Wondering how to pick strong, market-beating stocks for your investment portfolio? Look no further than the Zacks Focus List.
I initially rated Micron Technology as “Hold” due to near-term challenges. Now I upgraded it to “Buy”, anticipating growth from Apple's iPhone 17 DRAM incorporation (September). Micron's Q2 FY2025 results showed strong sales and EPS, driven by HBM and DRAM segments, despite NAND segment pressures on gross profit margins. AI and non-AI demand, particularly from data centers and the upcoming iPhone 17, are expected to drive significant DRAM revenue growth, supporting a 51% upside potential for the stock price.
Micron (MU) closed at $77.77 in the latest trading session, marking a +1.07% move from the prior day.
When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?
BOISE, Idaho, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU) announced today that company executives will participate at the 53rd Annual J.P. Morgan Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference in Boston, Massachusetts on Wednesday, May 14, at 6:40 a.m. Mountain Time.
Recently, Zacks.com users have been paying close attention to Micron (MU). This makes it worthwhile to examine what the stock has in store.
Micron Technology is in a favorable price action position, bouncing on a decade-long trend line. Shares are still holding up since the April 7 lows. My bull case is driven by limited tariff exposure, strong pricing power, and promising HBM sales after earnings data came in from SK hynix. That said, I remain concerned about recent insider selling and gross margin pressure from NAND oversupply.
Micron Technology stock is highly cyclical, suggesting investors should only consider buying aggressively at or close to its cyclical bottoms. MU stock collapsed about 60% from its 2024 highs, as the market showed us once again that it's always forward-looking. I demonstrate why. I also explain why MU's $60 level is anticipated to be a robust support zone that should see buyers looking to defend it aggressively, bolstering buying momentum.
Micron Technology (MU 3.89%) stock is moving higher Wednesday with some big help from bullish momentum for the broader market. The company's share price was up 4.6% as of 3:25 p.m.
With its strong positioning in AI and data center markets, along with an attractive valuation, holding MU stock is the prudent choice for investors right now.
Micron's HBM revenue surged 50% sequentially in Q2 FY25, reaching over $1B and driving 57% of CNBU sales. Estimated $5–7B in China-exposed revenue faces 25% tariffs, potentially reducing EPS by $0.44–$0.62 per share. Despite consensus FY25 EPS of $6.97, shares dropped 20%—more than double the worst-case 9% earnings hit.
Micron Technology (MU -2.81%) stock ended Monday's trading in the red. The company's share price fell 3% in the session and had been down as much as 4.6% earlier in the day.
