Micron Technology (MU-Q) is a company that has experienced significant volatility, with experts offering mixed views on its prospects. Several analysts note that while the company has benefited from a current memory chip shortage and strong demand driven by AI and data centers, the stock's substantial increase in value this year raises concerns about its sustainability. Some experts warn investors to consider reducing their positions or selling, citing potential future supply gluts and increasing competition. In contrast, a few analysts maintain that long-term demand for memory will be bolstered by the evolution of AI technology, pointing to historical strength in the company's performance. Overall, the stock's present valuation and future trajectory remain highly debated among experts, with warnings about its speculative nature.

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.
SELL ON STRENGTH
This is a decent long-term play, but, if short-term, then set a lower price target of a 15% gain and sell.
TOP PICK
The CEO last week said second-half earnings will increase sharply. Their cash position has improved dramatically and they are now trading at 5 times earnings. Too cheap to ignore. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $47.30)
BUY
A leader in the digital side of chips. Target price of $77, now $34. It's extremely discounted.
DON'T BUY
He has sworn off semiconductor stocks. A soon as there is a glut of chips, the price falls off. You need to be in an industry where you can't have such sudden increases in supply.
DON'T BUY
Memory chips. Margins used to be fantastic. The semis and memory manufacturers are a great long term investment. He is on board. They are doing a good job. He would not buy it today because it does not check the technical box. You are in a negative earnings revision cycle.
DON'T BUY
Anytime a stock trades less than 4 times earnings, it usually foretells doom. The new CEO has restructured the balance sheet and now they have $2 billion of net cash, which is good. The flash memory product has faced headwinds. He thinks this is trading at too high a value still.
HOLD
It’s getting wiped out with everything else. Not scared of volatility in a stock like this. It’s had a great ride. Very healthy pullback. Still likes it, would still own it.
RISKY

It is supposed to earn $10.46 per share next year, but the market is only projecting less than $2 per share. About 80% of their sales are into China. He worries about the potential trade war impacts. They have accused their Chinese partner on a project for stealing intellectual property. He would peck away at this, but sees $19 as a possible lower test point. They have a very small position in Micron.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
He does own this, but took profit recently. They represent the digital side of the semi-conductor space. The business is very cyclical and he has chosen to underweight this space for now. He would watch for an opportunity to buy back in at lower prices.
BUY

The chip space is down to three players occuping 95% of the market, so these companies are focussed on earning investor returns. AI and self-driving cars will be a tailwind. Yes, the stock has traded off from $60 to $40 a share. InvestorS saw this as a deeply cyclical company. True, but he sees this as a growth cyclical company. It has a lot of free cash flow and has promised a large share buyback.

COMMENT

Another chip company. Profitability has really jumped. 2.7B in cash. Very volatile stock, more of a trade than an investment. If there’s a falloff from electrification because of a recession, they’ll be hit hard first.

SELL

He thinks semi-conductors are heading down. He would sell this one – especially as the momentum is coming out of this sector. Another 10% drop in the sector overall, could cause another major fall in value.

DON'T BUY

Tariffs are not a good thing, of course. But more importantly be worried that the chip cycle has turned. There were strong numbers before, but not going forward. Numbers ahead don't look good. Avoid.
