This summary was created by AI, based on 68 opinions in the last 12 months.

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.

PARTIAL SELL

It rallied 239% last year, given the voracious demand for chips from data centres. Over 30 years, this has rallied several years in a row, like 2013-4. Wouldn't be surprised if the memory stocks keep running, but take a few profits now.

BUY

A core holding. Yes, memory is cyclical, but the AI trade can be longer and stronger in terms of supply and demand. Micron can't meet demand. Eventually, the party will end, but not this year.

BUY

You want to see it break the current $252; if so, it will attract new buyers. The chart the past 2 months is an inverted head and shoulders. The chart based in Q1, then broke out after early April's lows. Micron looks good.

BUY
On fire.

Usually cyclical. But demand is very strong from those involved in AI, data centres, and the cloud. Looks as though the run will extend. He has a 12-month price target of $286, still a decent runway. 

BUY

Their business, high bandwidth memory, is about data centres, and it's on fire. MU should produce earnings that will surprise for the coming year.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They report Tuesday. They've had a big run, so wait for a pullback. The CEO is prudent and honest.

WAIT

Likes the CEO, who is prudent and cautious, but the stock has run up 80% this year. Reports next week. 

Unspecified

He has invested in it in the past. AI demand for memory is accelerating so it is well positioned. Can be considered an oligarchy and should continue to do well.

TOP PICK

Not a direct competitor to NVDA, but very strong in DRAM and NAND markets. Impressed by mid-quarter update which boosted earnings projections by 10-15% for the quarter. Cheaper than peers in the space, could be re-rated when the market wakes up to that. 

Another way to access and get excited about the AI buildout. Yield is 0.38%.

(Analysts’ price target is $150.70)
PARTIAL BUY

It has two businesses. One is high-bandwidth memory which goes into data centres, and two is DRAM which is having poor pricing. You need DRAM pricing to rebound, though you can buy a few shares now.

WAIT

Up 13% in the last 6 months. The stock is inexpensive, but the chart tells him to wait. It had a good run, and now the market says it looks bad.

PARTIAL BUY

Up 10% the past month. It ran up huge into the quarter, but has since gone done. We've seen this pattern better.  Buy some tomorrow, then wait for a 10% interval to buy more.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They just reported a strong quarter. But shares have run $60 to $126 and can't go higher. 

TRADE

It plays in memory and storage tech, and is really cyclical. He targets $142. It doesn't compete with TSMC, very agonistic, because they are a factory and don't design chips.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 07/24, Down 22%)

He's done with memory stocks. The industry has only a few dominant players, and this name is one of them. Yet, there's still crazy cyclicality and it's hard to be differentiated.
