Micron Technology (MU) has experienced significant volatility and substantial growth in its stock price this year, with several experts noting a 254% increase thus far. The outlook for the semiconductor sector, particularly in AI memory demands fueled by data centers, remains positive, with experts highlighting the company's strong earnings potential and long-term agreements with clients that bolster margins. However, there are concerns about the memory cycle's sustainability and a potential correction due to the stock's rapid ascent. Experts agree that while MU maintains a strong position in its market, caution is advised due to historical cyclicality and competitive pressures. The consensus points to a burgeoning demand for memory but notes that new investments should be approached with care, especially given the high volatility in the memory industry.

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.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 11/20, Up 54.9%) Our PAST TOP PICK with MU continues to make good ground, trading over $74. We are recommending trailing the stop up to $55 from $50. Combined with a 50% cover of the position with a 34% gain, would all but guarantee a 24% gain if triggered.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 11/20, Up 34%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK in MU has achieved its $64 objective. To be disciplined, we are recommending covering 50% of the position and trailing up the stop to $50 – just above our initial buy recommendation.

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.

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.
