This summary was created by AI, based on 53 opinions in the last 12 months.

Micron Technology (MU-Q) is experiencing a remarkable surge, largely driven by skyrocketing demand for memory products, particularly due to the ongoing data center boom and advancements in AI. However, many experts caution against chasing the stock at current levels, as it has already appreciated significantly this year, with some reviews indicating price increases of over 200%. While the overall sentiment remains positive about its growth potential, the cyclical nature of the memory market raises concerns about sustainability, especially as competition increases. Analysts express mixed opinions, with some viewing it as a core holding due to its strong earnings and positioning in the memory sector, while others express concerns about overvaluation and potential for a market correction. The company’s revenue growth is impressive, yet participants are advised to consider market timing and potential pullbacks before making additional investments.

TRADE

Very volatile, reflecting the semis industry. Every 2-3 years, there's a big dip which you buy, then the shares run. MU is a good company, but he prefers something like ADI. It's a good trade stock, though.

PARTIAL BUY

12-month target of $162.50. Buy a third here at $112, another around $108, and then $102. Both manufactures and designs. Was at $150, now at $112; could be a theme of today's show that a selloff provides great opportunities.

BUY
Semiconductor opportunities.

Great opportunity to pick up 4 pillars. MU on the manufacturing, TSM for the foundry, LRCX or KLAC or ASML as the equipment suppliers, NVDA is a gift down here as a designer. And (he can't believe he's going to say this) even INTC; come 2025, it will be competitive with NVDA.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

As a global leader in the manufacturing of digital memory storage technology, we again reiterate MU as a TOP PICK.  The role AI large language plays in the demand for these products continues to be strong.  It trades at 16x earnings and 3.4x book value.  Cash reserves are being used prudently to reduce debt and buy back shares.  We continue to recommend a stop at $118, looking to achieve $161 -- upside potential of 22%.  Yield 0.3%

(Analysts’ price target is $161.27)
TOP PICK

Growing for a reason, which is that exponentially increasing revenue because of demand for its product. Sweet spot for servers and GPUs. Technically, sat around 50-day MA for a while, can move aggressively after a breakout. Could see it continue to do well through July. Yield is 0.3%.

(Analysts’ price target is $163.88)
BUY

In answer to the question comparing NVIDIA and Micron, he can't tell which one will outperform so you could buy both on a pullback. He considers them more of a trading type of stock. Be careful though - they have high momentum have the potential to be very volatile

WATCH
MU vs. CLS vs. NVDA

When everything's going up together, makes it harder to differentiate on a technical basis. He compares stocks head to head using charts to see which are outperforming.

Right now, NVDA has been the highest ranked stock in US reports, and that's the one he holds. In Canada, CLS has been the highest-ranked stock, and his portfolios hold that as well. MU has been trailing a bit, but might catch up, hard to say.

HOLD

Just yesterday, BAC listed it as one of its favourites, with a 12-month price target of $175. His own target is between $155-160. 2/3 of revenue is in DRAM, and that's why it's done so well, especially needed for AI.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 02/24, Up 52.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with MU has achieved its target at $134.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering half the position at this time and trailing up the stop (from $101) to $118.  

SELL

Pretty fully priced. He's taken profits. You could probably look a little further down the food chain, perhaps at some of the equipment suppliers like ASML or ALAB.

(Analysts’ price target is $128.00)

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate this maker of memory chips as a TOP PICK. It has just released a high capacity "monolithic" chip  that is the first of its kind for critical applications with AI and machine learning.  It trades at 15x earnings and under 3x book value.  We like that quarterly cash reserves remain stable as they aggressively retire debt.  We recommend trailing up the stop (from $82) to $101, looking to achieve $134 -- upside potential of 19%.  Yield 0.4%  

(Analysts’ price target is $133.50)
TOP PICK

AI is in its infancy, major driver of profitability. Has come down with the market, so at a relatively good level. Lots of upside on fundamentals and technicals. The price target is $132, but could go as high as $150. This type of name should perform well in this phase of the market. Yield is 0.4%.

(Analysts’ price target is $132.67)
TOP PICK

Memory in chips is cyclical, boom/bust. Just came out of a prolonged down cycle. On the other side now. Exposure to high bandwidth memory, needed for AI applications. Chips are sold out for most of fiscal 2025 already. Yield is 0.4%.
