the semiconductor field. More demand than supply, so right place at right time. Beat top and bottom lines in January. Price target of $108.90.

BUY

They report next week. Their D-RAM and Flash businesses are humming, so he expects numbers to leap. The stock seems to be anticipating that.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

We have seen a run in semiconductor names. Recently has had a nice surge. The problem is that it is quite cyclical. When the market declines, you want to buy it. From a practical point of view, he wants structural growth stories that are sustainable in downturns. It is a little rich right now.

BUY

It's more than doubled since March, but has it gotten ahead of itself? Yesterday it reported a top and bottom line beat with terrific guidance. It rallied today, but closed negative. Probably there was profit-taking, but sees more runway ahead.

COMMENT

Their D-RAM business may be saved by their disc drive business, but he doesn't see a stock rise unless management says they see tightness coming in D-RAM.
