What are Wall Street analysts saying about Micron Technology stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Micron Technology stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Micron is benefiting from solid growth in mobile, automotive and industrial market. The company expects growing demand for new camera and digital features and the increasing application of artificial intelligence will drive DRAM and NAND content in mobile devices. Robust demand for higher density DRAM products across the data center market is a boon. Moreover, growth in the automotive market is likely to be steadily fulled by rising demand for in-vehicle infotainment and advanced driver assistance systems. However, the company is hit by excess inventory with customers in the cloud, graphics and enterprise market. Fall in demand from key customers is a major headwind for the company. Moreover, the U.S.-China trade war has made the demand environment highly uncertain for Micron. Shares underperformed the S&P 500 index in the past year." (2/18/2019)
- 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "We maintain our Samsung’s lower preliminary outlook for 4Q18. Samsung cited excess inventory at its hyperscaler customers and weaker-than-expected demand in smartphones. Samsung also reiterated a similar view of Micron’s that it expects a 2H19 rebound driven by new CPU architectures and launches of new smartphones. Our view is that visibility into the 2H19 remains limited, and based on our industry conversations, excess inventory at hypersacalers will persist for at least another 3-6 months. Moreover, the slowing Chinese economy (exemplified by Apple’s massive miss) makes us cautious on overall demand conditions in the first half. While Micron is trading at historical low P/B and P/E multiples, we could see further downside to the shares if demand conditions worsen." (1/8/2019)
