HudBay Minerals (HBM) Advances But Underperforms Market: Key Facts
HudBay Minerals (HBM) closed the most recent trading day at $8.29, moving +1.72% from the previous trading session.
Micron Technology: HBM Ramp-Up May Pressure Margins, But Stock Remains A Buy
Micron Technology, Inc. reported a 38.3% YoY revenue increase, driven by DRAM and NAND sales growth, despite some pricing pressures and inventory adjustments. The company delivered on its guidance, but the stock price declined due to margin pressures and competitive pricing, particularly from China. Micron's Q3 guidance indicates higher sales but continued margin pressure, necessitating careful management of capacity and investments in HBM chips.
Micron Q2: Inflection Point In Sight, Upside Case Strengthens
Q2 revenue rose 38% YoY, driven by 47% DRAM growth and record HBM sales exceeding $1B; Micron is now a key AI memory supplier. Q3 guidance at record $8.8B shows momentum; HBM3E ramp and full 2025 sell-out confirm structural demand strength. Margins to expand in H2 as DRAM pricing recovers and NAND stabilizes; stock offers 25–50% upside on cyclical and secular growth.
Micron: A Dirt-Cheap AI Growth Play
Micron's Q2'25 earnings exceeded expectations due to strong demand for memory products, particularly HBM3E, and showed solid revenue growth in DRAM and NAND segments. The memory and storage company provided a positive outlook for Q3 with projected revenues of $8.8B, reflecting strong demand for memory, driven by Data Centers. HBM-related revenue crossed the $1.0B threshold in Q2'25 and the long term outlook for the memory market benefits Micron significantly.
Micron Q2: Anticipating More HBM Shipment In H2
I reiterate a 'Strong Buy' rating on Micron with a fair value of $140 per share, driven by robust HBM growth and strategic capacity expansion. Micron reported 38.3% revenue growth and 24.9% adjusted operating income, with HBM revenue growing 50% sequentially, reaching a record high. The company is guiding for $8.8 billion in Q3 FY25 revenue, with significant investments in HBM manufacturing, forecasting 38.2% year-over-year growth for FY25.
Micron: Capitalizing On The Prolonged Memory Cycle
Micron stock dropped about 40% since June 2024. It seems that Wall Street is assuming that memory cycle has already peaked. Memory Cycle hasn't peaked yet due to ramp up of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) demand. Micron's revenue will be $3.8B from HBM this fiscal year. Which will offset the decline in NAND and traditional DRAM revenue.
