Micron Technology: Nothing Is Over
Despite the recent market correction, I maintain a "Buy" rating on Micron Technology, Inc. due to strong fundamentals, rising memory prices, and increasing AI demand. Micron's Q4 revenue hit $8.1 billion, with record data center DRAM sales and significant HBM growth, beating Wall Street expectations. Micron's $14 billion CapEx plan for FY2025 is ambitious but feasible, aiming to meet rising demand and achieve market share parity in HBM.
Micron: High Margin Of Safety
Micron Technology's HBM up-scaling is driving significant profit growth, with profits expected to surge 433% in 2025 and 60% in 2026. Despite disappointing 2Q25 sales guidance, Micron's robust demand for HBM from data centers positions it for long-term growth and margin expansion. Micron's stock is undervalued at 8.6x leading profits, offering a favorable risk/reward ratio with an implied intrinsic value of $165.
Micron Shortens Its Product Cadence To Align With Grace Blackwell (Rating Upgrade)
Micron is turning production to HBM3E 12-high chips for Nvidia's GB300 GPU in 2h25 and anticipating significant revenue growth on a per-chip basis. Q2'25 saw substantial growth in HBM and DRAM modules while NAND lagged due to customer inventory digestion. Management is taking steps to work down inventory by curtailing NAND utilization in Q3'25. This may create an uplift in free cash flow in the coming quarters.
