Micron Technology, Inc. delivered strong Q3 results, with revenues and earnings beating consensus by over 15%. MU's top-line surge was driven by higher volumes and significant price increases amid an ongoing memory chip shortage. Despite recent outperformance, I view MU's current valuation as rather high and question the sustainability of elevated profits.
Let me be very clear: I'm not bearish on Micron Technology, Inc.. However, the SCA agreements that provide some comfort in the long term may limit upside in the near term. Once all planned SCAs are signed, about 40% of MU revenue will sit under fixed prices or ceilings, limiting upside if shortages intensify. Gross margin guidance for Q4 shows only modest expansion, signaling a moderation in price increases, although I don't see the peak of the memcycle yet.
The AI rally is back on, with Micron leading the way.
