Mizuho Securities reiterates Outperform ratings on both Micron and Sandisk in a research note.
Micron Technology, Inc. stock has fallen by over 20% from recent highs. Despite some momentum headwinds, MU is poised for another move higher. I expect the persistent memory shortage driven by outsized AI demand to continue.
Micron has added $43.8 billion to its market value so far on Wednesday.
Micron Technology (MU) remains a Strong Buy as earnings power accelerates and valuation discounts widen despite recent market-driven pullback. MU delivered record 2Q 2026 results with $23.86B revenue, guiding to $33.5B in 3Q and 81% gross margin, signaling robust AI-driven demand. Capex is set to exceed $25B in 2026 and rise further in 2027, fueling both growth and cyclical oversupply fears amid sector volatility.
I'm downgrading Micron Technology, Inc. to a Sell, and I think the risk-reward has turned unfavorable after the recent pullback. Despite exceptional Q2 results, EPS $12.20 vs. $9.31 consensus, revenue $23.86B vs. $20.07B, the market reaction was negative, which tells me positives were already priced in. I think that rising capex guidance will compress free cash flow even as MU earnings soar, which also raises valuation concerns.
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU | MU Price Prediction) shares are up 9% in Wednesday morning trading, climbing from an opening price of $337.84 to around $370.
Micron Technology is poised for further upside, with a high conviction that $400 will be reached before $250 due to persistent supply constraints. Current supply-demand imbalance, robust pricing power, and margin expansion support a bullish thesis, as supply remains tight and demand is underestimated in consensus models. Volatility and crowded trade risks have eased, enabling a renewed Buy stance after a brief Hold, as positioning has normalized and daily price swings have moderated.
No one stays on top forever. That goes for the hottest stocks in the AI trade, too.
Citi trimmed its price target on Micron Technology (Nasdaq: MU | MU Price Prediction) to $425 from $510 but held firm on its Buy rating, pushing back against what it sees as an overblown narrative around TurboQuant's impact on memory demand.
Micron stock (NASDAQ: MU) is witnessing some sharp divergence in the current quarter. It posted record fiscal second-quarter results and leaned hard into the idea that memory has become a strategic part of the AI buildout.
Micron shares fell 10% Monday, continuing a slide that began after the company reported earnings on March 18. The memory company's stock has cratered 30% since that blowout report.
Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU | MU Price Prediction) stock is falling 5% in early trading on Monday, trading around $339 after opening at $357.22.
