Micron Technology (MU) is at the center of discussions due to its substantial gains in the memory chip sector, driven primarily by AI demand and data center growth. Experts express a mix of optimism and caution, as Micron's stock has surged 210% this year, leading to concerns about sustainability and potential overvaluation in the near term. While many analysts praise Micron's innovative strategies and favorable long-term contracts, they also highlight the cyclical nature of the memory market, which can lead to volatility and significant price corrections. The consensus generally points to an expectation of continued strong performance due to ongoing shortages and strategic positioning, yet warnings about the risks of price corrections and the diminishing growth after an impressive upward trajectory remain prevalent. Overall, the sentiment around Micron intersects optimism regarding its innovations with caution about its current valuation and the cyclical nature of the memory market.

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 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.

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.
