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?
Micron Technology, Inc. is benefiting from strong AI-driven demand, pricing power, and next-gen products like HBM, leading to upgraded guidance and robust earnings growth. The company's vertical integration and operating leverage amplify profits during upcycles, but also increase volatility during downturns—typical of the semiconductor sector. Valuation remains attractive versus peers, with potential for multiple expansion as AI demand is still in its early stages and growth outpaces sector averages.
Micron's Q3 2025 results were great, driven by record DRAM sales and significant margin expansion, reinforcing my bullish stance. Micron has just increased its Q4 2025 guidance from $10.7B to $11.2B. Potential 100% semiconductor tariffs pose minimal risk to Micron due to its U.S. operations and likely exemptions for key partners.
