Recent analysis on MU:
" Micron Technology, Inc. should get a major boost from Generative AI opportunities, which need 5-6 times more memory than traditional applications. Despite short-term headwinds off falling ASPs, the cyclical semiconductor memory industry is close to its trough from where it should rebound strongly. Micron, the largest U.S. manufacturer of memory semiconductors, is currently undervalued and close to the bottom of this cycle. Micron is worth buying and holding for at least two years ," writes Seeking Alpha contributor Fountainhead.
" Micron Technology, Inc. stock performance has been mediocre compared to Nvidia Corporation's, but joint demand economics suggest potential growth opportunities. AI applications require more memory chips, which could positively impact Micron's results for Graphics and Compute/Network areas in FQ3-24. Despite potential revenue loss from China, there is still upside potential for Micron, but investors should pay attention to earnings and guidance ," writes SA contributor Chetan Woodun.
