After a period of unprofitability, Micron Technology has delivered strong margins and growth as it supplies the AI industry. The business has a limited moat, as many competitors exist; past cycles indicate it is a commoditized industry. I argue that MU's valuation seems attractive, despite that.
Micron Technology, Inc. is a key player in AI infrastructure, with memory demand poised to break historic business cycles and drive long-term growth. AI-driven demand is boosting DRAM/NAND markets, supporting higher margins and revenue growth, especially in data center/server segments through 2027. Despite strong fundamentals, Micron trades at low valuations, 6.1x P/CE or a 0.4x PEG, offering significant upside if the market recognizes its pivotal AI role.
Micron Technology, Inc. remains fundamentally strong, benefiting from AI-driven demand and robust financial performance, as highlighted in my previous bullish call. Micron is currently valued as if it lacks both soaring EPS and significant AI exposure, with its forward P/E ratio for FY2026 nearly identical to that of Verizon. The company recently delivered a notable across-the-board upgrade to its FQ4 guidance, reinforcing its fundamental strength and AI-driven momentum.

Micron Technology, Inc.'s turnaround is remarkable, driven by surging demand for DRAM and NAND in AI and data centers, resulting in strong revenue and margin growth.

Micron's robust financial position, improving profitability, and proactive U.S. expansion mitigate macro and geopolitical risks, enhancing long-term resilience.
