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.

Valuation

Nvidia, NVDA

BUY

He targets $63.70. Their last reported quarter was weak, but beat the street only because the street had lowered expectations. But this could fuel optimism for the stock. They continue to invest in R&D. It's innovative and diversified to meet customer needs. It trades at only 5x enterprise value to EBITDA.

HOLD

The only semi that everybody hates. Do not sell it. Broadcom and Marvel are better, though, in this space.

TOP PICK

When earnings were released in June, beating estimates by 20%, the market reacted driving the share price to over $54. The company raised its earnings guidance for Q4 ending August to $0.95-$1.15 EPS versus analyst estimates of $0.80. The stay-at-home trend has been strong for their data centers and laptops. Since then the share price has retraced, call it sell on fact or simply profit taking. Now the shares look prime for a buy at these levels with upside to over $64 -- over 30% upside. We would use $42.50 as a stop loss. Yield 0% (Analysts’ price target is $64.95)

TOP PICK

In these volatile times, have a risk management process. He uses a hedging overlap. He loves MU in the semi space, trading at 5x enterprise value to EBITDA. This just beat earnings even in this time. $63 is his own target. (Analysts’ price target is $61.37)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 20/19, Up 41%) It moved up quite a lot but now analysts are starting to talk about renewed pricing power on DRAM memory. It's more a trading stock. They really fixed their balance sheet.

WEAK BUY

A chip company that performed quite well this year. Longer term investors have to be comfortable with the cyclicality in the space. There is more positive sentiment in the space right now but he likes more consistent earners, although there are arguments for owning some of the US chips.

BUY

Micron has been slammed 15% lately. Micron reduced guidance a little, but managers can handle cyclicality, and they have a good mix of products. $58 is his target.

WAIT

Immune from tariff war? They are known for their storage sector assets. The growth in data storage is enormous. The capacity requirements are growing and will continue to do so. He is unsure that China could still not be a threat to them. There may be other factors at play. Watch it and keep on your radar.

COMMENT

They were upgraded today, maybe from RBC. He owns MU's peers. MU, even after its recent run, remains pretty cheap. It trades below 8x forward earnings. They sell memory worldwide.

WAIT

It's done poorly this year, because it's a semi producer due to the China trade war. 30% of their business lies in smartphone memory, so if the trade war gets drastic (which he doubts), MU will get hit. The market is pricing no growth. PE is low-single-digit. This is a $60 stock, really. 5G will drive this as people upgrade their phones. This can easily rise 10-15% in a market rally. It may be early to enter it now, though. The mass-market shift to 5G will happen in 2020-1.

WAIT

Inventories have been a problem. There is exponential growth in cloud storage demand, but it doesn't mean there won't be cyclical issues. He would take a pass for now. Give it time.

HOLD

Semis reflect the general economy. Last year they peaked out early, but definitely improving since the start of the year. Semis have recently broken to new highs. Hold this, because it will go higher through this new cycle into 2021/2022.

SELL

It is highly cyclical so is never a hold. It is being driven by data centers right now. The recent numbers were a little disappointing so he would sell and get into something more solid like a Broadcom.

COMMENT

He owns it indirectly in an ETF, the SOXX. Only a 2-3% position, because there's no clarity on the future of the memory chip market. Micron warned back in January, then Samsung warned.

WAIT

A big semis name that got taken to the woodshed due to slowing smartphone growth. There's huge memory demand growth but also existing supply in inventory in this sector and Micron's. Give it time.
