Micron Technology (MU) has been experiencing significant volatility, driven by a profound memory chip shortage. Expert opinions are mixed, with many noting the short-term gains of the stock due to high demand from data centers and AI applications. However, concerns about potential volatility and a possible downturn due to historical cyclical patterns in the semiconductor industry are prevalent. Some analysts highlight exceptional earnings and revenue growth, while others caution that the stock may be overvalued given its dramatic rise of over 200% in a year. Overall, there appears to be a cautionary sentiment about entering new positions at current levels, with several experts advising profit-taking or careful monitoring of market developments.

DON'T BUY

Long-term view MU is no longer in a boom-bust cycle like it was in the 1990s. That said, a better long-term buy in chips is AMD as they close their deal with Xilinx.

WEAK BUY

Likes it, but it's still a commodity chipmaker, when he prefers proprietary chipmakers like Nvidia and AMD. They report Wednesday. After their last report, the stock peaked, but he thinks there's room to run.

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 Aug 11/20, Up 92.6%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with MU is continuing to progress well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $55) to $80. Along with the recommendation to cover 50% previously, this would all but guarantee a minimum return on investment of 50%.

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.
